📚Have you ever thought about how your college degree has influenced your life? As a GenX member with a B.A. in Contemporary European History and a short foray in Child Psychology from my graduate studies, I've woven my higher educational experience into every professional role. From debating the historical significance of a world event to highlighting the critical need for adopting particular legal technology skills, persuasion has been a constant. My college days were a challenging balancing act between all-night study sessions, dance till dawn rave parties, and full-time work and academics; all fueled by caffeine and ephedrine. But they were also incredibly rewarding experiences. The lessons I learned about self-reliance, communication, time management, and the special skills of patience and compromise by living with total strangers have served me well in both my personal and professional life. The varied subjects I explored at university—sociology, statistics, philosophy, and public speaking—didn’t just broaden my horizons; they’ve made me a more empathetic work colleague, life partner, and parent. Now, I'm diving into online courses to further my personal and professional growth. Onward and upward! 🚀 #Reflection #PersonalDevelopment #Education

Senior Learner Developer at Birmingham City University | SFHEA | Learner Psychology | Motivational Psychology | Student Engagement | Student Transition
Recently, I’ve been reading about positive psychology and how it could play a role in student engagement and wellbeing - I came across this by Martin Seligman, “Optimism generates hope, hope releases dreams, dreams set goals, enthusiasm follows.” It got me thinking about students’ transition into #HE - are they optimistic about their future studies? Are their dreams leading to creating goals? Or are they just going through the motions? What could institutions do to encourage new students to dream big, aim high and be hopeful, optimistic, and enthusiastic for the future? #positivepsychology #studentwellbeing #studentengagement #positivity

Early Years Development Lead|Early Years Educator|Early Years Confidence and Self-Esteem Coach for Schools and Corporate Businesses
“Play is the highest form of research." Frederick Froebel In the great outdoors, every leaf, every rock and every creature holds a treasure trove of knowledge waiting to be discovered. Frederick Froebel’s theories and outlook of nature has always inspired me. So much so, it was the exact reason why I studied my Masters of Education based upon his philosophies. Nature creates curiosity and fuels the fire for life long learning. It encourages children to touch, smell, and observe the world around them. Parenting outside really helps parents to help their children regulate their emotions and their emotional and social development. I don’t know about you but I definitely feel my daughter is calmer, relaxed and inspired when she is learning and playing outside. What learning and development can you see in this picture? - Natural curiosity stimulated by a nurturing enviroment - Confidence building (feeling a sense of accomplishment) - Communication and Language (retelling the story of Room on the Broom) - Fine motor skills (grabbing handfuls of soil and creating a potion using the stick) - Mathematical development (learning to count and identify colours) - Opportunities for adults to model positive play and specific praise - Physical development (running to collect items for the potion and nest) -Understanding the World (developing curiosity about natural objects) Why not have a go this weekend at going outside and following the interest of your child? Honestly, the interactions you will experience will be stronger. Nature is a massive playground waiting to be explored in!!! #childdevelopment #earlyyearsconsultant #educationalconsultant #naturechild

Personality vs Talent & Skills in Early Years Education First: Importance of Personality Development 1. Emotional and Social Well-being: - Educationists like #DrMariaMontessori emphasises the importance of fostering emotional and social skills in early childhood, as these lay the foundation for future learning and personal growth. #EmotionalIntelligence #SocialSkills 2. Resilience and Confidence: - #CarolDweck’s work on the growth mindset highlights the importance of developing resilience and confidence in young children, which helps them navigate challenges throughout their educational journey. #GrowthMindset #Resilience 3. Moral and Ethical Foundation: - According to #JeanPiaget, early childhood is a crucial period for moral development, which is essential for forming a strong ethical foundation. #MoralDevelopment #EthicalFoundation Second: Importance of Talent & Skills Development 1. Academic Foundation: - #LevVygotsky stresses the significance of scaffolding in early years to build basic literacy and numeracy skills, which are essential for academic success. #EarlyLiteracy #NumeracySkills 2. Cognitive Development: - #HowardGardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that nurturing specific talents can enhance a child's cognitive development and broaden their learning experiences. #MultipleIntelligences #CognitiveGrowth 3. Creativity and Critical Thinking: - #SirKenRobinson advocates for the nurturing of creativity and critical thinking from a young age, arguing that these skills are vital for innovation and problem-solving in later life. #Creativity #CriticalThinking Although both personality and talent & skills development are crucial, educationists often argue that a strong personality foundation can enhance a child's ability to acquire and utilise talents and skills effectively. A balanced approach, where character building supports skill acquisition, is considered ideal in early years education. #EarlyYearsEducation #BalancedDevelopment #PersonalityVsSkills
