Absolutely no words for the diabolical behaviour happening at the moment. 💔 Has anybody come across any guidance around how to talk to children and young people about the current riots? #twittereps

Looking forward to talking to @notts_psych trainee EPs about instructional psychology & teaching reading. Will highlight key diffs btwn ATT & RTI. If not recognised many more pupils from low income families will be seen to have reading difficulties. @AEPsychologists @DECPOfficial

@NazamHussainEP @op_ti_ma @notts_psych @AEPsychologists @DECPOfficial It was a great chatting with you, plenty of food for thought for next week’s training on Direct Instruction 💭

@op_ti_ma @notts_psych @AEPsychologists @DECPOfficial Yesterday, i forwarded this paper to trainees on placement in Bradford, amongst other papers. @LearyMelaina

🗞️📢AEP General Secretary, Cath Lowther responds to the Government's SEND & AP improvement plan, published by @educationgovuk this morning #TwitterEPs #SENDreview #SEND ⬇️aep.org.uk/articles/send-…

@Lizzy___Anne So well deserved! 🙌🏼✨

What a week of positivity! A successful end of placement meeting, a Y2/3 job offered and my first written assignment passed! Hard work does pay off 💪🏻 Now ready for a weekend recharge for the final stretch before study week! ✨ #TwitterEPs

A really insightful seminar this morning looking at the BAS3 and exploring different perspectives around the use of psychometric testing with CYP, and how further information can be gathered about a CYP’s strengths and needs from observing the process 💭 #twittereps

@YuvenderP That sounds interesting, I’d love to hear what you did!

@LearyMelaina I love dynamic assessment !!! Did some DA inspired approaches to a session with a young person today!

Preparing for my first #dynamicassessment using the complex figure drawing and bringing a few other tools along. I’ve found some of the resources I made as an Assistant EP so helpful to use alongside assessments to elicit pupil views 📝🌻 #twittereps

Helping young children to manage their behaviors and emotions is arguably preschool’s most important curriculum. Suspending or expelling children for not yet having mastered the same skills they’re enrolled to develop is to miss the point of early childhood education. 🧵

A restful weekend away in Gower to finish off a busy study week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #twittereps

Me and my fellow TEP (and bestie) on news night tonight talking about the impact of the cost of living crisis for children and young people
