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

"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."
