Session 50: School of Education Little Book of Hope

Abstract

This presentation presents a curriculum enhancement project which aimed to illuminate what students found difficult and how they overcame their challenges. By sharing and providing examples of what helped it is hoped that this will equip our students with positive strategies for ‘when the going gets tough’. In this way, instead of simply telling students to ‘be more resilient’ or encouraging them to ‘just keep going’ we can illuminate and share real-life, tangible examples of what students who have come before did.

Our presentation is Student-Centric Focused: enhancing their experience, and promoting a stronger sense of LJMU community. It shows Excellence in Teaching and Learning contributing to a culture of continuous improvement. Diversity and Inclusion: Our research captures a diverse range of student experiences, contributing to a more inclusive LJMU community. Enhancing Resilience and Well-being: directly supports LJMU's commitment to nurturing resilient and well-equipped graduates, fostering community resilience through shared experiences and strategies.

Furthermore, our presentation offers our LJMU colleagues practical insights for curriculum enhancement through Informed Decision-Making: (student challenges and effective strategies for overcoming them). LJMU staff can use this information to make more informed decisions about curriculum design, student support services. Curriculum Improvement: LJMU staff can use this information to refine and adapt the curriculum, ensuring it remains responsive to the evolving needs of students. Promoting a Positive Learning Environment: Strategies shared in the presentation can be incorporated into teaching practices.

In summary, this presentation is a valuable resource for LJMU staff and students, providing actionable insights, fostering a culture of resilience and innovation.
