    RT @EmmaRoseHart: 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

    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.

    Wonderful to host @Dr_Tre_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!

    1. I’ve been lucky to have been a @UKRI_News Future Leader Fellow @FLFDevNetwork for the last few years, with training ending this week in an inspiring leadership retreat. As academics I think we often are cynical about visions and management speak, but I’ve felt feeling inspired
