Throw-away user name. I'm applying for a Civil Service job as a route out of teaching. Is this strong enough and which criteria would you use it for if so from this list:
- Organisational Skills
- Collaborative Skills
- Planning Skills
- Self-development
Situation:
Students at the large FE college I was a Programme Lead at needed to cover ten Induction units including Safeguarding, Equality and Diversity, use of AI and Behaviour Expectations. In previous years members of staff had worked through all ten with their group of students. Learners became bored and disengaged, and staff were overwhelmed with planning and delivering all ten units. We had high levels of disruption and numbers of students who did not return for afternoon sessions
Task
I took on the over-haul of the Induction process for the 250 students.
Action
I sent out a survey prior to Induction to gather student data and, based on this, split students into ten groups and spread staff across ten rooms. I allocated support staff due to educational needs outlined in the survey and produced a timetable that allowed movement breaks between each session.
We worked together via a channel on Teams so that resources could be added to collaboratively and each member of staff chose and delivered one session to each group.
Results
Behaviour, staff satisfaction and student retention all improved following the implementation of this new approach. We were able to monitor attendance to each session using QR sign in codes and a shared register spreadsheet.
Thank you!!
