Paul McLaughlin from @EdinburghUni on 'Using @PebblePad for authentic assessment in ways that may not have been envisaged' 📚 #PebbleBash #AuthenticAssessment

Presented my research today on resistance to advocacy towards reflective practice with science students at @SBSatEd at the @PebblePad bash 2024. Made me reflect on how my own achievements of being in the role 2 years! #reflection

The first parallel sessions have kicked off 🙌 Alison Cullinane from @EdinburghUni' s session is on 'The Scientist and reflection: The paradigm shift necessary for embedding reflective practice.' #PebbleBash

The student panel today at @PebblePad bash was so inspiring. It makes it clear why we work so hard for our students on their learning journeys! 💗

Evidence that co-creating #rubrics enhanced #peerfeedback processes: makes sense, methinks

For two years I have been designing reflective portfolios for Biology students. It's amazing, but daunting to create something that would support the development of all students (approx 750 a year). The following blog presents lessons learned from that process....

Ever thought about using reflective portfolios in your curriculum? @AlisonCullinan2 (School of Biological Sciences) explains how she planned, designed and assesses reflective portfolio in Yrs 1 & 2 Biology undergrad: https://t.co/6f69Fg6GGv #teachingmatters

😀Delighted to host this session with @GMooneySimmie and @laoneill111 as they discuss how science works and the role and contribution of science and scientists to society with our Science Ed students @SchoolOfEd_UL @EHSFacultyAtUL

My advice for finding your niche and building a #career, now including v important point of also looking after yourself while aiming for your dream job #mentalhealth #selfcare #careeradvice #ecrchat

Attending my first #Biosummit2023 at @LivUni and looking forward to meeting colleagues from across the Biosciences over the next 2 days discussing pedagogical research on #Equality #Diversity #inclusion & #Sustainability

Just finished Why we Teach Science (and Why we Should) by @JLRudolph . A brilliant book, providing a clear argument about why we need to reconceptualize science teaching in schools. This is a must-read for any science teacher and science educator!

#ESERA2023 starts in 9 days! ✈️✈️ This year I have a paper presentation (co-authors @AlisonCullinan2 @MesciGunkut @AlamehSahar and Haira Gandolfi) and a symposium on disaster/risk and science education (with @b_heuckmann @yeonjooko1 and other colleagues). @ESERA_org @esera2023

💡 Speaker Videos Released 📹 If you weren't able to make this year's #MiniBash2023 you can now catch up on all the great speaker sessions! Here's a short snippet of Professor @JonPowles, @UniWestScotland on making assessment meaningful🌟 🎬👉 https://t.co/Q3a6klctCO

Going back in time to Norham Gardens in 1959 🔙🌳#ThrowbackThursday

Today I spoke to Princess Anne at the opening of the Nucleus, about the innovative new curricula in our 1st & 2nd yr @SBSatEd and how the career services have helped us. An amazing opportunity. Photos to follow.

Thanks @AlisonCullinan2 from @EdinburghUni for todays session on using personalised portfolios to support lifelong learning and skills development with first year biological science students 🎉 @AbertayUni #EFYE2023 @EFYE2023
