Over the moon that my research on the training experiences of TEPs in relation to supporting children with literacy difficulties has been published today, in this special literacy issue of Educational & Child Psychology! 📚

@marksandspencer Hi, please check your DMs. Thank you.

@JPonpolitics Great to see the vital role of ed psychs recognised by your caller. Unfortunate that the white paper only maintains the current training amount of ≈200 EPs per year instead of committing to expanding the workforce by offering additional training places. @TimesRadio

We’ve shared this fluency rubric before and teachers keep coming back to it. Why? Because it helps us see fluency more clearly and gives students more meaningful feedback than speed alone.

Several teachers in Friday's NEW episode reference this rubric!

@spudaustin83 @chezlabeille @SarahSmallwood @RCNorwich @DanielKebedeNEU @LGAcomms @ProspectUnion @NEUnion @AEPsychologists This is interesting. Is it saying that the Soulbury pay increase always has to match the local gov’t increase? If so, then what’s the point of trying to negotiate more? Is it all just a charade?

@spudaustin83 @chezlabeille @RCNorwich @DanielKebedeNEU @LGAcomms @ProspectUnion @NEUnion @AEPsychologists Here we are again- the last working day before a pay rise is due and not even an offer to negotiate…

In February, the AEP made a written submission to the Education Select Committee’s inquiry into “Solving the #SEND Crisis”
We shared with MPs what EPs experience every day: a system under immense pressure – and it’s children and young people who are paying the price.🧵#TwitterEPs

@RCNorwich @spudaustin83 @DanielKebedeNEU @LGAcomms @ProspectUnion @NEUnion @AEPsychologists No wonder there's an EP crisis!

@chezlabeille @DanielKebedeNEU @LGAcomms Amazing that everyone else is worth 5%+

An at times difficult but important watch. There needs to be a national conversation about this; Government and tech companies have huge roles to play to prevent any more tragedies.

In a landmark experiment @mattjwillis and @EmmaWillis lock up a group of schoolchildren’s smartphones for 21 days, in a bid to find out whether they should be banned before the age of 14.

I wonder if this will trickle through to public sector workers (including teaching staff) on the #Soulbury scale… @AEPsychologists @NEUnion 🤔

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The government has announced the following pay rises for public sector workers

- 6% for Armed Forces

- 5.5% for NHS workers and teachers

- 5% for prison officers

- 4.75% for police officers

It will cost £9.4bn - 2/3 funded by government and the rest from savings

One of the most useful activities to do in a transition session is find out about the children's reading identities (and share yours with them). What are their thoughts on reading? What sort of books do they like? How much do they read at home? Who do they enjoy reading with?

[Dr. Freya FRSA @DrFreyaEP]

@DrCraigJoyce Love how you are offering the maingrade roles at A4-9, I think Solihull is only the second service I’ve seen doing that since the scales were extended. It’s a shame it’s not happening more widely.

One of my holiday jobs has been to learn more about Gestalt Language Processors (GLP), as this is coming up more in my work. A SaLT colleague has signposted me to meaningful speech page & work of Marge Blanc. #TwitterEPs anyone else interested in GLP? #Gestalt #SaLT @edpsyuk

If you feel the urge to use a conjunction- and is grand!

@AnnMemmott This looks interesting @slt_becky!

Educational Psychologists typically use a solution focussed and strength based approach in their work and would be keen to be involved in this discussion at a national as well as local level @AEPsychologists @EdPsychBham

Yesterday, I was planning the self-esteem session for my ELSA course. I love these cards from @dr_treisman here is something to ponder this weekend. What do you love or like about yourself? What do others love? What makes you unique? #TwitterEPs #ELSA @Headteacherchat @edpsyuk

@EPonSea @JoannaStanbrid1 @viola_jane Didn’t they redistribute the places? That’s what I heard…
