📈🔍 Exciting findings from our ESRC Centre for Early Mathematics Learning project! We've discovered how Year 1 children's feelings towards maths are related to their maths skills. We'll be launching a training programme for schools to get involve in, stay tuned for more details!🚀

This week I have started as our School Director of People and Culture (or “One University”) with my brilliant colleague Dr Asha Akram 🍉. It’s an honour to be in the role and to be working to support our vision of being an equitable, inclusive and supportive place to work & study.

When you assign a reading & the students can’t stop talking about it & connecting it to their life 😭 truly top tier experience some times I LOVE my job so much 😭❤️‍🔥 today that reading was… Tuck & Yang 2012❤️‍🔥 just highly recommend you add it to your syllabus this second

Thank you Victoria Simms sobering findings, but so great to get the chance to bring together researchers together working at this from multiple angles! Really enjoyed the discussion.

I'm putting together a list of people interested in NHS maternity services reform - historians, antenatal educators, parents, health researchers, midwives, doctors, policy folks etc - for a project I'm working on and some future events. Let me know if you'd like to be added!

What an amazing resource for EF researchers!

Wonderful to host Teresa Crew today who gave a brilliant seminar on experiences of being working class in higher education. Themes of identity, belonging & the role of precarity. The quote “class runs through me like a stick of rock” will stay with me. Thanks, Teresa!

The Government is being urged to tackle the high number of children starting school not ‘school ready’, in a new Child of the North Centre for Young Lives report co-authored by researchers at the University of Sheffield. sheffield.ac.uk/news/governmen…

I feel very lucky to have worked with colleagues to lead a report with Child of the North - setting out an evidence-based plan to tackle the crisis in preschool provision. The report is launched today and already has lots of media coverage 🤩 n8research.org.uk/research-focus…

Excited to share our article out this week in Society for Research in Child Development led by the brilliant Ella James-Brabham as part of her PhD & Claudia von Bastian and Carmel. A real labour of love examining via meta-analysis the relation between home activities & children’s maths skills srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cd…

A pleasure to be involved in this important report out today 📣 on the importance of prioritising the early years and supporting preschool education. Lovely to see our maths & EF intervention “the ONE” featured as an example of innovative practice.

Excited to share our meta-analysis on home maths activities and children's maths skills is published in Society for Research in Child Development! It’s been an amazing project with Dr Emma Blakey, Claudia von Bastian, and Carmel Brough. I’m thrilled to share our key recommendations for the field🧵 shorturl.at/tgMLH

We're excited to hear more from Lauren Parker nee Powell Dr Emma Blakey Mariela Rios Diaz and 50 Things to Do on the 17th!

Little is known, although much is theorized, about the long-run benefits of boosting children's social-emotional skills. Across 450 post-test & follow-up impacts from 86 RCTs, we found similar fadeout rates for intervention impacts on social-emotional & cognitive skills. 1/11

So excited to see this out today which has been years in the making! Experiences of first time parents during the pandemic. With a wonderful team & inspired by our own journeys to becoming parents. Thanks to everyone that shared their stories with us bit.ly/pandemicparent…
