dispute with psychotherapy training providier

For context, I am in the UK. I have been training to qualify as psychotherapist since 2019. I am now in my last year of training, having already qualified as psychotherapeutic councillor. I am also the primary carer of my spouse who has severe disability that impacts their mobility and unfortunately causes sudden arm and knee dislocation. As my spouse's condition worsened this year, I asked for a permission to attend some teaching sessions online (I am close to finishing the training) and the training organisation granted me this accommodation.

What does getting a Master's Degree look like?

I'm finishing up my Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology this summer. YAY! It only took me 30 years. I'm throwing around the idea of continuing to get my Master's degree, but I don't even know what that looks like. Is it just taking more classes? Is it project-based? I guess each program varies, but in general, what does a Master's degree entail?

Graphic Novels for Teens?

It looks like I'm in the position where I can get my school's library to order a whole bunch of graphic novels for teens and near-native language learners. I have a smattering of ideas (Sandman, Nimona, Persepolis, Lumberjanes), and we have Maus, but not much else. I'd like to get a solid assortment of graphic novels for various reading levels and interests, fiction and non-fiction. [more inside]

Looking for a medical education article on coaching learners

This article had nice tables with specific examples of what the learner and the coach should ask each other. The tables were blue. The paper followed some type of model for mentorship of a learner. There are so many articles on coaching in academic medicine. I cannot find the specific one that I read. The key thing is finding a paper where there are very specific examples with verbiage supplied instructing readers on exactly what to say

PhDetour

I am curious to hear anecdotes from people who entered PhD programs later in life, after years in the non-academic workforce. Things like: What motivated you to do it? Did you get what you wanted out of it? Was it a difficult transition? Would you do it again? as well as logistical questions like how you approached applying to programs would all be helpful (plus anything else you'd want to add). Thanks!

GI Bill $; ROTC $ - What does it cover?

In order to finance college, my grandson is considering joining the military. I think this is a horrible idea, because I think one should join the military because they want to join the military, not solely because it is a means to finance college. [more inside]

Tips and tricks for becoming a tiger mom

So, it's become clear that I need to be way more involved in my 6th grade son's academics than I have been. (Read through my past AskMes for background!) I come from a Gen X background where my parents were not at all involved in academics, so it all feels very unfamiliar to me. My son has a lengthy IEP but his behavioral issues have always taken precedence over academics in terms of my energy and financial resources. Now in middle school I can't continue to ignore academics. [more inside]

How to visualize university budget models?

I'm looking for clear, easy-to-understand visual representations or diagrams of the various higher education budgeting models: where does the money come in from, how does it get apportioned through various parties and stakeholders—academics, athletics, maintenance, administration, etc.—and where does it get spent or produce value? I'm guessing graduate textbooks in management accounting or the economics of higher education would be the first place to look, but I'm not having any luck. [more inside]
