Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The teaching methods recognise the importance of learners learning about context, content and processes for their own individual and organisational development of advanced professional practice.
The teaching and learning methods support achievement of the module’s learning outcomes. The processes of teaching and learning, within this blended learning module, include but are not limited to the following: Face-to-face and online opportunities to acquire knowledge and understanding of theory in practice are provided through attending lectures, listening to and watching podcasts and/or videos, reading and research, and work-based and reflective learning. Learning through dialogue, discussion and collaboration, in face-to-face teaching and online, enables students to articulate, respond to and provide feedback on theory, knowledge and practice application, and to question and challenge their work-based practices. Collaborative social learning, online and in the classroom, is a hallmark of the module and will involve peer learning, co-production of knowledge and ideas about practice, and feedback.
As a post-experience programme, contextualising theory in practice requires not only academic input but also practitioners’ knowledge and expertise and, therefore, some lectures or workshops will be taught by adjunct staff. Reflection on practice, through completion of a reflective journal, supports the learner to evaluate their understanding of the relevant subject knowledge, and to question and challenge their work-based practices, through applying and integrating theory in practice.
Students are expected to enhance their face-to-face and online learning by independent reading and enquiry, for which they are given guidance on relevant materials.

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Formative Feedback
Formative feedback is provided throughout the module by encouraging learners to respond to questions and engage
in reflection, dialogue, debate and discussion in online and face-to-face contexts. Collaborative learning, online and in the classroom, is a hallmark of the module and involves co-production of knowledge and ideas about practice, and feedback.
Summative Feedback
The module assessment enables learners to achieve the learning outcomes and to consolidate their learning by
articulating their conceptual understanding and how it is used in practice. It comprises:
A critical analysis, of 3,000 words, of the learner's coaching and/or mentoring identity using coaching and mentoring theory which represents the learner's position in relation to the field and ethical practice.
Summative feedback on the assessment will include ‘feed forward’, enabling learners to improve future academic
and/or practice action.
