This may be an "old" book Apps J.W. (1991) "Mastering the teaching of adults" but I am enjoying reading the tips (pre Internet) of being an effective facilitator of learning and the metaphors for a teacher.
Thank you @chrishall.bsky.social for remembering my quote of this and purchasing for me.

Thank you for your post @profdamienpage.bsky.social which I saw on LinkedIn this morning.
My consideration of 'failure' in HE teaching and supporting those to be open about it has been reignited.
Do others have references to add to those in the attached? (message me direct for a Word version)?

It's been a great collaborative effort.
I learnt from the others and it was such a great team, we drew on our strengths, recognised limitations, clearly communicating & supporting each other.
