@edpsydan.bsky.social and I laugh about ice hockey, shared endeavours, cultural curricula, neo-liberal views of resilience, and singing at the cinema.

Honestly, recording a podcast shouldn't be this much fun.
What can ice hockey teach us about resilience?

🌟New blog post

Does consultation leave EPs ready to meet the challenges we face in 2025? From rampant inequality and austerity to exclusionary politics.

How do we ensure our practice isn't just all talk?

Sean considers this and more in this excellent read: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/al...

This is such a rich piece of half term reading from @carlhendrick.substack.com. Scaffolding is more complex than it might first appear. The contingency rule is hopelessly reductive, and instead tutors must make "uncertain judgements" about support #edpsychs

I've started sharing reflections on instagram through "EdPsych Corner" about neuroaffirming social connections and wanted to share here too, starting with how I love this quote. Belonging isn't just about being there, it's about being valued, noticed & able to take part in ways that feel authentic 💫

I’ve been thinking about which strengths are most visible when people work together and particularly the ones that show up quietly but just as meaningfully. It feels just as true for children as for us as adults, making me think about how we create spaces where every contribution is valued 💭
