Cheering you all from #Brighton at the @beranews.bsky.social #BERA2025 Conference! Thank you for these livestream links!

Thank you very much Dr @rkshanks.bsky.social for your vouch of support! It means a lot!

Hello Ian! This is fascinating! I would be pleased if there are GTCS-registered teachers (who fit my criteria for the study) and are involved in teachmeet to participate in the study. There are useful insights on non-formal teacher professional learning that can be derived from.

Hello! I appreciate your support of my @strath-ioe.bsky.social #PhD #research. I still need more participants. I would be grateful for your help in sharing this with any #activist #teachers in #Scotland whom you know (or if you are one yourself). Thank you.

#activism

Thank you very much @physicsdrew.bsky.social for the support. I will keep you posted.

Celebrating my start of data gathering with a celebratory pint at my favourite skybar here in Glasgow.

Thank you, universe! I still couldn't believe we are here now. Laban lang at tiwala lang talaga. My heart is really full.

There is no 'blanket legal prohibition' on teachers to become activists. However, I acknowledge in my research that activism is contextual, and political activism is just one of the many ways (e.g. civic, pedagogical) teachers profess an activist stance.

Thank you very much for your vouch of support and solidarity Professor @khadijamohammed.bsky.social. Grateful and humbled.

Well-curated playlist!

Postering Ops Day 2

I went to the #UWS Paisley campus. Pleasantly surprised meeting @khadijamohammed.bsky.social, & put my posters at their noticeboards. Grateful for their accommodation.

Chased the sunrise at the @unistrathclyde.bsky.social this morning. Thank you for the 24-hr library access during this examination period.

I'm mentally and physically drained. But I always say, 'laban' ('fight') and never give up!

I'm going home now for a much needed beauty sleep. #Strathlife

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Papal Conclave Watch at
@unistrathclyde.bsky.social
: Habemus Papam!

My fellow #StrathPGR recorded my initial reaction. Hoping that the next Pope continues to humbly serve the poor, marginalised and oppressed sectors including the #LGBTQIA community - and should champion #education!

I am grateful to be in Rome to send off #PopeFrancis. His influence in making #education accessible and inclusive will shine on. Grazie mille to my supervisors @unistrathclyde.bsky.social #StrathEDU & colleagues from @uofglasgow.bsky.social for allowing me to do this pilgrimage.Arrivederci! #PhDlife

Continue to walk with me in faith, Pope Francis.

“Education is not possible without betting on freedom, opening the way to social friendship and the culture of encounter" (Pope Francis)

These are some well-preserved student notebooks from the French countryside that date from the 1870s to 1900s. The exercises and lessons were handwritten by the teachers themselves. Imagine if a teacher has 10 students and all lived near the ecole (school).

Salute and #respect to teachers' work!

My "Not-so-perfect" Methodology chapter ✔️ and sent. Grateful to have reached this moment. But for now, I'll walk outside and relish this feeling of grief for my #Mama. I am glad it is still there to remind me how much she is loved and missed. #ShuttingOff #Reflection #Pause

Sending my solidarity, love and prayers to the people of #Myanmar and #Thailand - two countries which are very close to me and my professional journey. Hoping for your recovery from the recent earthquake.

Here are some pictures @ the Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Yangon in 2012. I hope to visit again.

I was pleasantly surprised that 'Miss Universe' and 'Miss World' were mentioned in a discussion on judging research quality. Wondering if the author could be a pageant fan just as I am.

Energised to have read this new article in the #ScottishEducationalReview which provides critically reflexive views on #professionallearning and #teacheractivism. Grateful to the authors who are mostly from @morayhouse.bsky.social for this piece.

Teaching was too stressful so I left to become a lorry driver Stuart Youens changed careers two years ago and says he's a lot happier in his new job.
