Ignoring difference isn’t kindness—it’s erasure. We want every student to be seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are. #LeadInclusion #Equity #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

In the implementation of MTSS, intervention isn't the starting point. Year one, is all about tier one. Investing there first will pay off in the end. #LeadInclusion #MTSS #UDL #TeacherTwitter #EduSky

I remain convinced that any educational paradigm that stakes it’s legitimacy on “catching cheaters” has already fundamentally lost the plot on how to do education.

Being “interest-led” isn’t enough.
Monotropism means honouring deep attention, autonomy & sensory safety, not weaponising interests for compliance.

Just back from a quick trip to Chicago, where I spent the day diving into UDL with the Wilmette district. For many, it was their first real introduction—and what a joy it was to see ideas spark, creativity flow, and plenty of laughter along the way.
