A case study of a project aiming to raise the profile of advanced practitioners with heads of faculty and curriculum area managers.
The APs worked together with the staff identified by the Head of Quality to enhance planning for the use of questioning as a key assessment for learning. This use of action planning was key in moving the AP role and discussions away from the Deficit Model to more developmental approaches. A wide range of coaching approaches, were used from the AP toolkits, which included the GROW model, supported experiments and action research.
This project reported positive responses from tutors and students, and increased engagement from a group who were originally reported to be de-motivated at times. Colleagues working with the APs demonstrated a growth in confidence in using different techniques for Q&A in planning and classroom practice.
