For years now, I have found the “head-heart-hands” (HHH) model of learning to be an especially helpful metaphor. Born and raised in Galway as I was, the metaphor and the image of the Claddagh ring immediately connected in a way that sparked a new schema for reflecting teaching and learning.

This page is to document my efforts to redress the longstanding imbalance in my HHH as I intentionally focus on learning through the psychomotor domain. I have been fortunate to have been welcomed into the learning community at SW9 at BCIT where I have had opportunity, support, and encouragement to make progress in this regard.

I have very much enjoyed my learning so far. Becoming a novice once again has afforded me opportunity to consider and re-consider my own teaching practices. I’ll keep at it and record some of my learning here as I do.
