I just saw a piece in @thebookseller.com about this fundraiser - to protect and share a collection of over one million Black books in the UK, a labour of love by one collector, Baba Pepukayi, but a vital resource for the nation. www.gofundme.com/f/save-1-mil... Please share, and donate if you can.

“Teaching is neuroscience in the dark… it is the ultimate act of faith.” @funkypedagogy.bsky.social says we’re trying to affect structural change in a child’s brain, but we have no way to check that it is working. (+ Baby Webb watching his mum smash it from the back of the room 🥺) #TTRconnect

SO well put by @funkypedagogy.bsky.social… We’re getting increasingly distant from the thing we’re doing or trying to fix. Or where the idea came from. Or even if it’s what children really need. Does it matter what the current research trend is? What are we really wanting to achieve? #TTRConnect

🧠Still thinking about @ttradioofficial.bsky.social Connect event. Here are my key points: 🔷 know the informedness of your research @funkypedagogy.bsky.social 🔹 'beautiful chaos' in science 🔹 Valuing vulnerability in reading 🔹 Nurturing belonging & equity w/ @mrsfnisar.bsky.social
