Unlocking Potential through Empathy: The Power of Understanding in the Personal Academic Tutoring Relationship
No full textSynopsis:
This is a speculative piece of work which aims to explore some of the ways in which academic staff who have a role as a personal academic tutor can more gain an appreciation of their students' lived experiences and therefore some of the challenges and barriers to their success in HE. In doing this we expect that staff could more effectively offer holistic support to their students, particularly those from marginalised and minority groups to foster an environment of inclusion and belonginess and improved outcomes for our students.
Abstract: Supporting student wellbeing is an essential aspect of the personal academic tutor (PAT) role. In a widening participation focused HE institution with an increasingly diverse student population academic staff may often feel underprepared or ill-equipped to understand the lived experiences of students from backgrounds which differ greatly from their own and the nuanced challenges and barriers that these bring. This is a speculative piece of work which aims to explore various methods by which academic staff who are PATs can enhance their empathy and emotional intelligence to better understand the challenges they face and therefore offer the highest level of support to their students. This work considers strategies including empathy mapping, reverse mentoring, reflection and reflexivity, and explores how these strategies could be used to enhance the relationship between PAT and student to enhance success.
This presentation will cover:
The importance of the PAT in succeeding in HE
Students from diverse backgrounds - challenges & barriers
Belonginess and mattering
The role of empathy in the PAT relationship
Strategies to increase empathy and understandin
The Three Rivers Conference 'Innovations in Learning'. Special Interest Group for Retention & Engagement Panel Member
No full textPanel discussion and questions addressing the following two points:
1. Are universities equipped to effectively respond to the shifting realities (and related challenges) of student engagement in HE? This is an opportunity to speak to work that colleagues have been involved in at their institutions in this space - highlighting the key challenges and impact of such work.
Kate Newby discussed the introduction of the Faculty Academic Support Lead role at the University of Sunderland. The focus of this role involves providing innovative solutions to student success problems.
2.
In responding to this changing and uncertain landscape, what are the opportunities for universities from a learning and teaching perspective with regards to enhancing student engagement? This question is about 'future perspective' and what we think ought to be the focus of student engagement work moving forwards (based on our discussions and reflections)

Keynote: Enhancing Inclusive Nurse Education.
No full textEnhancing Inclusive Nursing Education: Reasonable Adjustments and Reverse Mentoring in Clinical Skills Development
Kate Newby Head of the University of Sunderland Centre for Inclusive Learning (USCIL). Faculty Academic Support Lead Nursing & Midwifery.
University of Sunderland. UK
Abstract:
In an increasingly diverse healthcare landscape, nursing education must prioritise inclusivity to ensure all students are supported and equipped to succeed in clinical practice. This keynote will explore innovative strategies for embedding reasonable adjustments within nursing education, with a particular focus on clinical skills development. Drawing on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), I will highlight how tailored approaches can create equitable learning environments, enabling students with diverse needs to fully engage in practical training and skill acquisition.
Additionally, the session will delve into the transformative potential of the student voice and using reverse mentoring as a method to embed this in Higher Education. By fostering collaborative relationships where students mentor educators, reverse mentoring promotes reciprocal learning and cultural competence. This approach challenges traditional hierarchies and empowers students to share their lived experiences, particularly those from underrepresented groups, enriching the educational experience for both students and faculty.
Case studies from clinical education settings will be shared, illustrating how reasonable adjustments and reverse mentoring initiatives have enhanced student outcomes and fostered a more inclusive and compassionate learning environment. By championing these strategies, nursing education can better prepare future healthcare professionals to meet the needs of a diverse patient population.
This keynote will inspire educators, administrators, and practitioners to rethink traditional approaches to clinical skills training and mentorship, ensuring that inclusivity is at the heart of nursing education worldwide
