Important research from Susan Bryne and colleagues @RCSI_Irl about the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns.

What have the effects been on the development of young children in Ireland, now aged 24 months?

A short thread 🧵

adc.bmj.com/content/early/… Parents reported on the development of their children (n=312) using measures including the Ages and Stages Developmental Questionnaire (ASQ24). Outcomes were compared to a baseline group of pre-pandemic children (n=605).

I found this interesting to follow through.

However my conclusions are different.

It’s prompted me to reflect more widely on research in education. Are these issues really a matter of professional judgement rather than ‘evudence’?

A thread 🪡 First off, I absolutely agree that movement and developing physical skills and fitness are vitally important at every phase of education.

But let’s look at these studies and consider how relevant their findings are for practitioners in early years and KS1.

Quick reflection about Twitter. About 9.30am yesterday I posted a blog about early learning, play and assessment. Between 9.30am yesterday and now, 3 people have between them posted 125 comments, likes and retweets all critiquing the blog. Meantime several thousand people have read the blog and many others have engaged with either support for its key messages, or critical but constructive feedback.

Anyone else spotted the anti-vaxxers out in force undermining public confidence around possible vaccine against Covid-19?

I’ve already had many WhatsApp messages and seen educationalists spreading half truths. If a vaccine is made available faster than usual - and I really hope it will be - it will have been thoroughly tested for safety.

Occasionally public emergencies require quick responses. Surely this is one?

Terence Conran is someone I admired hugely. When I saw the retrospective of his work ⁦@DesignMuseum⁩ it really made me think about the importance of early learning. theguardian.com/culture/2020/s… When he was a child, Conran spent hours working with wood in the shed. I think that early and deep experience of wood really shaped his work as a designer. Image

Endlessly proud of the work our whole team did @SheringhamNurs1 over the summer term to keep our setting running safely. For anyone concerned about safety of young children coming back into early years and school settings - I found the words of @ShamezLadhani very reassuring.
