In the first of a new series on the importance of the use of language in how we view our learners, Jack Simmonds will be taking us through the latest research and social developments in this area.
In this first piece, Jack looks into the language of deficits and disorders, and how one pioneering researcher is changing perceptions.
Inspired by his reading of American psychologist, Carl R. Rogers, Jack turns our attention to the area of positive regard.
Haven’t heard of it? Jack breaks it down into manageable steps, applying it to the teaching & learning that take place on QT’s four-part training course.
Struck by watching Dr Carlene Firmin’s 2019 TEDx Talk, Jack penned this crucial thought-piece on society’s approach to child protection and how we, far too often, attempt to treat the perpetrators of the crime, or worse, the victim themselves.
Dr Firmin calls on us to change our view on the location of abuse, and how it is essential to improving the safety of our children.
