Project Title: Meeting the Needs of New Groups to HE - A Staff Development Package
Project Leader(s): Sarah Hatfield and Peter Haycock
A staff-training package will be developed to provide comprehensive information about the issues affecting WP students. This will be designed to be applicable specifically to all academic and support staff involved with the academic training or pastoral support of this student group, enabling them to take an informed approach. The relevant departments should then be able to give WP students a more positive learning experience and reduce their drop-out rates. It is intended that the training package will be made available to all current and new academic and support staff through the TLHEP and KKP programmes. This has been discussed with the TLHEP co-ordinator and the Staff Development Unit within Human Resources.The primary intended outcome is a high quality training package that will educate staff with regard to the WP students. Staff who successfully complete the package will have:
- increased understanding of why WP students are different from their peers, the difficulties that they face in reaching HE, and how best to ensure that they have a positive HE experience and do not drop out;
- increased pastoral awareness and the ability to develop support systems in a manner applicable to WP students; and
- knowledge of the diverse range of learning styles adopted by WP students and how to adapt teaching styles to match these, in order to maximise the chances of a WP student being successful in HE.
