I'm so so so glad there's a healing trajectory. And I don't get it in the sense of living it but some folks I love have gone through similar, really impacts every single thing. It's really wild because it's also so hard to even know if/how it's happening. May you have much relief

That's exactly my experience! 🤣

Oh no worries haha, it isn't even promotion season for it yet. Thank you for the kind words, I'm so proud I was able to do it in a tough year!! Hoping the haze lifts or at least has comforting elements

Me when you approve of my stats choices 🥰🥰🥰

Me running into my office like "I'm always saying not enough people are talking about this," 🤣

ok silly post haha but it was just too perfect that I've had this for ten years AND I'm about to have a book out with the same press

although I always think these inventories deeply need more dimensionality!!

situational depression is still depression tho

loving measurement is a strange asset in the medical space! Thank you

you know I do not want to be a source of dunking in the middle of a pile-on regardless of my disagreements so just deleted my initial post

Not truly I think, charitably reading it is just a very angry backlash post essentially trying to say people aren't caring enough about injustice. I don't want to contribute to a pile on but easy to find if you search

haha it is confusingly named !

"UX" and "design" sure hides a multitude of sins

Wishing you all the same!!

Fascinating example of an intervention counter-effect

thank you <3 I am kidding around, I'm v tough and this is extremely worth doing!

LMFAO I just yelled to my wife "this test might include needles" and she said "yeah that makes sense"

uh oh I didn't know that

People: THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Me: ok!!!!! I think children are worth thinking about!!

oh my word, I am DOWN the rabbit hole now on research on 12 year olds' strategies, creativity and divergent thinking (so much goes on in development I picked the age as one that felt v salient to early code learners from my own dev psych expertise)

We are wwwwwaaaaayyyyyyy to much in the science lab over here!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAH

oh my god Carl my mind did NOT go there

Amelia Bedelia hours at all times

I am doing a nerve conduction study today

my wife, a neuroscientist: 😀 I could do that 😀 I wish they would let me shock you 😀 😀 😀

In educational psychology and learning analytics more generally, a good keyword is "Intelligent Tutoring Systems" or ITS; there are some summary pieces in handbooks and overviews that come up when you look for this

Can Tutors Monitor Students' Understanding Accurately? Students learn more and gain greater understanding from one-to-one tutoring. The preferred explanation has been that the tutors' pedagogical skills are responsible for the learning gains. Pedagogi...

Here's a fun one to start with: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Currently I've put the sources explicitly behind my skill choices here in a file that's readable for humans *and* claude; I haven't yet updated with the tutor literature but I will today after I finish reading a few papers! (can't consume as fast a bot lol)

In fact now I am going to experiment with how I would redesign this for a different developmental age...

You could also co-design a skill WITH your kiddos and claude (and you could use my learning-opportunities Principles md as a guide to the science), which I think would be a wonderful way to encourage their ownership and perhaps you will make a version tailored to their goals!
