Unlock the power of effective communication in vocational education with our latest post on scaffolding professional conversations. Discover practical strategies and insights to support apprentices' skill and knowledge development

Scaffolding Professional Conversations in Vocational Education Assessments Recently, I collaborated with vocational educators on designing questions for oral assessments of trades and vocational subjects. Given the high speaking and listening demands for interactions between assessors and trainees, this work aligned with Step 6 of the Learning Progressions for Adult Literacy. Technical and…

I don’t know if you know this but I love a good royal au just as much if not more than a mer au… so when someone mentioned it at the beginning of May and i went for the thematic mermay instead I vowed I would come come back to the subject. Sketch dump time

Enter young king Aaron and prince Andrew, who recently were assigned new personal guards but Andrew is starting to realize every other word out of Abram’s mouth is only a half-truth if not an outright lie… what could he possibly have to hide

#Things We’ve Decided: #1) Aaron and Katelyn’s marriage was arranged but they’re both very happy and love each other #2) Andrew takes one look at Abram’s ball/festivity uniform while on duty and says absolutely not #put this man in a corset #3) abram only pretends he knows how to use a sword #in reality he’s much more comfortable with daggers and other small weapons he can conceal easily #for reasons obviously #4) Kevin ran away from evermore kingdom/castle and is now the twin’s advisor in training #under wymack’s tutelage #5) lady dan wilds is Aaron’s guard #beyond that is either heavy spoilers or outright undecided/not thought about at all #who am I kidding it’s an au #spoilers only exist in a quantum state #BUT IF YOURE CURIOUS AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT #MY DMS ARE OPEN ALL THE TIME #uhhhhh yeah #sketch dump #aftg #fan art #neil josten #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #royal au #all for the game #my art

kabru is not a twink none of yall know what a twink is anymore!

#yall will say anything! #like yea hes skinny from DYING sm but he's been training in combat since childhood #clearly skilled in canary fighting styles aside from just the fact that we know that mf can disarm and kill ppl in an instant #i honestly doubt he'd even let his skills dull after becoming an advisor bc knowing him he prob would want to be capable of #taking out assassins and the like on his own #he's better than a normal guy hes BUILT #just rubs me the wrong way when a chara heavily hc'd as trans masc gets twinkified by fandom AGAIN #i say this as a trans masc person #whatever. kabru ily so bad #kabru of utaya #dungeon meshi

awoken at half past six by my broken bugle banging against the window-frame in the wind… really not an enthusiast of this new thing where I wake up too early with so much energy, go back to sleep, and wake up again The Most Sleepy.

#news from the cupola #I could also dream-journal about last night with such length…. #suffice it to say that there were train journeys and hot dog mascots and also my academic advisor #and we were up to some da vinci code kind of nonsense #…rather than posting I perhaps ought to Get Out of Bed #regrettably I am Far too cozy for that!

have to do a paper focusing on modern religion instead of religious/cultural history i have suffered more than jesus

#all jokes i do find modern religion very fascinating i just tend to get lost in the sauce of ancient history #but this one's going to be a fun one it's gonna be on jewish masculinity and femininity in modern times esp focused in the united states #and how they differ from mainstream western ideas of masculinity and femininity #might talk to this one woman in my classes who's a rabbi in training bc she's cool as hell and knows a ton abt this stuff #possibly my capstone advisor too bc hes got all his degrees in jewish studies and focuses most on Modern judaism #so he may have a few resources i can pick his brain for lmaoooo #it'll be fun ! i'm just so used to focusing on religious history i think so far i've only ever had to write one paper on modern religion #which was to do with trauma in evangelical churches specifically seventh day adventism but. #that was for a psychology & religion class #religious studies rambling

Dove Lore

This Has A Content Warning, Do Not Reblog

So, I mentioned that I used to bartend on a post with @azulashengrottospiano. So here is some more Dove lore. A lot of my certifications revolve around subjects that can be triggering, they will be below the cut

Feel free to pop into the comments if you wish to discuss any of them.

I have been CPR & First Aid certified and know how to use a defibrillator (AED) [need to get recertified, have only used first aid as of yet]

I'm certified in Positive Space [aka I'm a safe person for others to talk to about 2SLGBTQIA+ stuff]

Smart Serve; relates to bartending. I preferred making mocktails though.

