This year's #LearningDisabilityWeek theme of "Do you see me?" aims to celebrate what learning disabled people can bring to our society when they are seen, heard and valued. In her recent blog, our #ExpertsByExperience (EbEs) co-production service manager Suzie Crowter writes about what happens when "co-production" ends up mirroring the imbalances of power that learning disabled and #autistic people have experienced and are there to change. Suzie's examples of #coproduction bad practice: ❌ Agendas weighted in favour of professionals, with little time given to EBEs ❌ Pushing EbEs off the agenda to make space for other, ‘more important’ topics ❌ EbEs being asked to join a project last minute to sign off on decisions that have already been made without their involvement ❌ Meeting structures and documents full of jargon and inaccessible language. So how do we help steer boards and services towards real change? Suzie says: "A lot must be done to change power structures, and genuinely begin to share power in co-production. "We recruit EbEs into co-chair positions of boards so they have the power to control how that board runs and can set the agenda. "But it isn’t as simple as just recruiting an autistic or learning disabled person as co-chair of a meeting. "For power to truly be shared, structures need to adapt to be truly inclusive, and professionals need to change their practice and share their power." Read Suzie's blog on #power sharing, #SystemsChange and what it takes to go from 'Service User' (not a term she subscribes to for its implications of passivity) to 'Expert by Experience'. #Blog link in comments 👇 We hope it offers some food for thought in a week about recognising learning disabled people's valuable stories and experiences and the barriers that still stand in their way of contributing fully to our diverse world. 📷 credit: Staffordshire County Council Co-production Toolkit. #ShiftingPower #WeAreGrapevine #Coventry #Warwickshire

Cooking and baking are excellent educational activities that offer a variety of learning opportunities across multiple subjects: 1. Math Skills: Cooking and baking involve measurements, fractions, and ratios. Kids practice math by doubling recipes, halving ingredients, or converting units (e.g., teaspoons to tablespoons). It’s a hands-on way to make math concepts more concrete and understandable. 2. Science Understanding: Baking, in particular, is like a chemistry experiment. Understanding how ingredients like baking soda, yeast, or eggs interact and why certain conditions (e.g., temperature) are crucial helps children grasp scientific concepts such as reactions, states of matter, and the role of heat in chemical changes. 3. Reading and Comprehension: Following a recipe requires careful reading and comprehension. Kids must understand and follow step-by-step instructions, which improves their ability to read, interpret, and execute written information. 4. Creativity and Problem-Solving: Cooking allows for creativity, especially when experimenting with new ingredients or flavors. If something doesn’t go as planned, children can develop problem-solving skills by figuring out how to fix a dish or make substitutions. 5. Cultural Awareness: Preparing recipes from different cultures can be a gateway to learning about other countries, traditions, and histories. It’s a practical way to introduce children to global diversity and cuisine. 6. Life Skills: Cooking is a fundamental life skill that teaches responsibility, planning, and organization. Kids learn about time management (e.g., preparing ingredients, coordinating cooking times) and the importance of nutrition and healthy eating habits. 7. Fine Motor Skills: For younger children, cooking helps develop fine motor skills through actions like stirring, measuring, kneading, and cutting. 8. Social Skills: Cooking together can build teamwork and communication skills. Whether it’s cooking with family or friends, it fosters cooperation, sharing, and the enjoyment of a shared goal. By integrating cooking and baking into a child’s routine, you’re not only teaching them to make meals but also providing a rich, multi-disciplinary educational experience.

At Treetop Friends, we understand that a teacher's well-being is directly linked to the quality of classroom engagement. By providing teachers with the tools they need, we open the door to more dynamic, involved, and vibrant classroom experiences. With streamlined planning and resources, your teachers spend less time on paperwork and more time doing what they do best - engaging and inspiring young minds. This shift away from administrative burdens allows for a deeper, more meaningful interaction with every child. When teachers are present, responsive, and enthusiastic, children naturally thrive. They feel seen, heard, and motivated. We aim to foster an environment where kids are not just learning, but genuinely flourishing - emotionally, socially, and intellectually. By lightening the load for teachers, we're not just enhancing their professional lives; we're enriching the learning experience for every child in their care. Join us in creating a world where happy teachers lead to flourishing students. Learn more about our approach at Treetop Friends. #TreetopFriends #HappyTeachers #ClassroomEngagement
