    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about the SNA Ballot.

    The SNA ballot was defeated this week, and I explored the disappointment from some people and the reasons from those who voted against it. I have lots and lots of questions.

    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about gratitude ๐Ÿ™

    Every year I'm asked to go on the radio to talk about gifts for teachers, but every year I talk about just being thanked. I'm wondering how often you're thanked by your pupils and parents and guardians, and has that changed over the years?

    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about the highest level of need.

    I got a great comment on social media about prioritising the highest level of need. He said, "Every parent thinks their child has the highest level of need." How do we communicate to the people who made up that phrase that it's a nonsense? I'd love your thoughts.

    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about teaching the arts.

    In this episode, I talk about my favourite subject to teach, which was visual arts, and a little bit on how there's a risk of losing creative thinking in the arts. I preview next month's podcast with Grace Brennan, who is running some interesting summer courses. I try to make a creative analogy of what it's like to be a teacher and why they're always tired at this time of the year.

    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about special classes

    Are special classes the answer? That is the question I asked at the Un-convention last night, and most of the answers were no. In this video, which you can watch or listen to as a podcast, I ask more questions than I have any answers for, and I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Again, you can have a look at this video at anseo.net/walk or listen on your favourite podcasting platform.

    Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about specialised qualifications in SET.

    One of the biggest responses to the unconvention so far is whether teachers need specialised training in SET, and why is it not a requirement? In this ramble on my walk with my dog, I look at the two most popular answers and give some thoughts of my own.
