I've created a #Bluesky feed for people in the UK in #Education. It will collate any posts that use these hashtags: #EduSkyUK and #EduUK

I'm hoping it will help people create the education community we used to have on Twitter.

This bus looks like something out of the space age.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,227,205!

New passport arrived. Sad day forever a remoaner.

Me too.

Hoping to find inspiration in this today #52WeeksOfEdD #edD #phdlife

Hyrox training. Nearly killed me. My legs are like jelly.

Love this

Similarly Freire talks about regimes of traditional education perpetuating a model of oppression as tool to retain dominance. It is challenging to speak truth to power.

What a fabulous question. If we take a foucauldian view point power knowledge and truth are inextricably linked, in that one speaks to another and every exercise of power depends on a knowledge that supports it.

Very helpful.

And just like that autumn came.

This sounds so exciting.

Glad you had a great day. Sounds awesome. Mine was one of 'those' days.

And riding the unicycle whilst the seat is on the floor of course and we are peddling whilst sitting on the wheel. 🤣 Apologies I am having one of 'those' days.

Happy New Year

Have you ever had one of 'those' days?

Agree about the conditions for leadership also. We need the right conditions for everyone to thrive.

To all my education friends Happy New Year

RIP Fat Man Scoop

Totally. Deep learning takes time, hard work, effort, compassion, understanding. The Education System isn't geared up for it.

Definitely. The issues stem from an improvement right now culture. Compassion does have a human toil and toll on leaders the problem with both is that the compassion is not always reciprocal and is often confused with 'being nice to people where our compassion must be about learners first.

I only take calls by prior appointment made the text or email.

1.Quality of leadership because it creates the space for wellbeing of staff and improvement.
2.Quality of teaching as it improves life chances of Learners.
3. Stopping relentless legislation and guidance as the education workforce does not need this unnecessary pressure.

Not well enough acknowledged or practised.

Absolutely.
