You know, maybe the DfE needs to ask itself the question about why, if the current extremely heavy emphasis on phonics is 'working', they still need to test reading in year 8? 🤷‍♀️

Autistic folks are _heavily_ represented in STEM fields, so it would be far more accurate to say:

Autism causes vaccines.

It was Green Party policy to champion citizenship education I think, maybe the message got lost

This article explains some of the educational mess we’ve got ourselves into… The curriculum review really should address implementation as well as simply listing content that can be ignored, but even that only addresses the problems in England www.jsse.org/index.php/js...

One approach is to teach about the ‘values’ as concepts to be applied to encourage critical and evaluative thinking about contemporary issues. Otherwise I think the idea of ‘promoting’ democracy or the rule of law as ‘values’ can avoid the political dimension. openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/prism/articl...

This is a really interesting ECSJ article for those thinking about the connections between citizenship and religious education - makes a strong case for using ‘world views’ to bring coherence to teaching journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

UK government has announced its intention to lower the voting age to 16 & 17 for General Elections. To fully understand what this means I recommend 👇 by my School of Social & Political Sciences (Uni of Lincoln) colleague Ben Kisby & co-author @citizenlj.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Sadly, I think we've been teaching digital/media literacy all wrong. Instead of focusing on teaching people how to be skeptical and spot manipulation, we should focus on teaching people how these systems work so they can effectively use them to share their messages and promote their values.

Citizenship speeds up the economic, educational, political and social integration of immigrants.

And yet, several EU countries (e.g. 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇫🇮) have recently made obtaining citizenship more difficult, or plan to do so.

Good that the 🇮🇹 referendum on 8/9 June
points into a different direction.

Great news, I’ve used this lots, look forward to reading the updates

Inaugural Lecture, Professor Oliver Escobar: "Democracy as if the future mattered: Can democratic innovation change the world?" We are undergoing an unprecedented global democratic recession, but also a period of democratic innovation. What is at the heart of this apparent contradiction? Can democracy evolve to improve the prospect of desirable futures for people and planet? The world faces social, political, economic and ecological crises, and there is doubt that traditional forms of democratic governance can cope or even survive. In this context, what can the field of democratic innovation offer to the task of sociopolitical reimagining and change? The field is advancing globally, based on the premise that the challenges of our time require mobilising the collective intelligence and capabilities of citizens and communities. In this inaugural lecture, Oliver Escobar will offer a critical but optimistic take on democratic innovation. He will argue that the next decade will be crucial for the future of democracy and for the democracy of the future. And that we all have a role to play.

📺 The video of my inaugural lecture is now available 👉🏼 www.sps.ed.ac.uk/inaugural-le...

We had some laughs and brightness, as well as some heavier/darker moments, as befits a lecture about #democracy in troubled times.

Thanks to everyone who made the occasion and the professorship possible 🙏🏼

Mental-health lessons in schools sound like a great idea. The trouble is, they don’t work | Lucy Foulkes All-class therapy sessions don’t help, and may even make matters worse. The evidence shows we need different solutions, says Dr Lucy Foulkes, an academic psychologist at Oxford University

I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools

I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling.
