The early years are crucial - educational inequality starts early. Vocabulary is at the heart of it.

My latest blog for @theeef.bsky.social - how thoughtful, joyful teaching and modelling of vocabulary can make a lasting difference to children’s outcomes.

Young people’s social worlds are ‘thinning’ – here’s how that’s affecting wellbeing
The environments in which young people can explore, fail safely, and develop social mastery has been radically narrowed.

What a joy to be part of such an inspirational, diverse and inclusively minded 3 days at the first LICIE conference!

Overjoyed that a quote from one of my participants about addressing the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ was included in the live artwork 🤩

Hats off to everyone involved!

Powerful keynote by Prof. Julie Dockrell at Day 3 of #LICIE2025, reminding us that language and communication are central to inclusion, learning, and equity.

Oral language underpins cognitive, social, and academic development and classroom environments supporting communication are crucial.

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.

Aaand we’re off!
#LICIE2025 has officially begun, opened by the CIE’s Director Dr Susana Castro-Kemp, the Head of Psychology and Human Development Prof. Zachary Walker and Pro-Director and Vice-Dean Research at IOE Prof. Lynn Ang.
