Great article by @tomrocksmaths.bsky.social. Getting to the top levels in maths is possible for all groups and backgrounds, but it is currently harder for some people than others. Hence why equity in maths education at all prior attainment levels is so important @meimaths.bsky.social

Being a senior leader at work and a lone parent at home is a joy. But it is also hard. Resisting the urge to try and be a ‘superwoman’ and do it all is hardest of all. Thank-you to the group of inspirational women at the @teachfirst.bsky.social women leadership event for the cup refill #IWD26

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

I’m proud to work in the third sector. Lots of charities do amazing things. But some charities use their status to propagate dangerous and illegal ideals. Let’s project women and girls from this.

Day 1 of my new role at @meimaths.bsky.social. Have just been made a ‘enjoy your first day’ breakfast by #boy2. Nothing better to kick off a new job than coffee, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a brioche. To be eaten with a spoon.

Outside of my day job I was very pleased to be asked to be involved in evaluating the hashtag#PlanetPossibility consortium of grassroots charities, universities, and education partners across the UK. Over three years this consortium reached nearly 95,000 people.

@meimaths.bsky.social conference 2025 extra special since I will be joining the organisation at their first Chief Learning Officer in September. Leaving NCETM will be hard but evaluation is in VERY capable hands and that the two organisations are linked by shared vision and partnership working. 1/n

Over the last couple of months I have been watching - Expertly designed and led PD - With out-of-field maths teachers 'growing' their identity as mathematician, - Become even better at teaching students who need maths teachers the most. So important that these programmes externally evaluated. (1/n)

In #MathsToday I taught a y7 class that I don't normally teach, and filmed them doing some Fluency tasks using double number lines from @ncetm.bsky.social Secondary. They were a pleasure and showed some great insights.

Why have #MathsHubs10Years thrived? 1) Commitment to an evolving, evidence-informed pedagogy for all children to succeed in maths 2) High quality training led by colleagues in both @ncetm.bsky.social and #MathsHubs thus linking theory with practice 3) Relentless focus on culture change in schools
