Calling Educational Psychologists in England. We’re conducting an international study on assessment practices in educational psychology. If you have 3+ years’ experience and want to contribute, please express your interest here: www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

Ethical practice is central to educational psychology but underexplored. A survey of 198 EPs (UK & Ireland) highlights challenges incl. unethical assessments, heavy caseloads & practising while impaired, alongside clear training needs. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #edpsychs

The ethical experiences of educational psychologists in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom

This is brilliant stuff. A reasoned explanation of the importance of knowledge in supporting reading. And some thoughts about why a shift to a knowledge curriculum will take time to be revealed in “results”.

Dan Willingham@dtwuva.bsky.social · 4mo ago

New article from E. D. Hirsch and me on (1) the evidence for the importance of knowledge in reading; (2) why it’s taken so long for people to acknowledge the evidence; (3) what we predict if the role of knowledge is taken seriously. www.educationnext.org/rediscoverin...

As a regular marker/feedback giver of adult learners’ work, I found this a very helpful and “resetting” read. I need to keep keeping in mind how feedback receivers *feel* on receipt of my feedback.

Beth G-G@bethgg.bsky.social · 4mo ago

*NEW* Being on the receiving end of feedback has left me feeling flat, despite doing well. It made me think how we focus on the theory & rules around giving pupil feedback, but how often do we consider how it lands? #feedback #EduSky #EduBlogShare impressionthatiget.wordpress.com/2026/04/03/t...

Yikes. Let’s resist cognitive surrender.

“Google has created a misinformation crisis. Studies have shown that people tend to trust what AI tells them without question…Another experiment found that users still listened to AI when it gave them the wrong answer nearly 80% of the time—a grim trend the researchers dubbed “cognitive surrender.”

We were looking today in a session at @suedpsy.bsky.social at eliciting and reporting child voice. This quote really struck home hard. Eliciting ≠ reporting ≠ hearing ≠acting. #edpsychs
