This may be an "old" book Apps J.W. (1991) "Mastering the teaching of adults" but I am enjoying reading the tips (pre Internet) of being an effective facilitator of learning and the metaphors for a teacher. Thank you @chrishall.bsky.social for remembering my quote of this and purchasing for me.

A5 Making use of active learning anf formative actitivies in the classroom. Extended think/pair/share. Being creative with how the learning is shared and making use of multimodal approaches for this and the feedback from tutors and/or peers #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat is organised by a rolling team of volunteers. Each term 3-4 volunteers join the organising team and are mentored by a previous volunteer. Are you interested in becoming a member of a future organising team? If this is you, please complete this form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Interested to find out more about how this inclusive, multi modal approach to supporting independent study works in practice. Thanks for the post @nbridgeman.bsky.social #lthechat

I had the brilliant opportunity to work with @profwgarnham.bsky.social and our new book is now available for pre-order! Creative Approaches to Personal Tutoring and Academic Advising: A Practical Guide of Methods, Activities, and Curriculum Design. www.routledge.com/Creative-App...

Are you a student taking the personal learning option on the #PGCerttHE? Would reading chapters of this free resource on SoTL in a supported manner as part of a reading group be of interest? Collaborate with others to enhance your practice? @[email protected]? doi.org/10.36284/cel...

#LTHEchat A3 The main challenges were remembering to give examples of practice rather than just talk about practice. This is something then to continually help our PGCerters with: Give an example of that - how do you know it worked - capture a quote from a student/a peer. They don't want to boast!

thanks as always to the guest author @richbale.bsky.social , fellow #lthechatters for insights and to the organising team behind the scenes that do all the magic. And of course @suebecks.bsky.social for keeping this brill chat going #lthechat

A6 AI Agents, yes that technology we are fascinated by, is coming for various (entry level) jobs. Using PSF and the Fellowship process to pause and show evidence of where you add human advantage is key. So is critical thinking and not believing the BS. #LTHEChat @richbale.bsky.social

HELP! Today, June 19 (sorry for short notice) I'm exploring how newish staff can develop their personal learning networks, both on and off social media. There used to be a 5 (or 7?) Days of Twitter "course" you could follow to develop your competencies on that platforms. 1/2

Next week's #LTHEChat is set up but I'll be on annual leave for the last one and not participating live. Thanks to all the blogpost guests for generously giving their expertise and responding so quickly and professionally to the Organising Team's requests. 1/4

Q6: If you had to pick just one aspect of your teaching artistry to work on over the next year, what would it be? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response

Q5 Do you think there’s a stigma against considering Higher Education teaching as (to some extent) performative? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response

A4 Spaces to micro teach a topic of your choice and get feedback. Build in the elements of artistry into promotion criteria to reward it. As much about culture as anything else. #LTHEChat

A4 Supportive peer observation in pairs where each get together to talk about what they can learn from each other #LTHEchat

A3. Being offered with opportunity to work with them gives me chance to develop myself. I was initially trained as engineer and worked as one but my role as an educator is developed through working with peers, learning from mistakes and from literature. That free opportunity is essential. #LTHEChat

Q4 What opportunities do you think we (as a sector) could pursue to support colleagues to develop further their artistry of teaching? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response

Q3 How have you been supported to develop your own artistry? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response
