@DrDanLake @AEPsychologists Looks great! Googling has not turned up anything, how can we access this?

@Helenchappell9 I have an allocation of 50 this year. 15 EYFS (generally more straightforward) and 35 school-age

@eabdavis @svershbow I have a hyphenated last name (one from mum, one from dad), future kids will hyphenate with one of mine (the best one) plus my husband’s surname (he just has the one). Very common in Mediterranean culture and a lovely way to continue lineage IMHO

@sallysomewhere There’s something about actual French frites eaten by a body of water from a takeaway container. No other dining experience can come close to it

[Jess Allen-Summers @tricky_jas]

@sallysomewhere Not even a few pom-frites?! I thought you could get them at any French attraction!

@Juliet_Young1 Three key moments for me were end of viva, thesis amendments being signed off and then HCPC registration coming through!

[Jess Allen-Summers @tricky_jas]

@NazamHussainEP Yes! Maybe this summer will be the one you learn to enjoy fiction! Have a great break xx

@nooch196 April-May typically for a September start, giving teachers time to work their notice period and because that is when current AEPs might be getting offers for places on the doctorate

[Jess Allen-Summers @tricky_jas]

@ShappiKhorsandi Yep we have one here in Leeds who comes round with his horse and cart shouting ‘iron’. The best way of upcycling/recycling IMO!

@JessicaT_psych Amazing! I was the last Manchester TEP called Jessica as far as I’m aware ☺️

@EveMPsych Keep your study days as study days, keeping placement and uni work to the allocated days. Half terms and holidays for big assignments. One foot in front of the other and it gets done!

@Naomilouiset Always first! I like saying things like ‘I noted that he did X’ or ‘I wondered whether this means Y’ making it clear that these are my thoughts rather than some objective truth

[Jess Allen-Summers @tricky_jas]

@DrR_Andrews @UEL_News My understanding is that constructivism is more related to learning theory, rather than an epistemological stance. Constructionism is the belief that reality is socially constructed. Does that make sense? I’m getting major viva flashbacks! 😂

@bellamackie Is he inclined to be a nervous type? My dog will do this if he’s heard a scary noise. Behaviourist told us to carry on confidently to show him nothing to be scared of. Looks slightly suspect though like I’m stealing him or being mean as he can look v pathetic when he wants to

[Jess Allen-Summers @tricky_jas]

@VivianEdPsych Just completed it. I’ll be interested to hear your findings!

@BarrowfordHead Hi, to train as an EP you need an accredited psychology undergraduate degree and then it’s a three-year doctorate training course in England (not sure about the devolved nations) an associate is like a locum I believe. Any Qs happy to help 🙂

@richardosman I had a delighted phone call from my 96 y/o grandma on Xmas day. ‘Most granddaughters buy their grandmas pink fluffy scarves for Christmas, but mine buys me a whodunnit!’ Safe to say she’s happy with her copy of #thursdaymurderclub
