The Transformation Support Service has been setup to offer Educational
Institutions with bespoke support to help them to evolve their
learning, teaching and assessment practices in line with Institutional
Strategy and Policy. The Service offered is customised based on
Institutional needs and priorities. These are established in discussion
with you during an initial visit with a member of our Support Team.
The following themes provide an example of the types of support
we can offer.
If you would like to know more please complete the enquiry form
Theme 1
Strategy and Policy |
We will assign a senior member of our Support Team
who will work with Senior Managers at a strategic level
to help them evaluate the extent to which learning,
teaching and assessment and e-learning strategies and
policies are impacting on the quality of learning and
teaching in their Institutions.
Working through established
networks both in Higher and Further Education, we
are experienced in advising Senior Managers on national
policies, initiatives, current research, practices
and developments that might inform future strategies
designed to bring desired changes to learning, teaching
and assessment practice. Our Support Team members
have
worked in Educational Institutions at senior levels
and have experience of writing, implementing and
evaluating innovative strategies that have resulted
in significant
changes to Institutional Learning and Teaching Practices.
Theme 2
Engaging Practitioners |
We will assign members of our Support Team who are experienced
in engaging, enthusing and supporting teaching practitioners and
other learner support professionals to introduce new learning,
teaching and assessment methods to their practices.
Members of
our Support Team have worked successfully to bring about change
in learning, teaching and assessment practice at an operational
level within their own Institutions. They are experienced in
working with staff development teams, central learning and teaching
support
teams and directly with practitioners to set up communities of
practice, organise activities, workshops and other events designed
to encourage staff to think differently about their practices
and introduce and demonstrate how new technologies can be used
effectively
to enhance the quality of the learner experience.
Our team has
expertise in designing Induction programmes that introduce
new staff to preferred learning, teaching and assessment practices.
We can also provide advice and guidance on the professional
development
and mentoring support needed as staff start to introduce new
approaches to their practices.
Theme 3
Engaging Learners |
We will assign members of our Support Team who have experience
of working directly with learners. Our team has expertise in designing
activities that expand learners’ knowledge, understanding
and learning skills so that they can learn effectively and take
more responsibility for their learning within new physical and
virtual learning environments.
We also have experience in working
with Institutions to help develop strategies and mechanisms that
encourage and develop learners to participate more effectively
in Institutional quality enhancement systems and processes using
self evaluation and reflection.
