Hi all, Mr Johnson went on a course where he learned displays are distracting and should be removed. Miss Johnson did similar where she learned displays are essential to the learning experience. We’re leaving it up to you. Just hope you get observed by the right one. Thanks x

It is vitally important that we collaborate and get people talking. Early Years Educator Wellbeing matters and too many of the workforce haven’t received appropriate skills, training or support. That has to change. #EYWellbeingWeek #EYWW2024

@mandrakenoor @LydiaJArnold @TiriConference Important question asked by @LydiaJArnold at #TIRIconf24. My blog in @TeachinginHE refers to the importance of reflection in improving policy and practice: …achinginhighereducation.wordpress.com/2023/12/03/inc… #Disability #Inclusion

Do we take enough time to reflect on our practice? A full house this morning for the opening Keynote Creating Connected Community from @LydiaJArnold at #TIRIConf24. @TiriConference @BoltonUni

Check out this little comedian. 🥸 Not long ago I fielded a question about how to interpret a newborn’s smiles and laughter - noting that (at three days old) these behaviors were probably more reflexive than intentional. In doing so, I also made a promise: that meaningful smiles and laughter would be just around the corner. And that once they arrive you really couldn’t miss them. Which brings us to this little joker. You only get a quick glimpse of the game he’s playing with his grandfather, but what you’re watching is the pair using rapid changes in their facial expressions to make one another laugh. And boy, is it effective! Watch as our hero goes from delighted to completely straight faced at the drop of a hat. His serious face makes grandpa laugh and this brings out some of the biggest baby grins you’ll ever see. It’s clear that this little guy is engaging in humor on purpose - and takes real pleasure in making his family laugh. He’s just the right age as well. At about 9 months, babies begin developing “theory of mind” - or the ability to begin envisioning a situation from the viewpoint of another. I’d say he has a pretty good sense of what will make his grandpa guffaw. Wouldn’t you agree? This amazingly expressive little guy was shared to IG by thatbabyluv.

To understand a child we have to watch him at play, study him in his different moods; we cannot project upon him our own prejudices, hopes and fears, or mould him to fit the pattern of our desires. Krishnamurti #child #understanding

So many arguments about teaching styles but at the end of the day, when a 17yo lad spends his wages from his washing up job and turns up at the school he left 7 years ago because he’s heard you’re retiring, your style, whatever it is, was enough 🥹

Enjoyed writing this course, thank you to everyone who contributed @OU_EChildhood @ECSDNetwork @_CREC hope you find it useful

Last day folks!

Fascinating thread. Singing this song in assembly as a child was the closest I got to antiracist education. And now I learn there was more to it.
