To hit leadership and communication competency

[Toomanygingerbreadmen]

Can I use a tricky topic I had to teach over several sessions as an example for the leadership & communicating civil service competency? It’s for an SEO post. I’m finding it hard to match teaching experience with the competencies.

Yes I would have thought so. It needs to be about how You show leadership in what ever form. How did you adapt to the dynamics of the classroom to steer towards the outcome you planned to have. Even if it wasn’t successful what did you learn from the session and what would you do differently next time are standard follow up Qs. How did you coach responses out, how did you mentor pupils to achieve the outcome, how did that one session fit in with overall strategic aim etc..

It’s about teasing out the skills you have developed and then seeing how you can then apply them to the job you are applying for. Civil service is a really formulated interview scoring process - relate your answer back somehow at the end to ..”I can apply the skills I have described to this role by doing x..” get more points. Tease out the same language used in the job advert too and use those key words in your answers. Keep your written responses gender neutral as they remove names & gender at sifting and enables focus on skills. Hope that helps, Good luck

I was thinking of writing it about a series of 6 sessions which I designed & taught. It built up to achievement by all the diverse members of the class and was adapted to each of their needs. Do you think that is too broad ? Should I focus on a single session instead? I’m struggling with how specific it needs to be.
