Simulation faces the ideological struggle of standardisation and neoliberalism - yet learning should be more liberal and learner centred. Remember - we are all on DIFFERENT learning tracjectories
Always aim to ‘Tailor sim’ for learners and ‘not one size fits all’

Psychological safety is a complex and multilayered construct.
It’s not a simple ‘bolt on’ but a carefully co-constructed phenomena
Fragile in nature; one wrong move can cause it to tumble

The art 🎨 and science🧪of facilitation
More than controlling the physiology, facilitators need to control the pedagogy and learning in the moment.
Extending learners just enough to create the space to experiment & grow
