Practice Educator Professional Standards Stage 2 pt

This short course covers domains A-D of the ‘Professional Practice Educator Standards’ and the ‘Values for Practice Educators and Supervisors’. It focusses on extending the breadth and depth of your practice in managing, enabling and assessment of learning and on the development of your own practice. There is particular emphasis on the evaluation of your own practice, developing specific teaching methods and involvement in the wider aspects of practice education.

A variety of teaching methods are used within the programme including workshops, self-directed learning, group work and tutorials. Online learning will be used to complement traditional methods of teaching.

The assessment for this course will focus on both theoretical understanding and practical skills.

You will have the opportunity to demonstrate capability in:

• applying creative teaching and supervisory methods that address the complexities of learning
• using assessment methods that result in justifiable and fair judgements
• managing complex and contentious issues such as dealing with failing students, complaints and appeals
• developing your own practice as an educator including exploration of application of values, new roles and engaging with contemporary issues in practice education.
