I just became a critical ally for our ocean by signing up to become a Sea Shepherd Direct Action Crew member. My tax-deductible monthly donation will help defend, conserve and protect our ocean from illegal exploitation and environmental destruction! ⚓🙌 https://t.co/lTH4gB52dB
Teaching Quality & Impact teachers, leaders, evaluators & WSU researchers presented in 5 sessions at the Australian Association for Research in Education Conference. Topics included HSC Strategy, Writing in Secondary & Evaluative Practice. Outstanding work shared nationally.
Making space for change should allow voices to rise from all spaces in the system and focus on valuing community ownership and consultation as a side-by-side process #aes22ADL
Maturity as evaluators is supportive of developing others and guide evaluation that is driven by purpose. Be curious, listen carefully, stay connected and keep focused on your soul. Starting day 3 of #aes22ADL with bucketloads of inspiration from @amyg4ce
Talking frenzied piranhas and the loop of reactive data collection when evaluation is driven by anxiety. Lots of thoughtful visuals by @amyg4ce and awesome reflections on being evaluators. Who knew we needed more stick figures at #aes22ADL ?
Still processing the rich conversations from #aes22ADL. Here were a few of my favourite slides from yesterday’s session on First Nations Data Sovereignty with @Corriethinks @skyetrudgett Jessie Sleep and @darrenclinch.
‘Being reflexive is recognising the need for intercultural knowledge generation’ Weaving is complex and programs need to be flexible and responsive to value. Ruth Nicholls and Anne Fordham on intercultural knowledge generation
Using outcome hierarchies to support programs to understand their place in the big picture and plan for evaluation in large departments presented by the team working at NSW DPE at #aes22ADL. Very practical planning for teams with limited evaluation capability in government
Some exceptional voices from Aboriginal community-led evaluations using Impact Yarns with an all-women panel chaired by @skyetrudgett. Hearing about communities being in the driver seat of story telling, creating new stories and reconnecting to culture #AES22ADL
Using CMOs as sense-making tools to balance #realist theory, data collection and evaluation capacity building. Great approach used by our VIC counterparts in Education lead by @esckerdo. So much to unpack here for our work #AES2022ADL
Kathryn Dinh provides a thought-provoking set of questions to reflect on as evaluators. Culturally responsive evaluation can only happen through commitment to self reflection on values and methods #AES22ADL
New #JNeurosci work from @DMCBrainHealth@UBCPsych shows that the dorsal, prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex aids in both active avoidance of aversive events & withholding of responses to obtain rewards.
Mechanisms underlying avoidance & reward-seeking: https://t.co/652oxeJAQH
Very excited to have my research with the amazing @dr_stan published in my first JNeuro paper 🧠🎉The thread he put together is pretty great too, he’s clearly GIFted!
🚨GIF THREAD ALERT Submitted for your approval, I’m elated to present our latest with @GiuliaCapuzzo_ examining how Prelimbic and Infralimbic Prefrontal Regulate Active and Inhibitory Avoidance and Reward-Seeking https://t.co/bfwYO0g5OI @JNeuroscience
