Ghosts of Past, Present, Future students: Who or what is coming?  What do we expect?

In this session I am keen to invite colleagues to reflect on the current studio experiences with students and consider the support they require, and the pedagogy students expect. 

Recognising there is not a general set experience, it is anticipated, at the end of a semester, within a challenging and unsettled year, there will be commonalities across the engagement, insecurities, and questions that we encounter in this moment. 

Working towards understanding together, it is hoped the discussion/s may create spaces to consider challenges and share best practice.  

Also, if time permits, I wish to consider recent changes to Initial Teacher Education (ITE).  

Why?  

I believe serious changes lay ahead; in the long term, if ITE changes, our future students may require a different kind of pedagogy.  

What will that be?  

How can our present thinking and reflections equip imagining for the future?
