Blackburn with Darwin Adult Learning

21st Century Pedagogy

  • Mind is a whirlpool of fresh thoughts and ideas which need time to impact!
  • An escalator experience. Really enjoyed it and found it developmental.

Supercharged Evaluation Skills

  • Stoking the furnace.
  • Mindboggling – was a challenge at first, but through scaffolding I understood concepts.
  • A stepping stone path leading into a new forest of discovery.
  • I found this session insightful as it gave me the tools to help enable my learners to carefully evaluate their work and that of others.
  • Intuitive.
  • Fantastic lecturer with a great sense of knowledge and understanding. His approach was very professional.

Transformational Lesson Observation

  • It was good to be challenged on both outlook/attitude and language we use.
  • Feel more confident to evaluate impact and feedback to a tutor in a way which promotes tutors to consider and improve impact.
  • Liked the learning momentum graph.
  • This was very exciting to be involved in – I hope we take this on because it focusses on impact – not ‘judging’ tutors’ performance.
  • [I will] Encourage teachers to focus on how their sessions make a difference to the learners and not how many boxes they’ve ticked.
  • Loved the obs of the lessons – allowed us to practise.
  • As inquisitive as a… cat – meerkat.
  • Has given me a different perspective. My approach would be more collaborative and learner-centred, not about ‘stuff’.
  • Lots to think about – food for thought. Some excellent examples of terminology to use.
  • Challenging the mindset of OTLA.
  • Fast-pace, but informative – thought provoking!
  • A shift in focus was good. More emphasis on the learner and the impact on the learner.
  • It was interesting to see the impact of using different vocabulary.
  • Unmissable!

Tricked out Tutorials

  • I like the idea of helping learners to fly.
  • I found the video clip most useful.
  • More clarity with learners on what change they want to see by the end of the course/session.
  • Take time to discuss progress on all courses.
  • I will alter objectives to show the journey across the carpet.
  • Work out strategies/practices to achieve what I want to achieve by encouraging the learner to talk.
  • Make learners more curious.
  • Using open questions in reviews and letting learners identify what they need to do in their learning.
