Dave – thanks for your comment. Yes – stories (case studies) of residency and visiting would be helpful and probably serve to make the continuum visible. I’ll be interested to see how your work in this area develops.

The plan was to fame the day using the Visitors and Residents metaphor so that we had a platform to talk about the kinds of ideas Dave and Lindsay forwarded. In the end the metaphor took over a bit. It would seem that metaphors are very attractive… It’s easier (more fun?) to talk about/deconstruct a metaphor than it is to use it as a tool to discuss practice.

My hope is that we can continue the *actual* discussion and make examples of practice at the Resident end of the continuum as visible as possible. As I said on the day I think it’s an important area and something we haven’t got to grips with yet.

I love the Lyndsey Jordan quote… she’s doing some pretty cool stuff in her classrooom.

I did get some feedback around those topics during some of the breakout groups, but i think it was the case of it being too far off the central idea of the day. Thanks for having my back though
