The validating power of improv, "yes, and..." accepting the offer, not refusing it. No one "right" answer, creates a safe spacenfor students to speak up. #lthechat
A5 - close your eyes and imagine yourself walking through a forest with sounds, smells and textures. What appears for you? Do this as a 3 minute meditation then use a post-it for students to write down what comes up (I use it in a research context) - I.e what noise can your hear atm? #LTHEchat
A5 There's a lovely exercise someone did with me once drawing out my life as a tree, people and past events as the roots, up to current projects and aspirations as the branches and leaves. I found it orientating to get that perspective view #LTHEchat
A5 #LTHEchat scheduling to allow purposeful practice. Architectural studio teaching has an interesting model with interwoven interactions as ideas are developed and displayed
Yes - when humane the archirectural studio model offers a richness - where the student expects 'constructive failure', responds to critique, expects to engage in an iterative process...

Another favourite (for thesis writers) divide the number of words left to write, by the number of days to the deadline. Factor in days off, give your self holidays, and breaks, time for waiting for feedback, and re-drafting... calculate your daily pace for writing -- helps it feel more manageable.
A5. When a student is grappling with a sticky problem- Pulling out a good example from within a their work, discussing with them why they are good, and then focusing on how they might be able to use that approach to move forward #LTHEchat
