Very interesting but as with all things the devil will be in the detail. What exactly does 'special education settings' mean? Virtually every class now has students with additional learning needs, is it just formally acknowledging this in ITE? #educationalresearch www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Not to be overly dramatic but I’m doomed! My daughter turned 15 at the end of Feb and my partner bought her a KitchenAid. She was elated. Since the end of Feb, we’ve had brownies, banana bread, vanilla muffins, baked cheesecake, lamingtons (if you know, you know), and now chocolate cake. #EduSkyUk
Reflecting on a great week! Being in Manchester and the Into Film panel discussion gave me a lot to think about 😊 #SkyEdUk
