HEART (HEaring And Realising Teaching voice) is a learning design support strategy for teachers and learning designers involved in planning, developing or reviewing course (or learning) designs. The strategy helps users to elicit and visualise what we have called the 'teaching voice'; that is, the confluence of teaching beliefs and educational practice in the form of pedagogical dimensions.
The HEART strategy involves using a questionnaire that addresses these pedagogical dimensions, a visualisation tool, and facilitated face-to-face and online discussion. It can be used in a variety of course or resource development stages (e.g. planning, design, or review), either collaboratively between course lecturers and learning designers, by individual teachers or learning designers, or by a teaching programme team. Once the questionnaire is completed, the results are submitted directly to the visualisation tool. The visual representations illustrate the pedagogical dimensions of the course or learning design. Currently we are trialling different visual representations and dimensions, including the 'bubble chart' you see above.

Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston (Mar. 20, 2014) -- Maj. Gen. Camille Nichols, deputy commanding general of U.S. Army Installation Management Command participated in a panel discussion on women's roles in the U.S. Army. Nichols spoke about her Army career path, personal experiences and offered insight into changing attitude and culture regarding women's expanding opportunities in the Army.
"It was a different Army in 1981, I wanted a job where I could get dirty," Nichols told her listeners. "I was one of two female officers when I arrived at Fort Knox as an engineer. They didn't quite know what to do with me." Nichols said that while many doors closed in her face, unlooked-for opportunities shaped her career path.
"You never know what opportunities are out there - the Army needs agile, innovative, creative people," she said.
When asked about how to handle gender biased professional criticism, Nichols replied that focusing on her actions helped her as a female Army leader.
"It's going to happen (referring to a less than perfect rating). Don't chase a rating. If you do, you are in this for the wrong reason. Stay focused on improvement. Seek out the toughest job and do it well. That's how you show your true value."

Teacher education is often criticised for appearing to reinforce approaches to practice that (inadvertently) support a 'transmission' or 'banking' model (Friere, 1970)--a model that has further reinforced traditional notions of learning to teach by apprenticeship, replication and staged socialisation into the profession. Teaching is seen as telling, and listening is seen as learning (Berry & Loughran, 2002; Russell, 1999).
