We have been working hard with a group of critical scholars to review the last twenty years of JUTLP. As we find our way to a new home, we offer a new tradition, a review once every decade (or, in this case, a catch-up on the first two decades). These reviews offer incredible insights into our learning and teaching practice including: 1. Editorial by Editor-in-Chief, Joey Crawford 2. Belonging Systematic Review by Kelly-Ann Allen, Christopher Slaten, Soeun Hong, Ma Lan, Heather Craig, Fiona May, and Victor Counted,. 3. Disability Systematic Review by Brooke Szücs, Sandra Thom-Jones, and Paul Harpur 4. Social Media Systematic Review by Alison Purvis and Sue Beckingham 5. Academic Literacy Scoping Review by Kerry Dobbins 6. Educational Leadership Bibliometric Review by Greeni Maheshwari, Richard Ramsawak, and Samuel Buertey. 7. Leadership Bibliometric Review by Donnie Adams and Visal Moosa 8. Employability Narrative Structured Review by Derek Choi-Lundberg, Tracy Douglas, Marie-Louise Bird, Bianca Coleman, Melanie Greenwood, Romany Martin, Sarah Prior, Farida Saghafi, Erin Roehrer, Suzie Waddingham, Carolyn Wolsey, and Jo-Anne Kelder

Katie Steele (Australian National University) is giving this year's Parfit Memorial Lecture, 'Reasons and Caution in Moral Deliberation' (13 June). Follow the link to register! https://lnkd.in/eG6x3jCB Abstract: Many think moral decisions should err on the safe side: that caution provides a moral reason for choice. Under what reading(s) of ‘caution’ is that convincing? If ‘caution’ stands for describing and valuing the consequences of actions in the morally right way, then it provides a moral reason for choice, but trivially so. What about a more distinct version of ‘caution’– to do with decision making under uncertainty? The prime candidate is risk aversion. I argue, however, that risk aversion in the various ways it is ordinarily understood is not a convincing moral reason for choice. This has important implications for personal deliberations and public debate. I develop an alternative way to understand ‘caution’ under uncertainty as a moral reason for choice. It depends on there being an aspirational benchmark or reference point which rightly transforms the relative expected gains and losses of our actions.

The Patoss Virtual Annual Conference 2024 'How the Past Informs the Future: SASC Authorised' is taking place on Saturday 20th April. Each year some of the top SpLD specialists in their given profession come together for our Annual Conference. This year we are delighted to welcome Professor Anna Barnett & Dr Nichola Stuart who will present their seminar, ‘The Intelligence and Development Scales – 2nd Edition (IDS-2): SASC Authorised’. The IDS-2 is a broad developmental assessment containing 30 subtests across six Domains: Intelligence, Executive Functions, Psychomotor skills, Social-emotional skills, Scholastic skills, and Motivation and Attitude. The IDS-2 is used worldwide and was recently adapted and translated into English, with the collection of UK norms for 5–20-year-olds. Standardised Executive Function tests are an important component of neurodevelopmental assessment. The Executive Functions Domain of the IDS-2 has four subtests: Listing words, Divided attention, Animal colours and Drawing routes. These are designed to measure different aspects of Executive Function working together, but have a primary focus on mental flexibility, working memory, inhibition and planning respectively. In this presentation, we will describe the four Executive Function sub-tests and how they are scored. We will also present a case study to illustrate the interpretation of test results and their use in planning a programme of support.
