A development opportunity

…what we would like from it

Integrated professional development

…what we don’t want from it

Encourage the non-enthusiasts

We tried… (for Unit 1)• Video, discussion-based evidence

• Emphasis on reflection and improvement

and found…• Evidence collection was easy

• ….but was it achieving our goals and meeting the standards?

Some Questions

• Is the evidence we produced sufficient?

• Was it an efficient method of staff development?

• Would the approach work for less experienced staff?

Next…• Need to explore use of video

evidence further (other units?)

• Would like to pilot with College Departments (teaching teams)

• Is this the right method?

•Priorities re-inforced
