  • THE LIVED EXPERIENCE AND WHY IT MATTERS – AN INTRODUCTION
    Apr 14 2023

    This episode is an introduction to what makes up your lived experience.

    • I discuss our experiences as a learner and how these are relevant to our training and role as educators.  


    • With reference to Vygotsky's theories of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and the More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) and I put forward my opinion that teaching and learning are reciprocal and take place simultaneously throughout life - not just in childhood and adolescence.


    • I focus on how the beliefs about teaching and learning which you experience in your place of work impact greatly on your wellbeing and confidence and identify the importance of having a setting which is a 'safe' place for you to learn and develop.


    • I invite you to reflect on your experiences of  training & CPD and to what extent they present knowledge, concepts and skills and highlight the need for a pathway to implementation so that you can put all training/CPD into practice.


    • Finally I offer you my  theory of ‘Enablement’ as the key to effective training & CPD and practitioner support.

     
    After our discussion, I give prompts for next steps in relation to your self concept as a learner and educator and the culture of training and development in your setting, especially in terms of reviewing this year and planning ahead for the academic year 2023 - 24.

    Finally I suggest ways that I can support you:

  • Teaching & Learning: My Lived Experience Approach
    Apr 12 2023

    This is a brief introduction to my forthcoming podcast to be released weekly.

    Check out my free Community Network at:  https://teachabout.community/

    I'm Lorraine Smith and I help educators and settings to cope with the challenges of  working in education today.

    I identify 3 key sources of stress and challenge:
    Evidencing the professional standards - e.g.  teachers' standards
    Developing time-efficient and effective lesson planning and 
    CPD and training which delivers information overwhelm without a clear pathway to implementation and the identification of practical and 'doable' next steps.

    As a specialist in teacher training, SENCo support and leadership of SEND as well as an expert in the deployment of TAs and change management I invite you to join me weekly for discussion, insight and support.

    Launching this week!
