Some sensible and positive reforms on offer here, but schools will still struggle to achieve 90% literacy/ numeracy and GCSE targets if this is it: targets don’t equal expertise, people and funding #SchoolsWhitePaper

"Teachers and leaders know the impact disadvantage - in all its forms - has on literacy". Here's @_chrisrossiter of @DriverTrust responding to the government's 'levelling up' white paper. tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Thank you so much to the hugely inspiring @TeresaCremin for talking to @DriverTrust about reading for pleasure and how educators can ignite interest for children who find reading tough. It will be a very valuable part of our Primary Reading course. #Reading #SEND

Not a wordle. Nine children in a classroom of 30 are growing up in poverty in the UK. It doesn't have to be like this.

We're looking at developing our thinking on inclusion and literacy in STEM subjects, does anyone know of a practitioner working in this area? @Nic_Crossley1 @simontanner_SEN @DavidBartram_ @NataliePacker @SENDMattersUK

So good to work with literacy experts at the Driver Youth Trust developing literacy in History, so that our fascinating and essential subject is accessible to all our wonderful students. Strongly recommend contacting the DYT if you want to move literacy forward in your school.
We've loved working with @Bohunt_Trust over the last few months, helping them to develop disciplinary literacy in their history depts. Thanks @rjhammal for putting together this case study for us!

I’ve had several conversations about writing and teacher’s concerns over the skill development. I’d be interested if this is a reflection of concerns in schools or a coincidence. Pls retweet. @InspirePriEng @DriverTrust

How can SENCos provide hope to learners, colleagues & parents amid ongoing challenges at every level of the SEND system? How can they best use resources they already have?

This from @DriverTrust looks very interesting and useful. Had to be with @_chrisrossiter there! Unfortunately, I can’t attend. Hopefully, someone from my followers would be able to.

I am looking forward to @DriverTrust's Community next week. An opportunity to chat to people from all walks of education about matters that impact our pupils. Absolutely free but SO valuable! @KSChallis eventbrite.co.uk/e/dyt-commu…

This term's @DriverTrust community roundtable will be exploring the term 'cultural capital'. How can schools stop the term from becoming reified and really add value to their learners? eventbrite.co.uk/e/dyt-commu…

Literacy must be a priority and @nadhimzahawi is right to call this out. We @DriverTrust are ready to engage with and support the government on how best to address literacy for the most disadvantaged young people in our schools.
The education secretary @nadhimzahawi has pledged to bring forward a schools white paper in the new year outlining plans to 'tackle innumeracy and illiteracy'

Fantastic to hear from @drhelcurran on tonight’s live session of @DriverTrust new SENCo programme. Identification and assessment as a holistic process extending right across school 👏🏻 see below and register your interest for Cohort 2 starting in the new year 👇 – at Lambeth, London
When identifying & assessing different learning needs, it's helpful to remember that learning can be thought of in 3 ways.
Join our Strategic SENCo programme this September to broaden your understanding of SEND and improve identification in your school: bit.ly/3taWfet
