Teaching is a passion for me and I am happy to be an educator. However, I do not have a formal teacher training. I consider myself as toddler in teaching. I would like to gain deep knowledge about teaching styles and techniques which will help me make my teaching more engaging for the learners. Through this programme, I hope to develop into a fully fledged educator.

I hope to build on my reflective skills over the year, and be able to use critical thinking to improve my overall ability as an educator. I hope I am able to improve reflection-in-action with this.

I am a Paediatric Registrar with specialist interest in HDU spin. There is a push in the UK for more DGH to open a HDU to look after single organ support children or LTV children more local to home.

1. This module has already changed and shaped the way that I think of what a good teacher entails and how to create and reflect on teaching moments.

2. I hope to look into other current HDU hospital SOPs and learn from these and what is required to create a good DGH SOP, then I intend to use different methods of teaching, lecture or sim based to increase confidence of newly opened HDUs in DGHs.

i hope to develop on my current skills, having practised a long time i want to be effective in delivering skills to other staff in a meaningful way, for them to have valued sessions. I wish to make a positive impact and develop my skills to be more innovative in the area of teaching others. i want to learn from others through my own learning and enjoy the journey.

I hope that by completing the course I will have a better understand of how adults learn, how to ensure my teaching is inclusive and how to plan and facilitate teaching.

As a practice educator, I have experience in teaching to a large audience but would love to make my teaching more evidence based and ensure we can get the best out of our staff. Additionally, I am hoping to be inspired with different methods of educating staff, not just classroom based learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to gain more confidence in my skills as an educator. I think that having more understanding and knowledge will support with this. I believe that I am able to connect with learners, but I feel that there are ways of presenting that I have become comfortable with and I need to challenge myself

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to build on skills to develop my teaching style and content. This can be based on what I learn in this programme and also come from the experience I will have once I have completed this year. I have not had much experience in lesson planning delivering yet - I look forward to having the space to do this and progress my skills in this area.

I hope to develop applicable teaching skills to make me the best educator I can be. To apply the theory I may learn and the innovative practices to improve structured and unstructured teaching within my role, but more to equip me to support and facilitate learning throughout my career.

I hope to learn and understand different teaching methods, by integrating technological aspects and innovative practices to my current teaching. I would also self- reflect on my teaching sessions and evaluate my teaching and learn from feedbacks as well.

I hope to have a better understanding of the various learning theories and teaching styles. This, I wish, will support staff that I regularly engage with, either in the classroom, by patients bedside or even in the corridor when you are stopped for advise or enquiry . As an educator, impacting knowledge and confidence is paramount to receiving quality care within a care setting. As such having the ability to deliver-well structured session, where participants continue to engage will be a dream!

I hope to understand and enhance my decision making in practice / education. I hope to be able to underpin theory into practice allowing me to adapt my teaching methods / approach to engage learners. I hope to establish well-structured, accessible teaching / session plans that highlight clear and effective learning for all.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope through this program I will develop an understanding of the different theories in educations and be able to apply this to my practice and teaching roles. I hope to establish further techniques to engage learners in education, alongside designing session plans to adapt and draw in different types of learners.

What are your hopes for your development as an educator through this programme?

As an educator, I would like to strengthen my practice based on evidence and how I can incorporate theory into practice. I would like to explore other ways of working and find out what is working with others and be able to share what is working with mine.

Are there specific skills or areas of knowledge you’re particularly keen to build or explore?

I am keen to explore on how to increase engagement across different generations. How to adapt our practices according to the changing times to meet individual learning needs.

Working as a Practice Educator for the last couple of years has meant that I have been heavily involved in teaching (both delivery and facilitation). Through this apprenticeship, I hope to develop my understanding of the theory of clinical education and become more innovative with how I deliver learning. A big challenge I face is motivating and encouraging others to teach (which is a part of their role) - I hope to build the skills to help with this.

I hope to develop new skills in how to share knowledge and information in a way that makes it feel real and relevant to the staff I am educating. There isn't a lot of research into child and adolescent mental health, so it can often feel like I'm sharing adult focused information that we've tried to make relevant to children/adolescents. I hope to be able to learn how to still keep participants engaged in this, as well as how to bring out their own experience for more anecdotal sharing of learning.

Presenting! My confidence in this is low and I hope to be able to identify innovative ways to make presenting more interesting to learners.

# data[].attributes.body
I would also like to be able to amend training plans to suit individual needs. Recently I have had to train a challenging member of staff with mental health issues. I would like to know how to best to support her and ensure she is able to reach her full potential both at work and in her qualifications.

# data[].attributes.body
My hopes are to grow in confidence with what I am teaching. I often have to do presentations and although I know my subject area well, there is still a bit of me that hopes I do not have questions at the end due to anxiety. I hope this course will help to limit those feels and feel confident in what I present.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been in my role for 2 years, and whilst I try to think carefully about designing in-house courses / study days so that there are clear objectives and they are accessible to all attending, I have difficulty in explaining the importance of this or feeding back to other faculty members who may also be helping. Also, I really hope to gain more knowledge in how to ensure my courses and assessments are peer reviewed, fair and well-structured. At the moment, I am "playing by ear" and getting informal advice, looking up guidance myself and generally hoping for the best - but that does not give me confidence that I am doing the best for the staff I am supporting.

Writing is again as it didn't seem to post the first time- hope this works!

To be the best educator I can possibly be, inspire others and develop a tool box to be adaptive in planning sessions as well as in the moment. We have all met educators in our lives who we dreaded being in their sessions because we felt their style didn't match how we learn. I hope this programme will ensure that will not be me!

To be a more rounded educator with various tools in my tool box to be the most effective educator I can be. I want those who come into contact with me in an education capacity to feel that I inspire and support their learning and development. I'm sure in our lives we have all come across an educator who we dreaded their sessions because it did not meet our learning needs. I hope to never be that person and this programme will support me in doing that!

I hope to understand the theory behind my decision making in practice. I enjoy my role as a Practice Educator and feel privileged to work with a large number of people every day. I would like to understand how I can ensure I am providing teaching which is suitable for all. I look forward to reflecting on how I currently plan and facilitate a study day and hope to grow in confidence during this course.

Are there specific skills or areas of knowledge you’re particularly keen to build or explore?

I'm especially interested in understanding how adults learn best, including theories such as andragogy and experiential learning. This will help me improve the way I educate staff, parents, and colleagues—ensuring that my sessions are not only informative but truly engaging and effective.

As a school nurse, education is already a key part of my role, whether I’m teaching students about managing chronic conditions, training staff on emergency procedures, or guiding parents through care plans. Through this programme, I hope to deepen and formalise my skills as an educator to enhance both the quality and confidence of the teaching I provide.

I aim to enhance my educational approaches by gaining a deeper understanding of various teaching methods, allowing me to select the most effective strategy for each task, group, or individual. My goal is to design thoughtful lesson plans that meet specific training needs and to explore the wide range of instructional techniques available to help learners reach their full potential.
