This workshop will focus on preparing assessors for the delivery of Higher Apprenticeships.
Learners studying Higher Apprenticeships need to take ownership of their learning and develop their independence. But… what does this mean, for us, as assessors?
This means a different way of assessing, with more focus on developing independent research and study skills in our learners and being able to identify opportunities for project work that will make a real difference to the employer.
But higher level learners are often too busy to carry out the work!
We will also provide you with solutions to motivate your learners, and support with planning and structuring professional discussions to get the most out of your assessment sessions.
Who is this workshop for?
Assessors delivering Higher Apprenticeships
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the day, delegates would have had the opportunity to:
- explore the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
- explore the importance of intrinsic motivation and how we can empower some learners to switch from extrinsic to intrinsic in order to learn effectively
- recognise the importance of teaching academic study skills, including research skills, to higher apprentices
- explore the planning of, and methods for, carrying out professional discussions in order to maximise time both for the learner and the assessor
