Yes, @Bianca_Albers, it has been a very inspiring session by Sue Dopson - lots of food for thought on #leadership and to consider it in my context. It's been fabulous & I'm feeling sad that #EIS2021 live is ending. But the conversations (and recorded videos) continue...
Thank you so much @robynmildon. A very side point: Has anyone ever said that you bear a resemblance to Jodie Foster? #EIS2021 😃
Yes to recognising that we want to reach the same goals - government and other agencies (amidst some other intermittent goals, #methinks😅). Yes to proposing for funding for a longer term! Thank you, @Sandy_Pitcher #EIS2021
"If there's no pushback, there's no change." @davidco75504827 Wow! Another gold nugget. Facing pushbacks? #havenofear #changeiscoming #EIS2021
It's nice to see the speakers in front of the same blue curtain. Doesn't feel that lonely. #EIS2021
"You can't measure what you can prevent. YES YOU CAN! David Cowan #EIS2021 That is just so encouraging to hear. I can imagine how helpful it is being able to do that. I need to find out more.
Please carry on Superintendent. I'm learning so much from the police-y(?) stuff #EIS2021
Reading the tweets for #EIS2021 made me have a huge sense of #FOMO. But thankfully, I can view the recordings later!
@RuthLevine5 #EIS2021. On co-creation & building #trust, how might we engage researchers who distrust policymakers for symbolically using research, or worried the relationship with politicians might caused them to be/seen to be biased or restricted in how findings are presented?
@AdamMGrant's really talking about performance cultures, while this is about research settings. May make a difference. But it just makes me rethink, especially when RCTs isn't always possible. Or maybe my antenna just went up when the term 'best practices' came up. #EIS2021
#reflections. Gonna say this at the risk of being frown upon: what if RCTs isn't the best practice for the research we're doing and for whomever? Again affected by @AdamMGrant's Think Again - rather than saying best practices, how about calling them better practices #EIS2021
I think it's vital to remember that we do not just do our research, share the data (bad news sometimes) and leave those who are affected to shape up. Or even just to share the solutions... But really to walk it through with them & show that we're invested too. #trust #EIS2021
The lovely baby problem. This sounds too cute to be a problem really😅@MaryDixonWoods #EIS2021 But good to realise that not all baby problems are lovely. Reminds me of what I've been challenged by in Adam Grant's Think Again - escalation of committment
@annetteboaz spoke about discussing knowledge mobilisation skills set at a knowledge mobilisation forum - Could I find out more? Could I take part? #EIS2021
Gold nuggets for knowledge brokers @ #EIS2021:
Relationships, Environment, Solutions/Stop & Timely! Thank you, @BeckyFrancis7
I suppose Environment can also speak for a relook & rethink into the academic setting whether we are encouraging of brokering/partnership @AnnetteBoaz
My eyes are about to pop out... Will I be able to survive till the end of today? #eis2021
Brings me to the Local Evidence Syntheses (LES) https://bit.ly/3cBGNkV that colleagues at the @OER_NIE Office of Education Research, National Institute of Education do in the effort to engage policymakers and educators in Singapore #eis2021
Panel 11 #eis2021 - very encouraged to hear UNICEF's work in building an evidence culture and in collating evidence synthesis that @AlbrightKerry and colleague, Mr Bakrania shared. Lots to learn from!
Thank you, @robynmildon! I really enjoyed the humour though you can't hear me laugh. :) #eis2021 has been so exciting that I'm tempted to just keep going till 1115pm... Now, let me get another cup of coffee!
#eis2021 Again and again I hear having strong partnerships and relationships with community and stakeholders as we seek to have evidence-informed policy and practice. Absolutely underrated advice.
This is so cool! To know that there's a Research for Impact think-tank in Singapore! Beauty of #eis2021 And looking forward to the new Behavioral and Implementation Science Centre at NUS!
I can so imagine how this is the same for schools and education! #eis2021 (also, it is very hard to get a flattering picture of our speaker. Sorry @Rsbeidas)
Glass full vs glass empty view. Reminds me of the starfish story - can't save all but I save this one. #eis2021 Numbers really only tell one side of the story. Would love to hear from the children/families!
Very excited to participate in my first #eis2021 with 750 other delegates from 30 countries!
