What is The Reflection Exchange?
The Reflection Exchange is a collaborative learning forum available exclusively for member, accredited and fellow AHEP members. In each session, we invite members to review and reflect on a different resource, ranging from books, podcasts, event recordings, and articles – all carefully curated with a focus on HE. It’s an opportunity to exchange ideas, deepen understanding, and connect with fellow members who share a passion for advancing knowledge in their field.
How it works:
Hosted online, in each session, we will dive into a new resource, exploring key takeaways and engaging in thoughtful discussion. Each resource will be announced in advance of the session, giving colleagues time sign-up to the session and review and prepare reflections to share with the group.
As The Reflection Exchange grows, we will welcome suggestions from our members for future resources to discuss. Members will also have the opportunity to lead sessions, sharing their insights and expertise with the group and enhancing your professional development. Would you like to lead a Reflection Exchange session? Get in touch with us on hello@ahep.ac.uk to bring your suggestion to life!
When is the first Reflection Exchange session?
The Reflection Exchange session will take place online, via Microsoft Teams on Friday, 24 January 2025 from 12:30-14:00. In this session, we will focus on the “Managing Change mini-series” of the Job Shadowing HE podcast from Susannah Marsden. In preparation for the session, we ask you to review the podcast and prepare any discussion points or thoughts you would like to share with the group. We will also be joined by Susannah on the day.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Reflection Exchange!