CONTENT WARNING

The certifications below the cut discuss topics containing overdose, mental health, and suicide. I only say what the certifications are for and don't delve deeper than that.

Mental Health First Aid; trained to intervene in the case of a mental health crisis.

Naloxone; is used in the case of an opioid overdose.

safeTALK; suicide intervention, includes training in knowing the signs.

#dove lore #i got all of them for free through my schooling and job #i haven't had to use most of them as of yet #i used to be a student advisor ; basically kinda what the house wardens are but i was TRAINED #cw overdose #cw mental health #cw suicide #<- training to avoid/help those

I'm rewatching The Hungergames right now and thought it must be possible to imagine Thenamesh in this kind of situation.

"You can't hide in here forever."

Gil nearly yelped, but he couldn't help it. He had been all but trembling since they got on the transports, and now things were really setting in. They were really here, they were really going to be competing with each other - to the death - in a matter of weeks.

He really had volunteered to go in Phastos' place.

Her name was Thena, he remembered from their briefings. She was from District 2, and a favourite to win the whole damn thing. She was smart, she was strong, she was trained in blades and deadly from head to toe. And she was really pretty.

"Well?"

"S-Sorry," Gil murmured, creeping out from the solace he'd found in the equipment room. Everyone else was in the training room already, showing themselves off (or just trying not to look like a walking target).

"Don't apologise," she said immediately, crossing her arms at him. "Your decisions are your own from here on out. You have to be prepared to live with the consequences of every one of them."

"Right," he murmured, not entirely sure how to talk to the career driven girl. He fidgeted with his hands in front of him.

She paused, though, tilting her head at him. Her hair slipped over her shoulder. His eyes followed it. "You volunteered to compete in place of your brother."

Yes, he had famously volunteered as tribute, the first example of it in years, supposedly. They were from District 4, not the worst off, but not the best either. They had grown up swimming and fishing, but Phastos was a nervous kind of kid. He was better at inventing contraptions than wrestling with his fellow man.

Gil had heard his brother's name called, looked over and seen Phastos crying on Ben's shoulder, and ran forward.

"I admire you for it."

Well, he hadn't been expecting that. He looked up at her, finding a rare smile on her face. It was so beautiful it made her seem almost human. "Uh, thanks?"

She dropped her arms and her rigid stance all together. More and more she looked like a girl close to his age--a girl he could have known were it not for this shit show. "I volunteered for my brother."

Oh! He didn't even know that was allowed.

"Druig is smart, but he isn't strong," she admitted quietly, looking down at her feet. "He isn't a Fighter. But I am."

He knew that. Everyone around them knew it--Kingo had even told him that bets were passing hands in her favour. "What about the other guy?"

"Ikaris," she muttered, looking up at him again. "He's a Fighter, and I suppose I can't blame him for being angry with me. Because I volunteered, they had to re-raffle the boys' names."

Yeah, that was a pretty good reason.

"Be careful," she advised, "around him. I mean it--I may be at the top of his list, but Ikaris is vicious. I think he's the only one here more capable of a kill shot than I am."

Gil winced. He wasn't sure he wanted to see that. He wasn't going to be able to keep his promise to Phastos at all.

Thena stepped closer to him, though. "But he's not invincible--none of us are."

She seemed almost excited by that.

"Ikaris has a terrible temper," she continued telling him lethal information on her temporary teammate. "He's easily baited. And his form and technique aren't really that good, he's just strong. If you find yourself in range of him, play dirty."

Gil almost scoffed but Thena stepped in closer again. His jaw clapped shut, his cheeks flushing as he caught the scent of fancy shampoo off her hair.

"I mean it, Gil," she pressed, and he barely had to time to ask how she knew his name. "Taunt him, tease him, do anything necessary to make him lose his cool. It could end up saving your life if I'm not there."

"If you're not-"

"And stop cowering during the training sessions!" She was back to ordering him. She stepped back though, placing her hands on her hips. "I know how strong you are. You thought no one was looking but I've seen you re-rack the training weights like they're scraps of paper."

Yeah, it was from a lifetime of hauling fishnets onto the boats. It was a core workout if ever there was one.

"We might have to play their game, but I refuse to believe that our only allies are ourselves," she stated outright, gripping her fists as if she had her signature dual blades in her hands. "My advisor is sweet--maybe a little too sweet for all of this. But Ajak knows how the games work, how to get sponsors and how to poll well so people want to keep you around."

