Thanks to Di-Verse

Thank you very much for sharing a part of your story. What I love the most about the presentation is the clear focus on the human and humane aspects and the central idea that human life-worlds are diverse and we inhabit the world in different ways...and maybe it leaves me with the question of how we might best work with/alongside this important central aspect of our vocation?

Musings on 'stucture'

I am fascinated by this idea of structure and what it means to be a “structured” teacher? I guess, for me the question is around the visibility or in-visibility of the structure. Clearly sometimes it is difficult to physically structure the environment and procedures - although those are crucial to manage. My question is about the transfer of the “invisible” structure. Mmm What do I mean? I think, listening to David in particular I became aware of the “inside-out-ness” of the structure How, what and the intentionality of what I project when I teach.

How deliberately am I pushing/pulling  - inviting them into particular “learning space” of I (reflective) we (dyadic) or us (didactic or dialogical - plenary)  How much of this can realistically be pre-planned or scripted and how?

No answers just questions  - but maybe what stood out was some key words – respect/ empathy/ stricture and how to convey/communicate or facilitate it?
