It will provde a comprehensive introduction to national quality arrangements and procedures that help colleges ensure the best possible student experience. Participants will be encouraged to consider how best to use these arrangements and procedures in their role to identify and bring about change for their students.
The training will provide a valuable addition to your planned induction for new officers - looking at why quality matters to students and how to use it to make change.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
- Student partnership and why it is important.
- The role of national agencies and how they support your work.
- The national quality arrangements that assure the quality of colleges in Scotland.
- Different developments in the sector and how you can engage with these to improve your students’ learning experience.
