<p>Thanks for posting this Julie. I agree that it raises some very interesting questions in relation to learning and teaching. Some stray thoughts: </p>
<p>- How, as educators, to we facilitate expression of negative emotions (particularly when our own performance is being judged via student satisfaction surveys!). I think - from my own experience - this can be a particular issue for beginning teachers, where it can tap in to fears about one's own competence and about floodgates opening. . .…</p>
<p>Thanks for posting this Julie. I agree that it raises some very interesting questions in relation to learning and teaching. Some stray thoughts: </p>

I think - from my own experience - this can be a particular issue for beginning teachers, where it can tap in to fears about one's own competence and about floodgates opening. . . . I wonder what other people think?</p>
<p>- How are social media approaches (eg twitter) playing in to this focus on positivity (and, perhaps, closing down discussion of more difficult emotions)?</p>
<p>- How can we acknowledge the negative/unsettling/troubling impacts of learning itself? This is much discussed in relation to PhD study, but an issue with resonance at all levels. </p>
<p>I was interested in the discussion of mindfulness approaches. I've been collecting links with a focus on mindfulness and higher education here: <a href="http://bundlr.com/b/mindfulness-and-higher-education">http://bundlr.com/b/mindfulness-and-higher-education</a> Would be interested in any others people come across. </p>
