Key points to consider
To maximise your nominee’s chances of success, please address these points in your entry
- Learner engagement: The extent to which your nominee shows commitment to each and every student; challenging students to aim high and supporting them in pursuit of their aspirations.
- Learner–focused flexibility in delivery: Ways in which they set goals which are challenging for each learner, breaking them down into appropriate, manageable steps where needed and the impact of this on learner outcomes. Tell us about steps in place for monitoring the experience and progress of each learner and any adjustments used to ensure the needs of individual pupils and the class as a whole are met.
- Learning and development optimisation: How do they engage others to support students’ learning and development – other colleagues, other professionals, and outside agencies/organisations. What are the outcomes of this?
- Contribution wider than the classroom: The extent to which they contribute beyond the classroom to the life of the college and the impact this has. Ways in which they also demonstrate a commitment to their own professional learning and personal development.