Well, that was easy for her to say, Gil couldn't help thinking. She was cool, beautiful, had that kind of unattainable don't-talk-to-me charm that could drive guys nuts. Of course she would be popular with the audience!

"I've got my eye on you, Gilgamesh," she concluded, stepping towards the door again. She looked at him over her shoulder. "Just...remember what I said when you're out there."

He didn't know if she meant in the training room or once they were really out there in the field. But he nodded, newly convinced that yeah--maybe he could make it through this. Just maybe.

#Thenamesh AU #Thenamesh Hunger Games AU #I have thought about this #and I have to admit #and I was tempted to make them #advisors or grizzled victors who have to train the kids #Thena has that cranky mentor kind of vibe #and Gilgamesh would be the 'fun' mentor #if that's possible #and obviously and completely soft on her #despite everything going on around them

had a dream last night about a sexy genderqueer jester in neon drag makeup who was soooo sensually attractive, he had his kind-of-goatee painted neon yellow. i want him so bad... he did acrobatics and his group went to gay rughts marches to perform...

#in my dream i had been in love with them forever but they didnt know and i couldnt tell him #because i was married to The King. there was drama about there being rumors the king was sterile #and me getting knocked up provided him a potential heir to his throne #but the prince couldnt be a bastard so we had to get married to legitimize his only childs claim #but like it was a political marriage and the king wasnt interested in me romantically #and when he got the woman he was sleeping with/in love with knocked up i offered him a no fault divorce #and to set it up so my son could train in the group the man i loved was in #and then become a court jester/advisor to his half siblings/spy master #but my son knew i had been in love with the trickster jester for over a decade #and when he met him to apprentice he TOLD them that i had always been in love with them and missed them every day #and my jester almost didnt believe him because i had stayed away for so long #because it hurt to be around them and not have them while trapped in my unhappy marriage #anyway

Fall training in a nutshell

#ra life #resident assistant #res life #residential advisor #ra #true story of training this fall #all the baby RAs taking diligent notes #while the veterans are like #they're going to change all of this in a month anyways #why bother even learning #legit I have a meeting with the director of res life #where I'm going to tell her that I need a bulleted list of every policy they've changed so far #because my RAs are CONFUSED #and so am I #tales from your ra

[killsaki]

idk why i always picture hanma as a silly + evil sorcerer in royal aus but it just makes sense to me.

#like ! he’s a sorcerer in training . and he seems nice enough #but he’s very.. sly . and the royal advisor in training (kisaki (AGHH)) being such a close friend of his only makes him more suspicious #star speaks. #both of them always hanging too close to the princess doesn’t make sense. they shouldn’t be allowed near her #but she’s convinced the king they’re trustworthy enough ! #i just ! have so many ideas regarding this ! #hanma’s a jester fr

#things i am excited about at my new job #it's nice to SEE AND INTERACT WITH PEOPLE EVERY DAY #jesus between covid and working from home that was getting seriously hard for me to achieve #i find the subject matter interesting (it's medical stuff and helping patients which is way more interesting to me than the finance shit #i was doing at my last job where i just like helped financial advisors get richer) #my bosses are kinda young and cool which is nice because mostly i have worked for boomer men older than my dad #i get to people watch and learn new things and it's challenging but not TOO overwhelmingly difficult #it's admin stuff which i kinda enjoy in a dorky sim management job sort of way (i do that kind of shit for fun in video games all the time) #the one thing im worried about rn is that the person who's training me that im filling in for is leaving soon and they're my fave part #of coming to work right now because i just like hanging out with them and they have like this hypnotically soothing aura #and sweet kind personality so im afraid once theyre gone (a) i will suck at doing it all without them and #(b) it just wont be nearly as nice but #i must think positive thoughts and hopefully i can use their mentorship as inspiration too #i spent all last year failing at being a self directed online student and juggling random part time shit so i am SO GLAD #to have full time work and work that isnt horribly boring and lonely like the finance work from home one before it #ps the person who is training me worked for 12 years as a 911 emergency phone operator if you want a picture of how calm and nice they are #like they can make anything seem ok and fine and remain calm no matter what and their voice is the gentlest thing on earth lol #i get free asmr all day basically #p
