2. Case study of teaching practice (500 words) ‘Plan for and support student learning’

Case Study 2 Activity

For the three case studies, I have:

Given a brief background of your teaching context below
Presented a thorough evaluation of the issue, drawing on (e.g.) my own experience, feedback from students, colleagues’ perspectives, and ideas from the literature.
Identified implications and specific actions arising from the evaluation.
Committed to next steps through e.g. a timed action plan 14 weeks on Padlet
Used links and cited sources where appropriate, with a terminal reference list in the Harvard style
Added each case study to your blog here:

Brief: See image below

Intro and Background:

Teaching on Diploma in Professional Studies (both year 2 and Year 3) across multiple areas of design, gives many opportunities to enhance the careers and employability. Challenges are year 3 are working internationally in different time zones and there are around 100 students across the below diverse areas of design:

Evaluation

Knowing and meeting the needs of Diverse learners V1,V3

Planning and teaching for effective learning via teams globally

Assessing learning and exchanging feedback in group sessions 121s and on teams remotely if they’re working internationally in another time zone.

Moving Forward

I intend to plan for and support student learning through appropriate approaches and environments.

Seminars

Teaching challenges are giving students the tools they need to enter industry
Teaching opportunities are connecting them with mentors, work placements improving careers and employability improving portfolio and cover letter and website and connecting them with agency partners

Teaching challenges are not being able to share as broadly
Teaching opportunities are developing portfolio and website in detail

Group Tutorials
Teaching challenges are not getting into the detail enough
Teaching opportunities are sharing broadly each others examples

C of P
Teaching challenges are not getting into individual detail or support
Teaching opportunities are sharing broad examples of their portfolios or work

Plan and support Students through appropriate approaches and environments

12 February: Workshop 2A – Aims and outcomes
In this workshop I undertook a group reading activity on curriculum design. I learned about the principle of constructive alignment, which ensures educational outcomes, activities and assessment correspond with overarching aims, and applied it to my own teaching context. I will consider the ways in which educational outcomes are measured, and how those measurements influence teaching practice. I will draft and exchange peer feedback on Case Study 2: Plan for and support student learning through appropriate approaches and environments.

Blog 2 Case study of teaching practice

Plan for and support student learning through appropriate approaches and environments,

Given a brief background of your teaching context:
My teaching is on the Diploma in Professional studies (sandwich year out in industry) for design stdents across 7 areas of desing from UX to spatial design.
Presented a thorough evaluation of the issue, drawing on (e.g.) your own experience, feedback from students, colleagues’ perspectives, and ideas from the literature:
The issue of supporting student learning in DPS is the hybrid nature of the course and students physically located globally so the support must be hybrid
Identified implications and specific actions arising from the evaluation:
Actions arising are more support from industry professional and direct links to employment with agencies and networking connections.
Committed to next steps through e.g. a timed action plan:
My timed action plan is for the portfolio speed mentoring session 2025 plan and invite 20 industry specialists and chase each 3 times until we have a real strong line up.
