Hello everyone!

We warmly invite you to join the fourth LD get-together of 2022 on Sunday 24th April 14:30-17:00. All members are welcome to join and share their experiences.

Friends and Support
There will be plenty of opportunities to catch up with other SIG members. You can discuss your own learner development interests and practices in a relaxed and supportive environment. If you have concerns about the upcoming school year, don’t worry! We are sympathetic colleagues who are here to listen and help.

Finding Topics for Reading Groups
For the next meeting on April 24th, we wondered whether we could help make our LD interests more concrete for ourselves and others if we prepared to do the following:
1.Share stories about students who have influenced us in some way (‘single case models’) and the stories students have told about themselves that have triggered our own development;
2.Share student work to illustrate the ways in which we have been affected and how this connects to our teaching practice;
3.Share examples of our own teaching materials which again exemplify our teaching approaches and attempts to facilitate LD;
4.And, arising from 1-3, share our questions, puzzles, and knots regarding our future practice as we implement LD.
We have created a Google Doc where we have each written down our individual interests and reflections. See:

On April 24th, we hope to continue talking about ways to form groups around these topics or others that emerge. Please come and join us and add your ideas to the discussion.
