This is tragic...

On that, I challenged myself to present an ePoster rather than my usual go-to of a ppt presentation. Thank you to those of you who attended the session, asked thought-provoking questions, and offered interest and positivity in my work. I hope to be back for BERA 2026 with an update!

Great to have attended my first British Educational Research Association (BERA) conference in Brighton last week! It was heartening and inspiring to attend some fascinating sessions on a range of topics, and my brain is fizzing with ideas and the drive to complete my PhD research.

Thanks for including me - esteemed company indeed! Onwards for true inclusive education...

An underlined quote in a book that reads as follows… “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply. – Stephen R. Covey” And I feel it is important to mention here that I was not the one that highlighted this quote (because I’m not a monster). Again, just to reiterate, I, Adam Sharp, do not, now or ever, go around highlighting passages in books like some kind of savage.

Today is World Listening Day so it's a good time to share this again...

Very interesting blogpost here via British Educational Research Association (BERA), highlighting the challenges for teachers - and pupils - within our current education system.

Time for a shift away from content-heavy teaching, and towards person-centred learning?

Stop the cuts to Arts, Design & Architecture courses at University of Plymouth Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Stop the cuts! Not just for ADA but across the whole of the University of Plymouth - and others too... chng.it/FQHqxYm8wV

Great list, and interesting article that makes me wonder if socio-economic status should be a protected characteristic...

Children with special needs in England may lose legal right to school support Exclusive: Schools minister declines to rule out replacing EHCP documents as part of plans to change Send system

We could instead overhaul the current education system which is content-heavy and set up to make those who learn better through other means feel like failures. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

CPD for educators, whether school practitioners, home-educators, forest school leaders, or anyone who is interested :-)

You should care about disability rights even if you don't care about other people at all. If you stay alive long enough, the question of whether you’ll become disabled is less a matter of if than when. #MS #PPMS #MultipleSclerosis

Pleased to have been invited to present my research at the #BERA Annual Conference 2025 at the University of Sussex. An opportunity to meet others with similar interests in #inclusion for #childrenandyoungpeople with #chronichealthconditions.

They've unwittingly given you so much to write about. All the best with your PhD - it sounds very much needed.

Love the etymology of the English language! So rich, thanks to all the people who have made these islands their home over thousands of years. Long may it continue…
