There are two items left on my to do list before I go on annual leave tomorrow at 5pm. It's doable. I can see the horizon. Last stretch! 🏖️🩴🌴

Today was our inaugural Level 2 Psychology Lab Development Day. As a team we generated ideas on how to improve teaching in the next academic year. I cannot be prouder of this engaged teaching team (and yes, we have a Level 2 Psychology cat mascot, Parzivel).

Last year I was on the verge of burning out. This year I delivered a plenary at the IATEFL conference. The moment I stepped on that stage I knew this was special, this was what I love doing: communicate the science of learning to a large audience. The article captures my academic identity very well.

Service learning: Applying knowledge through community service My academic identity revolves around applying research-informed learning strategies from Cognitive Psychology to authentic educational contexts and disseminating this knowledge to a broader audience through science communication and outreach activities. A continuation of this work is to enable students to apply what they have learned at university to address problems in the community. The following case study outlines Service Learning as a teaching concept. Service Learning is a teaching approach by which knowledge obtained in the classroom is made available to a cooperation partner in the community to solve a prevailing need. In my case, university students acquire knowledge of effective learning strategies and then design and deliver research-informed ‘How-To-Study’ tutorials to pupils in local schools. Since I started teaching Service Learning in 2008, I have collaborated with 15 schools (9 schools in and around Glasgow, 4 schools in and around Dundee, and 2 schools in Mannheim, Germany) from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. My commitment to support students to meaningfully apply knowledge through community service has been commended by the BPS accreditation review committee (2019, University of Dundee) as ‘extraordinary practice that stands out on a national and international level’. I was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award by the School of Social Sciences for it, and it was recognised as a case study for my successful SFHEA AdvanceHE application in the same year.

New article published: "Service Learning: Applying Knowledge Through Community Service". An overview of my Service Learning module where students learn about effective learning strategies and deliver 'How To Study' tutorials to pupils in local schools in Glasgow.

Twenty exam scripts (up to 1500 words each) is the max I can mark in a day and so I'm pleased that for the next two days the load will be 15 scripts/day to get marking done by the deadline on Monday. Almost there!

A tablet showing a notes sheet with 83 squared tick boxes. 10 tick boxes per row. The first row of 10 is ticked off as well as the final row with 3 tick boxes.

Marking season is on! Let's do this! Accountability helps: Today's goal is 20 exam scripts!

Tagging @emilynordmann.bsky.social and Judith Jackson who are marking the same exam at the moment. Let's go!

Very excited about the plenary by @danielxerri.bsky.social on how to bridge researchers & teachers to encourage teachers to conduct research themselves in the classroom. How can teachers play a more active role in knowledge construction in a research field?
