Recent experience of facilitating, including any specific techniques or approaches worked with:
As Director of a Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching [CLIP - Creative Learning in Practice], I have tried to make learning from projects with staff, participatory, rather than didactic learning experiences. We have ‘conversations’ where project leaders have chatted about their findings and the facilitator’s role is to keep the conversation going. Workshops to support colleagues in presenting to their peers have also been important, to help shape ideas into interactive events, where multiple voices have had an opportunity to speak. I continue to learn from others about constructing and running such events.
Experience of supporting or working with the relationship between creative practice and teaching.
I have recently completed a doctoral study investigating the way that creative practitioners experience the relationship between practice and teaching and how variation in the experience might be constructed. The study also looks at the potential impact that these different relationships might have on the student learning experience. Further information can be found at:
