Interesting discussion with @DaleRockell and Philip Stanley about how we could collaborate on personal and social development in schools. #
Reading the TES forums is scary. I really hope the blinkered, child-fearing/hating views are just people letting off steam. #
Nice compliment for our website: http://bit.ly/6Xv2yH – how we've managed to build a useful site with WordPress [...]

Asher and I had a interesting meeting with Ade Sofola of the Citizenship Foundation yesterday.
She leads on an interesting project at the Foundation – Youth Act, which supports groups of 11–18 year-olds to identify issues of concern to them and their communities and to develop campaigns to tackle them.
In terms of skills, this has a [...]
Morning all,
What better way to kick off a cold January week, than to read our response to the Cabinet Office’s call for evidence on Personalisation and learning. We really do treat you don’t we?
That said, there is exciting elements of this which hint at the direction that involver is beginning to take. This has been on our minds [...]
.@joehallforluton Good job, but what's really important to find out is how they're empowering the children NOT on the school council. #
@luke_cb the participation you want has to have value to the participant in itself. No additional rewards, make the opportunity rewarding. in reply to luke_cb #
@JoeHallforLuton Good methods of communication are key, alongside structures [...]
A few pointers on how to get the most of of your school council for teaching citizenship and improving relationships in your school.
Just been looking around at free/cheap small business CRM, not sure if we really need it, http://civicrm.org/ looks interesting though #

@grahamallcott count me in (Greg too probably) in reply to grahamallcott #
@CompareCRM Right now, no. We are a startup and have [...]

Sorry for not blogging much recently! But here’s a wee update:
We’ve moved into our new office in Old Street – this is really helping us to [...]
@gavinthomson Thanks Gavin, looks interesting. in reply to gavinthomson #
Speaking with the Speaker event RT @gavinthomson: @AsherJac http://www2.lse.ac.uk/publicEvents/events/2010/20100125t1830vOT.aspx #
Locked out of the new office already,and it's only the second day! I thought working from home was unproductive. #
Just bought @scyne a spill resistant keyboard. About a minute outside the shop I spilt coffee on [...]
I just read this really interesting article on how schools in Colorado are finding that in the quest to raise standards and achievement that data alone is a blunt tool; student voice sharpens this.
Their recommendations are excellent, especially:
Utilize student-led outreach to capture feedback from disengaged students.
Have a read: http://blog.ednewscolorado.org/2010/01/05/in-r2t-student-voice-will-sharpen-blunt-instruments/
