    An overview of flow

    Flow, the state of being fully absorbed in a task, where time seems to slip away and learning feels effortless, is more than just a psychological concept. This article explores what flow is, why it matters, and how it can be cultivated in schools to support flourishing for all.

    2026 PD Wrap Up: The Perimenopausal Brain at Work
    Perimenopause is quietly shaping the lives of many women working in education right now, yet the conversation around it remains largely focused on the physical. The psychological dimension: the cognitive shifts, the identity questions, the relational changes, has largely gone unaddressed. The 2026 term 2 professional learning webinar, "The Perimenopausal Brain at Work" set out to change that. Grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology, and the practical realities of working in schools, the session explored three interconnected areas: what is actually happening in the perimenopausal brain, the relational and 'noisy' changes that flow from it, and what the research tells us about navigating this transition well. Read on for a summary of the key takeaways, opportunities to reflect on your own experiences and practical resources. Author/Source: PESA and Nicole Border and Berni Cooper of Fluxx.
