Hello! This account is all about finding the space to breathe and focus in our hectic teaching lives. It’s these spaces (sometimes only a few nanoseconds long) which allow us to find the most useful response to enable our pupils to learn, progress and self regulate.

25-33 pupils per class = 25-33 variables which is what makes teaching so unpredictable…

The best gift we can give others is our attention. All too often we have our mind on other things when someone is talking to us or is beside us. When we listen to them with our full attention, or look openly, we not only see them in their fullness, we also see ourself. Kindness matters. #life #love
