We hear a lot about AI in education in the US on here, so can I just tell you about how it's working out in the schools sector in England? It's interesting! It's about data consultants, private education outfits and think tanks. Slow thread...

Been lots of debate about what might turn the dial on child poverty. But we hear far less from families in poverty. Our new briefing sets out a blueprint for a successful child poverty strategy, grounded in experiences of hardship

This autumn will see the publication of the first UK child poverty strategy in many years. It is a time-limited and vital opportunity to make real and lasting difference to the lives of the 4.5 million children currently living in poverty. In this new report, co-produced with IPPR, we set out a realistic and targeted agenda for change. Now is the time to take sustainable and effective action on child poverty, working with the everyday experiences of families who know what would make a difference to them and their lives.

Every year students on our BA Childhood & Youth @sussexfss.bsky.social use #lego to explore key concepts in the #Reggio approach to early years theory & practice. I love the representation of #Malaguzzi meeting local women washing bricks - connection with community at the heart of the approach.

Has anyone else come across this NHS campaign? They're on bus stops and trains at the moment. On one level, what they represent is fairly innocuous as they are just mainly about encouraging parents to read or play with their child. But the idea of 'loading' a young child 'up' really bugs me... 1/

The event will explore the importance of understanding the social worlds of childhood as material practices (from music lessons to den building) embedded within networks of community and governance.
We hope to see you there for our final event of the Autumn term!

Lovely to see so many on here from 'that place'. Question for you, has anyone taken the plunge and completely closed down their X account?
