The relationship between child poverty & educational outcomes is well established, with children from lower-income households less likely to achieve than children from more affluent families.
How can we reduce inequality in the early years?

This new report provides detailed evidence on the availability of early education and childcare. It confirms that families in disadvantaged areas face greater barriers to accessing EY provision locally and that there are significant regional variations 1/2
NEW: Today marks the release of a world-first study by @Mitch_Inst mapping childcare access for 10 million children across nine countries. The study finds England to be one of the worst countries with 30% of people living in a 'childcare desert' 1/2

In terms of creditable research, the behaviourist approach has always been found wanting, rooted in a place of evidence-lite ideology. However, this important area is always explored, with international, peer-reviewed studies in the @SebdaOrg journal

I have recorded a second series of free short videos with @naomicfisher for Autism Central about education. They include ways to work with school, but also some suggestions if school isn't working and you need to find another way.

This is a brilliant snapshot and much more inclusive and current account than the TES piece. A reminder also that it is @BERANews an organisation that will celebrate 50 years of leading scholarship, not least in curriculum.

The new government has a vital opportunity to make some changes to primary curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. @charliehacking and I offer a way forward for teaching reading and writing in this TES piece, in our linked research paper, and in our new book, The Balancing Act.
How can we finally end the reading wars? Researchers @charliehacking and @Dominic_Wyse offer a new approach

When I was much younger, before I had children, before I had a child who couldn’t go to school, I worked for a children’s charity. I got a call one day from Channel4. Can we comment on the first parent to be sent to jail for not sending her child to school? 🧵1/9
