Proud to have an article in the latest Professional Development Today (24.1). The journal is all about the curriculum and my article is ‘The Unintended Consequences Of The Curriculum.’ I’m exploring the decimation of the Arts, and whether it’s a curriculum for all students. What do you think ?

#WomenEd Campaign: Flexible Working in Education This isn't just a perk - it’s essential for many women with disabilities or caregiving responsibilities. EU research highlights that parenthood disproportionately impacts mothers in the labor market due to unequal caregiving burdens (GEI, 2019). 🧵 1/3
