You know what? Buy yourself those books you want. You deserve it.

The state of our university system is 😱. People are losing their jobs and courses are being cut at a heartbreaking rate. We need artists and creative work and some career areas depend on degrees. What’s going on? #plymouthUniversity #FineArtMatters #ArtTeachers #ArtTherapy #ArtFullstop

Only 3 chapters in and already worth the wait. 🥳 A belated Mother’s Day pressie 🥰. @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social

Interesting read on what can change relatively easily if we want an education system that works for everyone. the-difference.com/wp-content/u...

#bookskybooks📚what a beautiful book. Not sure how I am going to follow that or leave these people behind.

#edpsychs As part of our research on the DEdPsy course at UEL, colleagues and I are seeking participants for our research into EPs’ values and their impact on use of assessment tools. EPs working in the UK are eligible to take part and we would be so grateful! forms.office.com/e/kbDBmm9nWc

My thesis looking into self regulated learning in secondary schools. Having a focus on processes rather than content in learning situations helps a wider range of learners develop a sense of competence. 😊 #edpych #education

Me in the WSJ today, arguing that the relationship between social media and mental health is not clear cut, and bans for teenagers aren't the answer. (NB I did not pick this title, I would have gone for something kinder. I understand why people are worried.) 1/ www.wsj.com/health/welln...

Essay | Stop Panicking Over Teens and Social Media

Modern life is digital. Adults need to help young people navigate the costs and benefits, not launch bans and hope for the best.

Great discussion Re the EP role, & representation. Mainly people who are supported by parents or partners able to apply. Limiting diversity. I waited ~15 years to apply as 1yr masters changed to 3 yr doctorate. I’d stayed as P/T so the training fees were nearly a match to my income.

Christmas present reading on a crispy day. What are people reading this weekend? Still life was a slow start for me but now am fully invested.

Absolutely loving this book.

Christmas is different when your children don’t wake up till lunch time. Silver linings: we are making new traditions and last night had the best time at a silent disco at Esquires. Genius idea. Great finding new things to enjoy with adult daughter.

Another moment of naivety re accessibility. Question: why is the breast scanning machine for standing users only? Aren’t all other scanners horizontal? BBC breakfast reported this am, cancer can’t be detected or monitored in some wheelchair users. 🤯

Lots of people don’t function well under stress. Growing up in shouty and fear based household means we can travel back to a frightened headspace when under stress. From a learning perspective invoking those feelings isn’t helpful.
