I listened to this yesterday - brilliant & helpful.

Also unhelpful in KS3/4. Which retrieval technique should we use when a YP is masking?

excellent explainers & training for schools on the best evidence-based research ✨

Agreed. It’s so frustrating - there is lots of fab research out there, conducted to the highest ethical & academic standards, eg @grrand-team.bsky.social’s impressive RE-STAR project on emotional regulation in the classroom.

@annafreudcharity.bsky.social, @thementalelf.bsky.social & others have

‘With your body’

‘Compliantly perform arbitrarily selected explicit behaviours so I don’t need to attune to or decode your internal emotional/cognitive states’ 🙄

Great thread - thanks for sharing! 🙏

Good to hear this!

I’m guessing that a lot of our creative & integrative T&L in specialist & AP settings, EOTAS & home ed would work well if introduced as part of ‘core’ pedagogy and provision ✨

These might include preferred formats/modalities (eg access to audio versions of texts).

Also, I’m wary of the assumption that support/scaffolding should be gradually phased out. YP with eg processing/focusing difficulties/differences (eg dyslexics & ADHDers) ought to be able to count on ongoing & reliable reasonable adjustments - just as adults are entitled to in the workplace.

Really surprised not to see working with YP interest/motivation mentioned in support strategies.

Super important for #neurodivergent & #monotropic learners with/without so-called ‘SEND’.

Here’s why ✨

This is a scary headline for families already struggling for much-needed support.

Families: the law hasn’t changed and the process of legally diluting YP’s rights would take years.

IPSEA has fab legal info & template letters to request support ❤️

Yes exactly

I find this time of year tough because it’s when our community groups fill up with new families whose YP can’t stay in school. Otherwise, not bad thanks! Yourself?

“SEND is not a framework for inclusion, but an administrative construct created to manage difference without requiring the education system itself to change” - @kieranrose.bsky.social 🙏

Agreed.

Congratulations!

Great point. Market research-style polls can be interesting, but they don’t have the ethics standards or rigour of actual academic research.

This kind of content would make a great data set for discourse analysis though 🤭
