Similar for general SEN support (25% non participation vs 11) & free school meals (40 vs 24). So perhaps those who might score low are less likely to be included in results, making those results less reliable. The report itself acknowledges this & advises caution re comparisons over time or place.

Amidst all the talk of England’s #PISA achievements, shouldn’t we also be talking about the representativeness of the population sample? CYP with EHCPs were significantly under represented (non participation rate 7% vs expected rate 1.4%).

Holiday time = reading time I really enjoyed @katymilkman.bsky.social's recent book on behavioural change. Great story telling, lots of insights into individual actions, and also acknowledgement of the role of social context.

We were looking today in a session at @suedpsy.bsky.social at eliciting and reporting child voice. This quote really struck home hard. Eliciting ≠ reporting ≠ hearing ≠acting. #edpsychs
Quotation from Ogle, J., Vincent, S., & Hawkes, M. (2022):
If we seriously mean to improve the life conditions of children we must, as a minimum precondition, establish reporting systems in which they are heard themselves as well as reported on by others (Qvortup, 1990, p. 94)
