Reconnecting with best practice in the AMHP role through Appreciative Inquiry
Detention decisions have attracted a lot of attention in academic literature, my literature review examining those sources (Simpson 2020), but the decision made by an AMHP when they are approached with a request for them to consider detaining someone (a referral) has attracted no attention. As such AMHPs have been left to navigate this mysterious terrain alone.

Rolling Dice – Creative ways of engaging students with problem-based learning
I got myself a doughnut, and then I began to think about this activity. As I pondered this conundrum my mind wandered to Dungeons and Dragons [D&D]. I play D&D regularly with a group of friends and I have a good collection of books. Many of these have pages of Random Tables that are used to help determine things like a person’s characteristics, items in a room, or the location of certain objects. When planning a D&D session one would roll a die and use the corresponding number in the random table to help generate ideas. I thought about how I could use this for my students, and I soon formed a cunning plan!
