@santanuvasant @LTHEchat Absolutely, it can also enable learners to rehearse empathy for others, which they can then take to other situations and places #LTHEChat

@LTHEchat A6 It might open up new ways of expressing emotions in, of and as learning for learners, which would connect them more than other pedagogical approaches, maybe?! #LTHEChat

Q6: How might poetry make your classroom a more empathic place for everyone?  Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response

@RichBale @LTHEchat A much more meaningful way to connect with the feelings of other people #LTHEChat

@santanuvasant @LTHEchat Agree, it can help us know and engage with ourselves in new ways, which often lead to growth #LTHEChat

@LTHEchat A5 The creative use of words in a poetic approach such as Haiku, can shift our thinking and get us reflecting in a different way. It’s another reflective tool. #LTHEChat

Q5 How can poetry help us explore who we are as educators? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response

@samillingworth @LTHEchat It can expose our vulnerabilities for sure Sam #LTHEChat

@LTHEchat A4 It can also help us to know ourselves better as educators, which has an effect #LTHEChat

Q4 How can we evaluate the effects of poetry in our educational practice? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response

@santanuvasant @LTHEchat Like lots of things, the value of it is only clear after the event #LTHEChat

@LTHEchat A3 Finding a creative way to make it fit with the session outcomes and getting students to value it as time well spent. #LTHEChat

Q3 What are the challenges to using poetry in your practice?  Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

@suebecks @LTHEchat A3 It can feel risky to put ourselves 'out there'... #LTHEChat

@LTHEchat A3 I think just like being asked to draw, an initial reaction can be "I can't do that" #LTHEchat

@LTHEchat A1: So many! Love it when it feels like the poet knows what I am thinking #LTHEChat

Q1 Do you have a favourite poem? Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response

Honoured to have my contribution to @PhiMuChapter recognised by a biennium award. Thank you @lwestcott1 @Leslie_Gelling

@wesstreeting No point educating more nurses if they leave due to poor pay and conditions. Please talk about how you will RETAIN the staff you have and support the newly qualified nurses who leave quickly to work elsewhere

Infuriating amounts of taxpayers’ money paid to agencies because the Tories failed to train enough staff. Money that could have gone on cutting waiting times. Labour will tackle this problem at root, training the doctors & nurses the NHS needs. bbc.co.uk/news/health-63…
