That’s really lovely to hear. When you study something for so long the key thing you want is for the work to be useful😊 we are still using consultation regularly in our work but have just advertised joint consultations (two EPs) again to see if there is appetite in our settings.

Graphic novels get them reading - Reading for Pleasure

There are now hundreds of inspirational examples of practice on the @openuni-rfp.bsky.social website. I've just spent a few minutes reading through a fantastic one about the importance of graphic novels from my former colleague @richardruddick.bsky.social. So many ideas! ourfp.org/eop/graphic-...

Thanks Carl. I think Deci & Ryan framework is helpful to unpack thinking on motivation but dichotomy never matched my experience with CyP; individual differences and changes over time within learning processes has good face validity. Thank you for sharing these papers😊

I've been running workshops for teachers on teaching poetry for about 40 years or more and I do at least one session a year on it where I teach at Goldsmiths University of London. We have a new course about to run at CLPE on poetry, people and places. Do join us!

Some of our team write a letter for most times they are involved, for others it’s particularly for secondary students. With advices sometimes the psychological perspective is written as a letter to the child. I think they can provide really powerful messages when written directly, affirmations etc☺️
