Attended some in house training all morning about higher level abilities of students. Not merely about their learning but about how they learn.

Good external speaker but quite a 'high level' approach which meant that although the content was fine, I didn't find it an easy morning.

On the other hand, things he said or got us doing kept sparking off ideas of ways of engaging students and I made a list of at least three things I intend trying out with some post-graduate students on Monday. So despite work piling up faster than I feel I can get rid of it or through it, it was a valuable morning.
