Thanks again Pam for such an enjoyable and engaging presentation. You and Steve were both brilliant, reflected by the high volume of positive comments and enthusiastic questions. We'll need to drag you back for more! 😂

A6 A very important one! But ultimately it's not their challenge to resolve. The best thing they can do is keep sharing their experiences and hopefully feel that they're being heard and responded to #lthechat

A5 Own it for what it is, acknowledge the challenge but give them confidence there are solutions. Better yet, they're solutions that (for the most part) can be easily actioned! Also try to shift any sense of failure or inadequacy attached to asking for help. They're asking for clarity #lthechat

A4 Sounds ironic to say make it visible but needs to be wider recognition of hidden curric, potential impacts, but also real efforts to tackle this head on and get this right for students and staff (who can also be heavily impacted). Student Guide to the Hidden Curric is ideal start point #lthechat

A3 Hidden curric can contribute massively to 'imposter syndrome' and feelings of exclusion/otherness. There's growing awareness in work addressing awarding gaps that focusing on transitions could be key to improving student outcomes and developing greater parity of experience + opportunity #lthechat

The little heart does not do justice to how much I agree with this! (Also, hello pal!! 😁)

A2 I'd say self-reflection and being alive to your own use of language - thinking not only about tricky terminology and where this is/isn't communicated to students currently but also any expectations inadvertently reinforced through phrasing etc. And keep speaking to students! #LTHEchat

The hidden curriculum-shaped Bat signal shines brightly 😂

The feeling was mutual! A real joy to work on with all three of you 🙂 Still such an important resource too - and let's not forget the guide for staff! I'm really looking forward to following the discussion this week on #LTHEchat

Hello, friend! This feels like a very sensible move 😁
