I’ve received an ‘autism spectrum screening questionnaire’ (Gillberg, 1993) to complete for a student from a medical professional. Has anyone got experience with this? I’m very shocked at the questions and language used, it’s over 30 years old, is it still widely used? #blueskyeps

This feelings wheel has to be one of the most useful tools as an EP. I have it on a cushion cover in my room, so many students (and adults) use it to express what they hadn’t yet realised. Coupled with Atlas of the Heart (Brene Brown), our understanding of emotions is ever growing.

One conversation → Trust-wide transformation. Moved to tears hearing how after my keynote, Sadie's replaced 'vulnerable' with 'VALUABLE' children across their trust. When we change our language, we change mindsets. When we change mindsets, we change lives. This is what matters. 💫 #EdLeadership
