I'm organising an Early Career Researcher led seminar at @UWE_Education on 18th April (in person)

Local colleagues please do share and RT 😊👍

All welcome - the event will feature reflections from 6 ECRs and is aimed at everyone from PG students to mentors and supervisors.

The idea of slower pedagogy is such an important one particularly as children and young people take time to heal and repair after the ruptures caused by the pandemic response. Thank you @WestrayAlison

@sharoncolilles @eecera yes yes yes - I wonder whether the local delicacy will rival haggis?? 🤣😉

Word gap interventions typically get introduced to schools as part of a narrative of ‘what works’ and ‘research informed’ practice. But what if that narrative is rooted in the raciolinguistic ideology that marginalised children display deficits which require emergency fixing?
