I don’t think I’ll ever get used to how tiring it feels after a morning of assessment and consultation😴

I’ve never watched something so interesting #COP26

A great two days of DA. My favourite quote from a child:
“this has been the best thing I’ve ever done…I feel proud”

Learning to take breaks and switch off…Started the half term break celebrating my brother getting married🥂 and ending it by visiting wonderful friends in London💃🏻

@_FloPsych I don’t think there’s one way of writing a personal statement. However, the way I structured mine was: Introducing myself and academic background; experience in different roles related to the 3 ways EPs work; necessary skills; ending paragraph. Hope that helps☺️

A busy week of placement and thesis planning, ended with a wonderful evening with friends🥰

I used to find typing up psychology reports a chore but then I realised it's not just a report, it's someone's story, and it deserves care & attention because you're in a privileged position to be tasked with telling their story

Charity shop finds ready for working with Early Years children✅

@EvieTEP I have a You Choose book. You may not have the time to buy it ready for your assessment, but I highly recommend it. Super visual!

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

First WHOLE DAY in a school for over 9 months! 🙌🏼 Something that used to be so familiar felt very surreal🤔 but reminded me why I love what I do.

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

@DrMarySD Sounds lovely Mary! I’m in my favourite restaurant in Liverpool, and soon to be off celebrating a friend’s birthday. Have a lovely rest!

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

A week filled with discussing ontology, epistemology, paradigms, methods and methodology has meant I don’t know how to answer my friends when they ask about my week… #TEP #aweekinthelifeofatep

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

@NatNealPsy @HMessh Great advice! Plus, succinctly write about your experience to date where you’ve applied psychology and it’s significance☺️

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

@samboog Your notebook is to hand, and when all else fails, I’ll rely on the uno cards😂

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

After the longest summer 💆🏻‍♀️, here’s hoping all the year 1 knowledge comes flooding back in time for beginning year 2🤞🏼

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

@DrJuliaHowe @southglosCIC @VSLpool @VirtSchl_Kent @VirtualSch_BHCC @SchoolWalsall Thank you for this. Definitely something to consider and discuss with virtual schools so I can get an idea of whether this is doable.

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

A rough draft of potential thesis research questions...
Do any of these sound useful to you? Let me know any feedback as to whether this is relevant to your role (EPs, designated teachers, virtual schools etc)@southglosCIC @VSLpool @VirtSchl_Kent @VirtualSch_BHCC @SchoolWalsall

[Ellen Murden @EllenMurden]

@WillPsyc @southglosCIC @VSLpool @VirtSchl_Kent @VirtualSch_BHCC @SchoolWalsall @Aimee_psych Thanks Will. Yes, I've read Aimee's thesis but hadn't seen the more recent one - thanks for sharing! Definitely don't want to reinvent the wheel!
