I worked with the Dept Ed Lead from Manchester Fashion Institute & pals from @manmetdigied.bsky.social to provide guidance around constructive alignment & effective rubrics this week! Both can be a challenge in creative disciplines so it's vital that context insights shape our conversations💐

The book I've been working on with my JLDHE pals is due to be released soon!!! It builds on the Compendium of Innovative Practice and documents the lasting impact the changes we made during COVID 19 had on teaching and learning across the HE sector. So excited to be part of this shorturl.at/zA1dh

The opinion piece I wrote with my good pal Craig Morley has been published today in the Journal of Learning Development in HE. We call upon respective professional associations to do more in community with one another to support third space staff to progress: journal.aldinhe.ac.uk/index.php/jl...

Had fun teaching our core module with Gladson Chikwa today on the PGCert. I love how Gladson merges warmth & professionalism to support our learners. Also, the 'PSF pegs' activity we borrowed from @mairbull.bsky.social's creative leadership session really got people to open up about their values 🌼

I am the new Programme Leader for the PGCert in Learning, Teaching and Assessment at Man Met. This means a lot to me. The way the Man Met teachers supported me as a student had a lasting impact on my life and my social mobility. It's not an easy task but I'll do my best, any advice greatly welcome 🌼

Really enjoyed Bernard Lesiwski's talk: Educational Scholarship and Publication. He used the definitions of SoTL the Future Education Leaders generated together in my session and wove the disparate nature of our support and perspectives together with great insight and sensitivity 🌼

Looking forward to this 🌼 I have an opinion piece written with Craig Morley being published as part of this special issue. We argue that professional associations could play a more active role in supporting the progression of Third Space professionals across the bounds of their disparate fields 💐

Today I am so proud to be supporting colleagues in Arts & Hums as part of their EPC development. Here I am with the Faculty Director of Education Helen McCormick at the start of the event. My workshop is on sharing your practice to develop esteem. If anyone has any tips for attendees please share 💐

I really enjoyed supporting the Future Education Leaders with Sharing their Practice through SoTL last week 🙂 Together they generated a concept of SoTL that acknowledged its cyclical nature as a reflective process and granted space for educators' own experiences and authenticity. Magic 💐

I spoke to Roger about using my favourite rocks to teach a PGCAP session 'Pedagogy on the Rocks'. It was great fun and I would recommend getting in touch if you want to share your practice in a fun and engaging way 💐
