Please do add yours to the page too. Sharing is caring and we know how much pressure and tough the #PhD journey is to get to the final viva. 💓💓💓

When I was preparing for my PhD viva, I decided to create a Pdlet page with resources that I found useful for preparing for viva. Many of my colleagues are at the stage of preparing for their viva so I’m sharing the Padlet resources again: lnkd.in/eJDvjpMj

Key milestones that made my educator's heart sing: 🎶👇🏼

As Quality Enhancement Manager in #FE, I discovered that true educational magic happens when we see each other as whole humans, not just roles or metrics. Whether mentoring early career teachers, co-authoring our new guide, or expanding research conversations, every moment was about connection.👇🏼

2024: The Year Learning Became More Than a Process - It Became a Living, Breathing Journey

This year taught me that quality in education isn't just about systems and clipboards—it's about creating magical and creative spaces where teachers and learners breathe, grow, and transform together. 👇🏼

🌟 2024 has been a year of growth, struggle, joy, fear, perseverance, collaboration, love and many more. Life is like a river - it flows, it dries up, it floods and it ripples. I tried #CoauthorStudio to see what the year of 2024 has been and here is a brief summary, with my adaptation in threads👇🏼
