Valuable article, 'Bridging the gap between pre-university and university psychology education in the UK: The role of the BPS Teacher’s Toolkit' – www.bera.ac.uk/blog/bridgin...
This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.
Grammarly is now an enemy of education
"Universities risk putting students in impossible positions where they’re simultaneously told they can use a tool and that using certain functions of that tool constitutes cheating."
Seriously, ban it. It's no friend of education

I’m delighted to say that @edpsy.bsky.social has just published my article about @bpsofficial.bsky.social @bps-dartp.bsky.social @theatp.bsky.social on its blog! 🎉 @edpsydan.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to do this! edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/th...
Read it last week, really enjoyed it! 📚
What happens to science under autocracy? The rise of the National Socialist Party in 1930s Germany provides an (admittedly extreme) example. Prior to the early 1930s, scientists at German institutions won a third of Nobels. 10 years later, that number was 5%, and has never recovered.
Today we're thrilled to publish our latest piece: @abbykirby.bsky.social on her work teaching fic writing to middle schoolers! "It invites students not just to analyze the role of a text, but to partake in its deconstruction and recreation on their own terms." Read or listen to an audio version:

Essentially *all* research and expert assessments show that this does not work. It will not counter Farage, but literally push votes towards Reform.
It genuinely is impossible to overstate how profoundly stupid and strategically illiterate this decision is.
You cannot out-Reform Reform.

Thanks so much, Brad! Amazing to chat with you about this.
Huge shout out to @jwfirth.bsky.social. I just interviewed him about some of the key ideas in his book. I can’t recommend subscribing to his newsletter enough!
Many thanks for sharing, Paul!! And very useful suggestion.
Is Metacognition Too Complex for Teachers? This question is posed by @jwfirth.bsky.social who then presents 5 simple statements to help all of us, not just teachers, better understand the concept. #EduSky
If I were him, I'd add one bullet about metacognitive skills.
