Transitions and aspirations
Well the final assignment has been submitted. The MA is concluded and I’ll find out in the coming weeks as to whether I’ve successfully completed it. Fingers crossed. In the meantime things don’t stop there… I’m continuing with my ‘practitioner learning’ through the PgCLTHE which starts up again at the end of the week. It will have been three and a half years non stop study by the end of the module – I’ll be grateful of the break at the end of it, even if it occurs in term-time. It’s been a great experience on MAODE and I’m looking forward to continuing with bigger things now – I want to get some work peer reviewed and published, and there is no shortage of irons in the fire for that to happen. It’s now really important to me that I get recognition in the community for the sheer range of developments and work I have been involved with in the last couple of years ranging from teacher education, practitioner research right through to open educational resources and creative arts change projects. I also want to extend the research I’ve done in the final module for my Masters here where I investigated the way that the realtionship between theory and practice was experienced through assessment on a postgraduate teacher training programme. I think its a really good starting point, and I’ve got a substantial framework on which to build some useful and valid work around. Of course, all this means that this blog is changing too. It will no longer be ‘study blog’ (in name at least!) but is being rebranded with a new epithet…
