I am also expected to participate in overall contribution of the school, where appropriate, and as directed by my manager. It is a fact that academics in HE nowadays are expected to be ‘dual professionals’: professionals in their subject disciplines and ‘professional educators’ Peel (2005). In the next section, I will critically look at my current experiences relating to two areas of my work - a) teaching and supporting student learning, and b) continuous professional development. These are two of the ‘areas of activity’ identified within the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) (2011). 2.

Another key element to our college is the learners/young people. Safe guarding is introduced right from their induction, learners/young people have to identify designated senior persons (DSP) as part of their induction qualification. Learners/young people must also attend safe guarding tutorials throughout the year. Safe guarding is promoted throughout the college with photos of the designated senior persons (DSP) all around the college. The safe guarding policy and procedure is highlighted in all staff and learner sessions.
Appendix E Reflective Report Guidelines The following guidelines are provided to assist students to write a comprehensive and structured reflective learning report. Objectives and aims The objective of the report is to account and reflect on what the students have learned during their 12week internship placement at the designated professional firms. Students need to write a succinct report on what they have learned focusing on the key skill areas including the development of business awareness, application of technical skills and professional judgment, as well as the challenges of working in teams. The students also have the opportunity to highlight their key achievements and their observations and analyses of specific issues faced by the professional firms and how these issues could be resolved. Preparation of the report While many facts in the report are derived from the students’ work-place experience, they must be academically sound in terms of organisation, presentation and content.
The roles and responsibilities of a tutor in the Lifelong Sector include promoting positive behaviour, diversity and inclusion throughout the teaching and learning process (Gravells, 2012). The author concurs with Gravells et al (2012) that, a tutor should also challenge prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping as it occurs. This can be achieved by incorporating activities in learning based around equality and diversity so it helps students in their understanding. Francis and Gould (2013) state that the role of a tutor in the lifelong learning sector is not confined to imparting knowledge and skills, but covers a multiplicity or different tasks. These roles are accompanied by responsibilities and these contribute to the adoption of a professional approach to work in the lifelong learning sector.
Leaders have a vision, take initiative, influence people, make proposals, solve problems, follow-up, and, most of all, take responsibility (Argosy, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to identify an issue in my community that can be addressed with the aid of your local community college. This paper will next put together a broad-based team that I will lead to develop a plan for addressing the issue. In doing so this paper will outline the team members, their roles, their skill sets, how they will reflect the community, how they support each other and how I will ensure buy-in by all team members. The Issue Identifying an issue in my community that can be addressed with aid of my local community college was not hard to find.
I feel as though the Vision Statement on our campus includes all students on campus and keeps the future of all students in mind. Education is not only about the core classes. We as educators and leaders have an obligation to our student to prepare them for life. Our Vision Statement also includes giving students knowledge
