An early years educators reads and talks with 4 young children

The early years are crucial - educational inequality starts early. Vocabulary is at the heart of it.

My latest blog for @theeef.bsky.social - how thoughtful, joyful teaching and modelling of vocabulary can make a lasting difference to children’s outcomes.

Young people’s social worlds are ‘thinning’ – here’s how that’s affecting wellbeing The environments in which young people can explore, fail safely, and develop social mastery has been radically narrowed.

Young people have fewer real‑world social spaces than ever; and it’s affecting wellbeing.
Read Professor Eamon McCrory and Ritika Chokhani on “social thinning” in The Conversation.

Overjoyed that a quote from one of my participants about addressing the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ was included in the live artwork 🤩

Powerful keynote by Prof. Julie Dockrell at Day 3 of #LICIE2025, reminding us that language and communication are central to inclusion, learning, and equity.

Oral language underpins cognitive, social, and academic development and classroom environments supporting communication are crucial.

Powerful #LICIE2025 Day 2 keynote by Prof. Marcela Pozas on Differentiated Instruction (DI): vital for inclusion, but still rare in daily practice. Prof. Pozas called for better teacher training, more experimental and longitudinal research, and student voice. DI isn’t a luxury - it’s essential.

Insightful keynote by Prof. Kenneth Poon at #LICIE2025 on the inclusion of students with SEN in mainstream schools.
While many are learning academically, social inclusion remains a challenge.
To truly include, we must foster peer relationships and equip teachers to support social connection.

Achieving justice for children with SEND and neurodivergence in the youth justice system | IOE - Faculty of Education and Society A new report on children with SEND and neurodivergence in the justice system recommends two evidence-based ways to reduce children's risk of reoffending.

Recommendations from @scastrokemp.bsky.social aim to prevent children with SEND and neurodivergence from criminal behaviour. @ucl-ioe-cie.bsky.social

These include developing compulsory teacher training to improve early identification and support.

"We need awareness in the workplace so that support and reasonable adjustments can be made for dyslexic adults. In line with this, we need to remove any stigma there might be about disclosing a dyslexia diagnosis. We know that dyslexia is not related to intelligence yet, for some, 
this myth persists."
