DESCRIPTION
The LSIS change agent programme. a powerful model for continuou improvement in teaching and learning based on successful peer coaching approaches
Citation preview
Teaching and learning change agents – introducing
the modular training approach
31 March 2011
What will be covered
• Increased sector involvement and participation across all LSIS activity
• What this means for the Teaching and Learning Programme
• The change agent modular training programmes
• Developing a regional infrastructure
The journey so far
• Embedded a powerful model for continuous improvement in teaching and learning based on successful peer coaching approaches
• Trained a large cohort of change agents and advanced change agents (SLCs, PDAs, E Guides)
• Developed extensive range of resources
• Facilitated communities of practice
What do we mean by the term ‘change agent’?
An individual who:
• is recruited prior to implementation of a change;
• is a well-regarded representative of the area they work in;
• understands the reasoning behind the change;
• helps to communicate the excitement, possibilities and details of the change to others within the organisation;
• has the knowledge, skills and techniques to support their peers to transform the way they work.
Moving forward…..
Continue to drive improvement in teaching and learning and high quality CPD
Increased sector ownership and participation
Ongoing development and training of change agents
Harnessing the collective capacity of change agents
Supporting partnership working
Peer supported activity at
Learning Fairs
Major extension of grant
schemes
Creation of modular
programme for Advanced
Change Agents
In house training and recognition
scheme for Change Agents
Advanced change agents….a modular approach?
• Increased flexibility and responsiveness to individual
and organisational needs
• Harnessing common skills sets and principles
underpinning all change agent roles
• Opportunities to enhance and extend ‘specialisms’
Possible ‘routes’ for advanced change agents
SLC trained and ALC trained = ACA (SLC)
PDA trained and APDA trained = ACA (PDA)
E-Guide trained and A E-Guide trained = ACA (E- Guide)
PDA trained, E-Guide trained and APDA trained = ACA (PDA) specialising in both PDA and E-Guide cascade training
Advanced change agents: pathways
Pathway 1:
Existing advanced change agents delivering cascade training to new change agents
Pathway 2:
Existing change agents training to become advanced change agents
Pathway 3:
Aspiring change agents
Pathway 1: Cascade Training
Resources
• Existing training materials (SLC, PDA and E-Guide)
• New online training modules (SLC,PDA and E-Guide)
launched
• New tools and resources launched 2010
-Teaching and Learning Central [summer]
- Media Content Packager [summer]
- Cascader
Activity – Online modules
Harnessing the change agent resources
1. Read the activity handout
2. Discuss the key questions
3. Feedback three ideas for ways in which you
could use the online resources
Modular online training programme
Pathway 2: Draft modules (working titles)
Induction Getting started
Module 1(core)
Supporting whole organisational improvement in teaching and learning
Module 2(core)
Designing and implementing professional development programmes for change agents
Module 3 (elective)
Enhancing skills and applying techniques
Module 4(elective)
Using technology to support the change agent role in contributing to whole organisation change
Module 5(elective)
Supporting improvements in teaching and learning with STEM
Activity – ACA modular programme
1. Read the activity handout
2. Discuss the key questions
3. Discuss emerging issues and questions
Pathway 3: Creating change agents
• Online PDA, E-Guide and SLC materials
• LSIS Learning Fairs to provide additional support
• Opportunity for trained change agents to go on and
become trained as advanced change agents.
Ongoing development
Creating a regional infrastructure to support:
• Delivery
• Assessment
• Moderation
• Recognition
Moving forward with modular programme
• Further development and consultation
• Launch Summer 2011
