💬 Brilliant conversation with Kellie Bright, highlighting the challenges schools face in providing adequate SEND support. She touched on the reality that many children fall into what she describes as a ‘grey area,’ not quite fitting into mainstream or special schools—a subject close to my heart as a parent facing these same hurdles. ✨ 'Every child has a right to an education that enables them to fulfil their potential, we see how our education system—despite the best efforts of schools—forces young people into environments and methods of learning that don’t meet their needs. This isn’t about blaming schools, it’s about a system that needs reform. 🌍 We urgently need systemic change to create inclusive, adaptable learning environments where every child can thrive in a way that is right for them. 🤝 Together, we must push for meaningful change to empower all children to reach their full potential. Let’s connect, share experiences, and work towards a better future for every SEND child and young person. 💡 #SEND #Neurodiversity #InclusiveEducation #EducationReform #Empowerment #SENDParenting #EveryChildMatters #Neuroinclusion Propel People UK https://lnkd.in/e-BV89ne

It’s been a while since I shared an inspiring podcast with you, but I just had to mention this one from Abt Global. I revisited it recently, and it's truly eye-opening. There are many great insights here about how we use data to promote equitable educational policies and approaches. Abt Global always brings valuable insights to the table, and this podcast is no exception. If you're passionate about education and equity like I am, I highly recommend giving it a listen. #AbtGlobal #EducationEquity #FairEducation

As educators, we know that knowledge is power. Nowhere is this more evident than in underserved and displaced populations. According to the United Nations, nearly half of all refugee children are not attending school.   In this episode of the Teach & Learn podcast, I got to chat with Lesley Snowball, educational director for The Digital School, the first integrated digitally enabled school which provides digital and hybrid learning to refugees.

This interview with #KristinCrane, director of #SocialResearch & #Planning for United Way Perth-Huron, was conducted when the #livingwage in #PerthHuron had jumped almost $3 to $20.70. Since Episode 17 was released the living wage has leapt to $22.75. The only area in #Ontario with a higher rate is #Toronto. Crane touches on #universalbasicincome #UBI, #foodinsecurity, #housing, #employeesatisfaction and its impact on the #community. When addressing UBI, she referenced the #ManitobaMincomeExperiment, which ran from 1974 to 1979 and provided a basic income to 1,200 randomly selected low‐income households in #Winnipeg and #Dauphin, a small town in western #Manitoba. Dauphin became what is known as a “saturation site.” This meant every family in the town and surrounding rural era was eligible to join the program. However, not all who were asked to participate did so. Other rural communities were also involved in the project as a control group to compare with the Dauphin participants. According to the entry on the #Mincome experiment at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, “All the data collected by the Mincome experiment remained unstudied until the 1980s. Since then, researchers have pored over the mountain of documents created during the project to analyze the outcomes. Researchers learned that there were many positive results. Involvement in the Mincome project didn’t cause a significant labour force reduction in Dauphin, as some critics of the program feared. The program’s approach to reducing payments based on income meant that it was better for participants to remain working as opposed to leaving the workforce. Most participants continued to work. Two notable groups of people did use Mincome to stay out of the workforce. New mothers chose to stay at home longer with their babies, and teenage boys stayed in school instead of dropping out before Grade 12 to help support their families. The opportunity for students to stay in school was reflected in the higher graduation numbers and university enrollments seen during the experiment. The data collected during the Mincome experiment also showed that Dauphin had lower rates of domestic violence, work‐related injuries, farm and motor vehicle accidents, and mental illnesses than in surrounding areas. This illustrates both that poverty has wide‐reaching consequences and that Mincome had positive outcomes for the whole community.” Support #WoodsteinMedia by becoming a Patron. https://lnkd.in/d8iE2STY or by donating through Paypal https://lnkd.in/gkU_DKa7 United Way Perth-Huron https://lnkd.in/g_hUsk2y #Perthcounty #Huroncounty #Northperth #Stratford

81% of Grade 4 learners in South Africa cannot read with understanding This alarming statistic has far-reaching consequences. When children struggle to comprehend basic reading materials in their early years, it creates a significant barrier to learning as they progress through school. By the time they reach matric (Grade 12), many learners face immense challenges in their final exams due to an inability to fully grasp the content they're expected to master. Improving literacy at a young age is crucial for giving every child the opportunity to succeed, not only in school but in life. Let's work together to change this trajectory and empower the next generation through education. #LiteracyMatters #EducationForAll #EmpowerOurYouth
