I am still an active teacher, of Critical thinking (undergraduates in Taiwan) Personal development planning (postgraduates in Edinburgh) Critical incident analysis (undergraduates in Edinburgh) Life-wide Learning: ‘What matters to me as a teacher’

I am still learning I started being trained as a reviewer of papers for a journal only last month I am presently enquiring and learning about the nature of my virtual relationships with people I never meet, face-to-face Life-wide Learning: ‘What has mattered to me as a learner’

Why does all of that matter to me as a teacher? Because it matters to me as a learner WHY?

Since the year I left school, I have: Set new targets for the year ahead Planned to achieve them Reviewed progress in the year just past Concentrated on the whole me, not just the world's values Relied extensively on learning from and with peers and others Concentrated on transferable abilities Cared more about my own judgements than the world's Been reasonably successful – and contented

 Specific : What do I want/need to be able to do?  Measurable?: How will this learning or development will be judged?  Achievable : How will I achieve this and what resources or support will I need?  Relevance and ‘added value’ : What will be its use to me personally and professionally? What differences do I plan to make to my organisation/customers?  Time restricted : Target dates for review and completion? SMART Learning Objectives Challenges?

Should/do we offer any elements of that in our practice?

Just means that: We learn more, and better, in interaction with others Socio-constructivist learning

Experience Generalise Reflect Actively Experiment External inputs? Socio- constructivism

Learning Needs…... Are held in different ways So students may have to be prepared to deal in different ways with their needs - with assistance from members of their learning community, and others

Our learning needs can be like... ………fish, in a fish-ladder

Need = frankly declared Outcome known: proceed directly “Just listen to me, and then help me”

Need = known, but feels awkward Privacy! Let me declare my need unobtrusively

Explore options Need = undefined Help me to find out what my need is!

Need = unperceived Challenge! Be open to feedback, and mismatches

We should be prepared to deal with needs differently declare seek privacy explore listen! - in our self-managed development

Others greatly assist us by offering: frankness suggestions security answers

Do you and your colleagues find any of that helpful, and worth pursuing?

1. Help students to learn as professionals do 2. Only ask students to do what I have found useful 3. Only advocate to colleagues a well-proven approach 4. Learning and teaching depends upon relationships Four guiding principles for me

One very last story (I promise)

What are you taking away? Any new wee ideas?
