**My Chevening Journey so far** If there’s one profound takeaway from my Chevening Awards journey at University of Bristol, it’s this: unlike most things, failure is entirely subjective. Along this path, I’ve learned a few key lessons: 1. Our stories are meant to be different and ever-evolving. Every twist, setback, and triumph is part of a larger narrative that not only shapes who we become but also how we impact those around us. 2. Setbacks are just chapters, not conclusions. Every obstacle adds richness to your narrative. Rather than signalling the end, they set the stage for new beginnings. 3. Your story has the power to inspire. The more authentic your journey, the more it resonates with others, encouraging them to navigate their own paths with courage and confidence. 4. The bigger picture matters. In the grand scheme of things, setbacks are essential. Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, not a mark of failure. 5. Critical thinking is crucial. Since joining Chevening, my perspective has been challenged in ways I hadn’t anticipated, pushing me to think more deeply and broadly—and I am better for it. As my Chevening experience continues to unfold, I look forward to sharing more lessons and hopefully offering more inspiration along the way.

Our first Shared-Leadership Network kicked off with the topic of Keeping Students at the Center of Decision-Making. THIS IS WHAT WE LEARNED: Leaders who share decision-making responsibilities engage families and students in intentionally grounding each decision, big or small, in their co-created and identified shared purpose. Here are some examples ⬇️ ➡️ The team decided to have a late start because research shows teenagers need more sleep. ➡️ The team chose to have a minimum of two days per week to allow students to have after-school internships and teachers to have collaboration time. ➡️ The team decided to offer a self-directed, project-based learning program and allow students to earn credits for classes outside of their district’s scope and sequence. ➡️ The team decided to use technology to allow students to move at their own individual pace. ➡️ The team decided to offer credit outside of traditional classes, for example, PE credit when students track their steps, miles, and heart rate walking or riding bikes to school.

Need Help Getting Approval To Attend? We’ve Got You Covered! 🤝🤝🤝 We know that getting approval to attend professional development events can be tricky. To build a strong enough case to get the tick of approval you need to ensure the event aligns with your school’s priorities, clearly links to your role, and delivers enough value to justify the expense. Whilst doing all of this can take hours when applying to attend other events, at EduFest WA we’ve got you covered. A great way to strengthen your case is to highlight how the event aligns with key AITSL standards. Luckily we’ve done the alignment for you!

Getting outside of one's comfort zone through hands-on experiences with learning is hands-down one of the most transformative opportunities out there! "Rutgers–Camden supports a wide variety of #experiential programs, including #internships, #civic learning opportunities, #research projects, and #travel abroad. The university also offers students, regardless of major, the chance to earn a certificate in #civicengagement and #socialchange as part of their coursework. To earn the certificate, students must complete a series of five courses, a capstone presentation, and 100 hours of direct community involvement in Camden. Time and money are often the most significant barriers to taking advantage of these valuable learning experiences, especially for #firstgeneration #college students. Recent data reveals that nationally, only 8% of first-generation students travel abroad, and only 35% of first-generation seniors have participated in an internship. Rutgers–Camden seeks to overcome these barriers through counseling and support, including financial help through the Chancellor’s Experiential Learning Fund. The fund provides students with up to $3,000 to use towards their participation in an experiential learning activity. Funds can be used for travel, to cover costs while completing an unpaid internship, or to support independent research."
