Any recommendations for where to start when looking at research into skills such as resilience or empathy in EYFS/ KS1/ KS2?

“Too many young men are isolated” Interesting read summarising the Sir Gareth Southgate talk, he believes 3 things are needed to build resilience in young men: 1. Identity 2. Connection 3. Culture www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Introducing our Personal Development Directory! Our aim is to make this a one-stop resource for PD leaders & teachers to find support, resources, and providers. We’d love feedback & suggestions to improve & please tag anyone who may like to be involved! shorturl.at/dC1qa

Another brilliant listen #highperformance "Children grow up on computer games & learning apps, they rely on dopamine hits early on, then get older & everything is painfully boring. They’re less likely to be creative, successful or invent anything" www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/podcast/jona...

A huge question for #PersonalDevelopment Leads; how are you addressing the PD needs of global majority students? Brilliant to have Wayne from Leeds Cuty Academy joining us at #PDConf25 to discuss #diversity in the PD curriculum pdconf25.eventbrite.co.uk

Hugely excited for this workshop at #PDConf25 👇 @rachtomlinson.bsky.social will be discussing how they create a feeling of #belonging for students at their #primaryschool pdconf25.eventbrite.co.uk

Brilliant talking to The High Performance Foundation this afternoon - looking forward to future collaborations! #personaldevelopment

Looking ahead to #PDConf25 to introduce our brilliant workshops! Choose your own schedule for the day, starting with Ed Kirwan talking about how we support students to develop #empathy pdconf25.eventbrite.co.uk

Possibly our favourite ever #highperformance episode from Prof. Steve Peters "You can't build resilience, your mind is 100% resilient - the question is how do we stop resilience from failing?"

#NewYear resolutions for 2025? We want to bring together more #personaldevelopment professionals to connect, build their own PD community & access high quality CPD to support young people. Starting with our annual #conference in March!

Highly recommend the James Clear episode from #highperformance podcast - some brilliant takeaways #PersonalDevelopment

Such a brilliant line-up for our next Personal Development Conference 🎉 Already looking forward to seeing both old and new faces next year!

Drum-roll please... Our INCREDIBLE Personal Development Conference 2025 Workshops! #PDConf25 pdconf25.eventbrite.co.uk

Happy Friday! Sharing some feel good nostalgia, remember this?! youtu.be/y5Hl0vjSBrQ?...

We are still looking for personal development teachers, leaders & companies willing to support the PD community 🙏

New plan for Regional Improvement Teams is out Can anyone understand it? Where's the money come from for commissioned support? What happens to schools that need intervention? Why does a school with 1 issue get universal support but a school with many get targeted support? www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Until there's agreement about the purpose of education, there can't be agreement on the curriculum. I suspect Becky knows that as well as anyone but I also suspect she'd say that question was out of scope!

The #primary sector for the next Personal Development Conference is massively exciting! Really looking forward to growing this area of the network! #PDConf25

So what time is it safe to put PJs on & start eating the Halloween chocolates? Asking for a friend…🎃👻🍫😂

“We’ve found compelling evidence that non-cognitive skills – such as grit, perseverance, academic interest, and value attributed to learning – are not only significant predictors of success but that their influence grows stronger over time.” neurosciencenews.com/non-cognitiv...

“Pupils must carefully encounter tricky situations if they are to become free thinkers capable of navigating through life with autonomy” Thought provoking blog here by @markmccourt.bsky.social

Some important PSHE to be had here: Extreme misogyny to be treated as terrorism under UK government plans. But please can we take an educative, not punitive approach for children and young people.

We will very soon be announcing the date & location for #PDConf25!! Watch this space 👀👀 #personaldevelopment #PSHE #CIAG #studentwellbeing #charactereducation
