Yesterday was a good day for learning from The Human Diver instructor team, myself included. Each month, we run an online staff education session where we deliver #interpersonalskillslab training to each other to make sure we are competent in what we do and remember what it is like to be a student - be humble! This can be fun for timings when you've got instructors as far apart as Vancouver Island, CA and Newcastle, AUS!! Unfortunately, Michael Mason normally gets the short straw for timings! Yesterday was good because it showed what happens when you have a team who can achieve above-average outcomes when they are in a familiar context but then struggle when things are different and they encounter the unexpected. They weren't 'bad'; they just had many more failures than the first time through the mission! The post-mission debriefs highlighted our reliance on existing mental models and assumptions about how we execute tasks and what happens when we are lulled into a false sense of security when nothing changes until it does!! Success in the past is no guarantee of success in the future in a complex system. The InterLAB tool has applications across multiple domains because it is about the behaviours and interactions that occur when operating as part of a team in an uncertain and dynamic environment, an environment that sometimes requires workarounds and adaptations to deal with conflicting goals that are faced. Just like real life, in fact! This is InterLAB >> https://lnkd.in/ekskr3S5 #notjustdiving Guy Shockey Jenny Lord Chris Tibble Bart den Ouden Beatrice Rivoira Darryl Owen Alexander Stork #nontechnicalskills #psychologicalsafety #leadership #teamwork

Post #1 Embarking on the journey to crack the UPSC civil services examination is akin to setting sail in uncharted waters. The path is riddled with challenges, uncertainties, and intense competition. In such a scenario, mentorship emerges as a beacon of guidance, support, and wisdom, illuminating the way for aspirants striving to achieve their dreams of serving the nation. The role of mentorship in UPSC preparation cannot be overstated. Here are 4 major ways in which a mentor helps students in their journeys: Personalized Guidance: Mentors offer tailored guidance based on aspirants' strengths, weaknesses, and goals, helping them devise effective study plans. Holistic Perspective: Mentors provide insights beyond academics, emphasizing ethics, integrity, and leadership qualities essential for civil services. Supportive Environment: Mentors offer encouragement, motivation, and reassurance, fostering a supportive atmosphere during the challenging preparation phase. Inspirational Guidance: Mentors inspire aspirants to strive for excellence, uphold ethical values, and contribute meaningfully to society, shaping future leaders.

For my Ed. S, I have to complete an action research project. Since the beginning of the semester, I haven’t stopped working and thinking about it all. My school’s mentoring program has been on my mind. I read multiple articles, including several from Samuel McQuillin (which is why I decided to follow him on here) and his coauthors. I think I have finally made progress towards a research question for my action research. What do you all think? Research question - “Does the calibration of a school-based mentoring program lead to enhanced mentoring practices?” Supporting questions - “According to students, what is the purpose of mentoring?” “According to teachers, what is the purpose of mentoring?” “What is the purpose for our Royal Spring Middle School’s mentoring program?” “What do teachers do when students begin to show signs of falling behind their peers academically?” “How do students respond to intervention from teachers when they are falling behind their peers academically?” #mentoring #actionresearch #gradschool

🌟 Exciting things are happening at LIS! Our G1-G5 students are taking the lead in reimagining our playground areas as part of our new Primary Student Council initiative. Based on a student request from April, our young delegates are actively exploring how we currently use playground spaces, identifying underutilized areas, and brainstorming improvements. This hands-on project is a fantastic way for our students to engage in meaningful leadership and collaboration. Their mission is clear: 🔹 Increase the attractiveness of play areas for ALL learners (inclusive). 🔹 Empower students to find their voice and lead (courageous). 🔹 Help students experience the impact they can have on their community (proud). Next week, our delegates will share their observations and ideas with classmates and gather fresh insights. On Friday, we'll start collecting and refining these ideas for area improvements and new games, which will then be presented to our school management. We’re so proud of our students for stepping up and taking charge of this project. Stay tuned for updates on their progress! #LISLions #StudentLeadership #InclusivePlay #ProudLIS #EmpoweredLearners
