10 6 Distinctive features of the programme structure This is an exciting and innovative programme offered to both teaching and non-teaching graduates. It seeks to build upon professional expertise as well as practice. The programme has three pathways and has been designed to attract applicants from a wide variety of teaching and non-teaching roles. It will be the first Masters programme to be offered at Havering College of Further and Higher Education and the first Masters programme to be offered in the area which includes 4 colleges of further education and three sixth form colleges. It is innovative in that it provides a pathway for three target audiences with teaching and non-teaching backgrounds and draws on their collective experiences to Professionalism and Professional Development in the Post Graduate Diploma Critical Studies and Education. For those participants in a teaching role, Module 5 seeks to build upon their classroom expertise through practical observations as a method of assessment. One of the main features, of this Masters programme is that it is both vocational and academic highlighting the cross-disciplinary nature of the degree. Providing a selective approach into the wider perspectives of education and work based learning, the programme encourages healthy debate and discussion, building a deeper knowledge and understanding across a variety of sectors, taking in key aspects of learning through educational theory and policy, strategic methodology, professionalism and whole-organisational practices beyond the role of teaching. It brings the various sectors together as well as practitioners to broaden knowledge of methodologies and policies and sector contexts. The programme aims to develop deep knowledge and understanding of the wider context of teaching, learning and assessment in HE. This programme is in line with the College s commitment to quality assurance and staff development that inspires the notion of sharing good practice. The concept of role-modelling draws on HEA UK Professional Standards and the College s strategic aim to develop its workforce linking both to an FE and HE context. The College is dedicated to improving professional practice and has a commitment to scholarship.
11 7 Support for students and their learning For this programme we anticipate that the majority of participants will be drawn from both internal college staff and external applicants. As part of the student registration on the MA course, the following services will be available on a college level and on a programme level. College-level support offered: HE centres and on-line resources through the college VLE HE student advisors from Student Services (student finances) HE Additional Learning Support - dedicated member of staff who can assist with learning difficulties like dyslexia and for participants who may have English as an additional language (EAL) Applications to DDA for Learning Support HE staff in the LRCs College counsellors for personal issues Staff development budget available for staff HR advice for staff Line-managerial support for staff Programme-level support offered: 1-1Tutorials Access to tutors via outside of sessions Formative feedback Peer and mentor support Feedback: evaluating staff feedback on their work, giving themselves feedback on their own work and giving peers feedback on their assessments (verbal or written)
12 8 Criteria for admission Pathway One Graduates completing the Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching Higher Education (PGCTHE) validated by CICP and the OU (with teaching backgrounds) will be admitted with Advanced Standing via APL ie 60 Level 7 credits. Pathway Two Graduates with a Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Pathway Three Graduates with a degree in any discipline, working in a variety of roles in Education (with a non-teaching background) Participants will need to: hold an honours degree or equivalent demonstrate confident and accurate literacy and numeracy skills to a minimum level 2 demonstrate professional suitability in motivation and enthusiasm for the subject and their career attend an interview and complete a successful entry assessment with the programme team. Where participants are applying through APL, they must show evidence of prior qualifications as well as meet the criteria for level 7. The college HE procedures for APL will apply. Where participants declare additional learning needs, these will be assessed by the College HE learning support team on entry to the programme in order to implement reasonable adjustments and learning support as required. An interview and diagnostic assessment will be arranged and claims for financial support under the Disability Student Allowance Act (DSA) will be guided through HE student services.
13 9 Language of study English. Support may be given to those participants who have English as an additional language. 10 Information about assessment regulations All assessment in the programme will be undertaken in accordance with the new Assessment Regulations OU CICP from September This ensures that the assessment procedures and regulations are common and consistent across all OU validated programmes. 11 Methods for evaluating and improving the quality and standards of teaching and learning. The college and education team use a variety of approaches to collect data for evaluation and course revision/improvement purposes. These will include: Gathering student end-of-module feedback Gathering tutor end of module feedback Programme committee meetings which students attend College survey Focus groups College HE Evaluation documentation Student destinations survey College inspection of teaching and learning Observations of teachers training on the programme
