This is disappointing but not unexpected. Post 24 adult education is continually sidelined.

A bog in heather moorland with Sheffield in the distance

Finished the week with some teaching prep for #FoundationYear geography. Thinking about how to teach rivers, but more importantly how to help students gain confidence and joy in exploring and reading #Sheffield 's fantastic landscapes

Back to reality and work today after a lovely week in Scotland, seeing old friends and places, and my mind is still a bit blown from the 'new' #rockart, badly photographed below at Dunchraigaig in the Kilmartin Glen

A cat, who did nothing to help with clearing yesterday also providing life assistance today.

One of the team is having a chill day in the home office after #Clearing yesterday. We're now closed to new applicants but looking forward to interviewing candidates for @sheffielduni.bsky.social #LifelongLearning foundation years next week.

Always good to see what a South West Sheffield man describes as a 'ride-ette'!

It's going to be great for student learning, but I'm feeling ancient now that 2015 is a layer on Historic Digimap

Enjoy! I'm in Greece so can't make it, but looking forward to more of these next year!

Definitely- I'll drop you a line next week (and please chase me if I forget!)

Really enjoyed your paper! I've used Appreciative Inquiry for curriculum design a loooong time ago and had forgotten how fab it is, you've inspired me to have another go!

Lizzy and Lynsey have also done an amazing talk at #FYNAC25 around AI positive assessment, and how we've integrated this into our Foundation Year programme

Lovely to see Jacqui and Valeria from talking about how the team has worked to make Maths relevant for all our #FoundationYear students #FYNAC25

Excellent first day at the Foundation Year Network Annual Conference talking all things foundation years in Higher Education
@foundationyearnet.bsky.social

Phrase of the day for #FYNAC25 "Panic pedagogy" (with reference to AI and assessments)

Good to hear @dkernohan.bsky.social and Lord Willetts recognising the role that #FoundationYears can play in the future particularly for mature students in coming years! #FYNAC25

Getting ready for @foundationyearnet.bsky.social #FYNAC25 this week. I'll be speaking about how we've revised our science assessments to engage with AI, whilst growing our cohort. Basically it takes a village to redesign a programme! currently 22 acknowledgements on the slide.

Fabulous Sunday afternoon helping out the incredible young musicians of Sheffield Music Hub in Weston Park. My first time in a band stand in 30 years of tuba playing!

An opening slide for my Foundation Year Network Annual Conference presentation

This is not like me. I've drafted my #FYNAC25 slides over a week before the deadline! So far got 22 people in the acknowledgements section which shows that doing cool stuff in UK HE right now is a massive team effort, especially if you want to stay sane(ish) whilst doing it.

Came back to work to GOOD news, that incredible colleagues across the #FoundationYear sector have collaborated to pass a motion @ucu.org.uk congress to recognise the importance of high quality Foundation Year provision.

ABERDEEN!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #COYR #ScottishCupFinal

Hi, can I ask, does that mean that the motion on Foundation Years wasn't heard?

Interested in returning to education to study pharmacy, nursing, speech and language therapy or orthoptics as a mature student?

Thank you!

I've been on an intense #TheArchers catch up and have questions 1. Has Pip got a new voice? and 2. Is Laurence (from the cricket team) Larry Lovell, Lynda's old dramatic rival?

Had a first cycle along the trial Northumberland Road cycle lane today. It's great! Thanks @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social @benmiskell.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social ! Can it stay forever? I really appreciate how much safer it is both as a cyclist and a pedestrian.
