Help needed from #TwitterEPs 🙏📚 I am currently seeking qualified EPs to complete a short survey to identify the core components of UK school-based consultation. If you would like to contribute to this research, please follow this link tinyurl.com/mr4843pf Please RT 🌟

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. 🧵

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. lesswrong.com/posts/aPrCzeFf…

I strongly recommend 'The Genetic Lottery' by Kathryn Paige Harden. 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

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

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

A quick reminder that this survey closes on 31st May 2023. qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_ex… Thank you for your support.

My focus really isn’t focussing today 🙃🙃🙃

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/… 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:

Want to work with a super supportive team in a great London borough? Waltham Forest have job ads for a maingrade EP jobsgopublic.com/vacancies/3836… and a senior EP (with SEMH specialism) jobsgopublic.com/vacancies/3836… with a sweet retention bonus. Happy to chat about the role etc.

I really like this idea 👏 PsychBrief / Patrick Langford Open Journal of Educational Psychology (OJEP) edpsy.org.uk/blog/2022/open…

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-educationa… Thoughts? #twitterEPs

This saga of fraud is wild (and we are just at the beginning of it): datacolada.org/109 by Uri Simonsohn, Joe Simmons, & Nelson

Another essential read from Musa al-Gharbi insidehighered.com/opinion/views/…

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/p/your-book-re… V. interesting critique of goals of education and suggested alternatives.

Advice on how to teach reading #twittereps

Strongly recommend these books to better understand learning and early development from Alison Gopnik, Stanislas Dehaene @standehaene.bsky.social, & Kevin Mitchell. Le agradezco Psyacademy por la recomendación de Dehaene, muy interesante y leeré más de su trabajo #twitterEPs

Excited to start my newly qualified post next week at a new LA. Any advice for NQEPs? #TwitterEPs
