I am so excited to be attending the DECP Annual Conference in Manchester as a trainee representative 🤩 I’ll be writing a review for The Debate and am really looking forward to connecting with others while there! #edpsychs

Just to let you know I have set up an educational psychology feed which you can find by going into the feed menu (right side), scrolling down until you reach discover and then searching for educational psychology. You can post to this feed by using the following hashtags #BlueSkyEPS or #edpsychs.

Neurodiversity affirming language is SO important - I read so many referral forms which describe traits with an unintentionally problematic lens. LANGUAGE IS EVERYTHING!

I have noticed a steady incline in the use of Bluesky.. are people using both this and X or are people making the move over? 🤔 not sure I can keep up with both!

The first half of my week was spent being introduced to my first year placement LA, where I was able to visit some local schools, shadow some EP work, and meet some of the team. It felt so lovely to be back out and about, meeting new people and interacting with children again ☺️

Just finished reading ‘Flowers for Algernon’ which was on the pre-course reading list. It triggered interesting reflections on IQ, belonging, identity and much more.. would recommend giving it a read! 📖 #edpsych

My last week day to myself before starting the course on Monday after a long break from work and responsibility. Spent the morning looking over my pre course tasks before I try and tick off another novel from the task list this afternoon. The sun is shining here today so I think a walk is needed ☀️

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs

Hey folks - this is your reminder of this important graph from @AdamMGrant. You may be tempted to go above and give it your all, especially if you're an educator at the beginning of the school year, but it's fine to pace yourself and listen to what you need. #teacherwellbeingselfcare
