We can become so involved in our own personal situations we are unaware of those around us. This was highlighted throughout this workshop. We started by being seated at 4 different tables with 8 peers. The […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Values Workshop Reflection
The first values workshop provided a very thought-provoking experience with the core focus surrounding structural inequalities. Unaware of this, we participated in a very cunning practice which unknowingly allowed us to experience these inequalities first-hand. Upon arrival the class was split evenly into 4 groups of approximately 8. Within these groups we were presented with […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Reflecting Upon Resources
In schools children come from all different backgrounds and circumstances and in this became very real to me during the task. Every group being given different resources wasn’t immediately noticeable to me but after presenting our ideas, for something to make for a first year student, I realised that my group had a lot less […] Continue reading

The group I was part of had the most resources and encouragement from the tutor, making me totally oblivious […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Professional Values Workshop
On Tuesday, I got to experience myself just how much of an impact a child’s background has on their ability to do well in school. I have read many articles on closing the attainment gap and how children from deprived areas are not as likely to be successful in school, I know that this is […] Continue reading

Comments Off on four envelopes… one lesson.
Within our first values workshop, we were divided up into four equal groups. Each group was then handed out the same looking envelope, but what was unknown to us at the time was that each same looking envelope had different contents…… but why? The task was to create something that would be handy for a …
