Walking the dog in a hi viz talking about special classes
Anseo.net Primary Round-Up with Simon LewisShow Notes
Are special classes the answer? That is the question I asked at the Un-convention last night, and most of the answers were no. In this video, which you can watch or listen to as a podcast, I ask more questions than I have any answers for, and I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Again, you can have a look at this video at anseo.net/walk or listen on your favourite podcasting platform.
