Learning Motivation – designing unmissable experiences

  • Sic itur ad astra (This one goes to the stars)
  • A lightening bolt to engage learners.
  • Emotional learning. Thinking outside the box. Maximising outcomes for students through engagements.
  • Planning for learning experiences, not lesson planning!
  • Exploring an unfamiliar route in a familiar land.
  • Inspirational, box full of chocolates.
  • Grabbing a bull by its horn.
  • Induction is about social bonding. I thought it was about fire exits and canteen location.
  • Capturing learners’ attention in the first instance to keep them interested.
  • Bonkers ideas as starting point to overcome “I can’t”.
  • Feeling inspired for January, thank you!
  • I’ve had a seedling tray of ideas for a long time. After today, I think more staff will accept my seedlings and will allow them to grow.
  • I am also fascinated by taking ‘negatives’ and ‘problems’ and using these as starting points. I feel pleased that my ideas are shared, it’s not just me with these feelings on education.
  • As a new lecturer, this has set me up better than I have expected.
  • Think bonkers and big. Be adventurous.
  • Tell/Test – changing the way we deliver learning sessions.
  • I think your suggestion to include these experience moments at key low points is something, intend to implement.
  • Integrations M & E with the GCSE outcomes in mind. Really good.
  • To remember about students not only having cognitive change but also attitudinal change from entering and leaving the classroom.
  • Carpet metaphor I will question in my own practice – the 5 why’s – great method.
  • More creative hands-on learning – ‘dislocation’.
  • A new outfit to wear for the first day of term.
  • Plan for the dull moments!
  • This is the second time for me and I’ve still come away with something new.

Perfecting Progress Reviews

  • Enlightening.
  • Like moving from A-B with a blindfold that has been removed so we can see the whole journey.
  • The “…” Discussion hit home – create an environmental where the learner can lead the discussion.
  • A reminder to look wider and focus on barrier removal.
  • I have learnt new ways of completing the reviews ensuring learners are taking the lead in the discussions and more autonomous.
  • The session allowed you to reflect on your own progress and how to support the team to have more meaningful reviews.
  • Good insight and allowed you to think further into own practices.
  • I’m a believer.
  • Look at lesson outcomes differently. “Stuff” Vs “making difference” is my takeaway.
  • Planning and preparation.
  • Try to ensure all pre-review work is complete and prepare fully with a focused outlook to help ensure outcomes.
  • Very informative, thank you.
  • Don’t judge a book by its cover.
  • Great session.
  • Learning is a journey.
  • Found the session very useful and positive, Thank you.
  • Learning is a puzzle, each piece a new skill or knowledge.
  • Encourage learners to speak more and take ownership of summarising objectives.
  • Assessors to record a sample of reviews and carry out self reflection using some of the learning from today.
  • Enjoyed.
  • Lifelong learning for all.
  • Really interesting.
  • Being given a balloon and getting lifted up.
  • Enthused.
  • I am looking at reviewing the 14-16 process and will use the students to inform me and develop this further.
  • Thank you, very informative.
  • Student-led tutorials.
  • Adjusting approach.
  • Use different methods as discussed.
  • “Crossed the carpet”.
  • Try to inform change systematically.
