Motivation to Teach Social Action:
I'm responsible for designing, delivering and evaluating teaching and learning interventions to support students in developing their transferable skills and strengths, and ability to manage their professional development, that will ultimately support their success in graduate level work. As part of this, I lead the design and delivery of interventions that grow student capability as leaders against a framework of collaborative leadership, leading from any position and delivering social change. We utilise the Social Change Model (Astin and Astin, 1996) as a foundation. These activities particularly focus on how 'student leaders' contribute to, and produce change in, the University community. It supports the wider University positioning as a 'University for the Public Good'.
This course development programme will support our continued review and development of leadership and social change interventions that run co-curricular, and potentially assist in the design of a proposed credit bearing module (in very early stages) to harness students existing 'student leader' experiences, reflect on their learning and equip them to expand their confidence, skills and impact.
