Excited to start my newly qualified post next week at a new LA. Any advice for NQEPs? #TwitterEPs
Strongly recommend these books to better understand learning and early development from @AlisonGopnik, @StanDehaene, & @WiringTheBrain. Le agradezco @psyacademy_ por la recomendación de Dehaene, muy interesante y leeré más de su trabajo #twitterEPs
Advice on how to teach reading #twittereps
Neuroscientist Reid Lyon offers 10 maxims about what we know about how children learn to read: bit.ly/3Kf3WtS. The research support for these claims is here: bit.ly/3rNCPQf (pdf)
Has anyone heard of/have any thoughts on Kieran Egan or his book: The Educated Mind: How Cognitive Tools Shape Our Understanding (1991)? 1st heard about it from this (long) review: astralcodexten.substack.com/… V. interesting critique of goals of education and suggested alternatives.
This saga of fraud is wild (and we are just at the beginning of it): datacolada.org/109 by @uri_sohn, @jpsimmon, & Nelson
The UCL ed psych doctorate course is "winding down" due to a desire by the DfE to have a greater distribution of courses across the country (several are currently concentrated in London) and because the IoE also offers the doctorate schoolsweek.co.uk/top-educat… Thoughts? #twitterEPs

Lots of coverage today of the UK study that says breastfed kids are more likely to get good exam results.
This is the study: adc.bmj.com/content/early/20…
I can't possibly write another article about this because you'll think I'm obsessed, so here's a Twitter thread about it instead:

How do TEPs and EPs go about collecting child voice post consultation or assessment? Or just in general about how things are at school? Wondering if anyone uses any apps or online tools? Any thoughts much appreciated #twittereps
Few things better than going in for a school visit, finding out that a load of farm animals are in school today, and the kid you're observing during break goes to see them #twitterEPs

I strongly recommend 'The Genetic Lottery' by @kph3k. We cannot ignore the role genetics plays in understanding ourselves, but also we must disentangle the history of eugenics from genetics research to move forward. Super thought-provoking
You are almost certainly very bad at judging yourself for things related to self-worth. Try and recalibrate using information from others.
Hay una alta probabilidad de que no te juzgues con precisión. Tienes que usar las opiniones de las otras personas.

Another attempt to reduce the complexity of rising adolescent self-harm to smartphones.
Important to note:
The original graph has been re-drawn in ways that affect its interpretation.
The study it’s taken from (by my colleagues in Manchester) drew a different conclusion.
