A6 #LTHEChat sticking to the now what question is always useful. Things change rapidly in HE so we need to give ourselves space to experiment and reflect

A4 #LTHEChat I think long term autobiographical reflection- where small changes or approaches over time show impact and an underlying pedagogy. Everything else feels useful to show others but I'm not sure it really convinces me of my own impact
A3 #LTHEChat I like Rolfe- what, so what, now what for simplicity. If I'm writing examples, I like CARR- context, action, result, reflection. Gibbs is useful when starting with reflection but quite long otherwise
A2 #LTHEChat probably a mix- depends on the context and some are easier than others- but I do know nothing offers me insight into the student perspective like signing myself up for a qualification 😅
A1 #LTHEChat mostly impact not captured by metrics, but even with data, for long-term preservation of data like student feedback- if you don't keep it you lose it especially with job changes but how to retain data while abiding by gdpr?
Fabulous photo Margaret Skinnider (front middle)and Nora Connolly (front right) in New York in 1917, when they were on the Republican women’s tour. Would love to know who the 3rd woman is - just putting it out there into the universe more in hope than expectation of a name!

Shameful stuff from these “protestors”. Consider donating to msoe.ie/donate/ to show your support and to help feed the homeless in Dublin
A4 #LTHEChat first make time for it- for example, by addressing staff workloading, improving staff student ratios etc. Then support staff to highlight the impact of their t&l practice via sotl research
A3 #LTHEChat I think open and honest communication when things go wrong, whether that's about finances, inclusive organisational culture, or global challenges
A2 #LTHEChat inclusive leadership, putting policy into place that really cares about staff and students, and/or is transparent about barriers to change. Town halls can be a good start
A1 #LTHEChat a community which feels supported and believes they are making a difference

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.

As part of my PhD I'm conducting a study looking at students' views of postgraduate research. The survey is open to current students in the UK (first degree and postgraduates). It's anonymous and should take no more than 10 mins!

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
