@infomorning 20 years as a rural school psych means leaving before your family wakes to provide service to communities fr Yarmouth to Digby, never feeling like your enough but knowing not all kids can access private psychs. Thank you @ConBark & @portiaclarkcbc for the discussion!

This week kids go back to school in Nova Scotia and that can be a source of worry and anxiety for some. Psychologist Dr. Sara King joined Global News Morning to offer some advice to help students and parents tackle back-to-school struggles. @MSVU_Halifax https://t.co/2MdhBYt71v

I’m disappointed in @nasponline’s statement on SLD. I’ll expand on this another time when I’ve had time to better articulate my concerns.

I'm a punk at heart, and I'll be damned if I broke my back 15 years to get to where I am and suddenly shut my mouth and play nice. The system is a disaster and we need to rip it down.

@ShawnaCoppola @ReadOrPrison @npr_ed I've come to care so much about reading instruction because I've reported for years on race and inequality. Reading instruction that is not backed up by what scientists have figured out about how the brain learns to read is an equity issue. I think it may be THE equity issue.

As a black statistician, I absolutely believe that good statistical practice — where you stick to exactly what the data says and acknowledge your assumptions — is inherently anti-racist. It forces nuances, caveats and exceptions onto simplistic ideas. It is toxic to racism.

Ryan McGill presents to Psychologists in the Schools Ass., NS Conference Day. Poor statistical reliability & total lack of evidence for all PSW approaches to LD assessment. Proposed "clinical judgement" is magical incantation.
