Light Sensitive? Speaking Opportunities: “Education Estates” (London) October 2024 Hopefully someone will speak about these Problems:- · Some students and teachers who are light sensitive do not ‘fit’ within a SEND category e.g.: – an intellectually gifted student who is fatigued by lighting; – a teacher who cannot tolerate artificial lighting; – students with migraines triggered by lighting. – a student with visual perceptual anomalies exacerbated by lighting and ultra-white paper. · Some students included in SEND categories may be light sensitive, but their light sensitivity is unrecognised e.g: – dyslectic students (approx. 50% may be light sensitive), – those with ADHD whose light sensitivity is unrecognised. · There is no consensual measure for light sensitivity, so identification is problematic. However, – teachers could simply ask “How difficult do you find it to read under the lighting? See the questionnaire developed by Cortez et al. "Validation of a Photophobia Symptom." Cephalalgia 39, no. 11 (2019): 1445–54. Why do I write from Australia? Because a fifteen-year-old girl in the UK wrote to me hoping that I could do something. Her words “the words are whirling around and vibrating and bullying the words and numbers out of the way” inspired my book cover designer. If someone knows ‘L G’ would they please tell her that I’m doing something (albeit from a distance and as an Australian citizen).
Inclusive lighting design strategy for health and well-being, keynote speaker, curator, author, WELL Light Advisory Member
Iain Macrae CEng FSLL MCIBSE, Shane Cryer and I were guests of Education Estates® Exhibition | Conference | Awards almost exactly one year ago, inviting our audience to design spaces centred on the unique sensory processing needs of all young people, but especially those with special educational needs. This sparked a successful pilot project with award-winning architects Zane Putne, Claire Barton and Anna Monaghan, the Head Teachers and teams at Hawthorns and Yeoman Park schools, supported by Cosmin Ticleanu and The Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment. We're all set to move into the second phase, testing the potential simple, sustainable and affordable retrofit lighting solutions to support student learning, and offer their remarkable teachers a new tool for engagement - and fun! We'll be sharing the latest news and inviting our audience to get involved. Hope to see you there!

Is prior learning a part of your institution's culture? #LearningMobility is a learner-centered innovation, where systems, processes, programs, and initiatives must be designed around the needs and best interests of the learner of today and the future at every stage of their journey.
Innovative credentials are here to stay, but what is your institution's culture around prior learning assessments and innovative credentials? Addressing your institution's existing culture around prior learning could help you decide your next move.

Awesome short (15m) interview about a forthcoming update report to 2019 AACRAO research on #CPL, #PLA, #PLAR #RPL, #VPL (pick your acronym), focused on messy #portfolio approaches. This is just Credit for Prior Learning, which I find a bit narrow, even within an academic context (lots of other purposes for recognition)... ...but there's lots of great stuff and I can't wait for the report. The big TIL for me is Jon Calderwood's suggestion about actually developing and credentialing faculty in their roles as Advisors and Assessors for #RPL. They're far and away the key actors in HE, but currently, over 60% have no formal training. Jon suggests that insitutions could start reporting faculty PD as a KPI for academic quality to accreditors. I suggest that accreditors could start asking for it... 8-> Food for thought for the upcoming #VPLBiennale in Ireland and for us up here in Canada, as #CAPLA, Canada's counterpart to CAEL, prepares for a pan-Canadian scan of PD for #RPL. NB: Andy Brown, Bonnie Kennedy and others on the Credentialing and Certification committee. Finally, kudos to Noah Geisel for his ongoing role as a tireless whisperer for #alternativecredentials #digitalbadges #openbadges. Now with #PLA. Will Jon be at the The Badge Summit @ CU Boulder, I wonder?
