Case Study: Brett

Once the literacy diagnostic assessments have been carried out, each learner negotiates a learning agreement with the department's support tutor. This agreement includes three areas. Specific learning goals which identify the priority literacy skills to be developed. Specific learning strategies which will help the learner achieve the goals. How the learner will be supported to achieve the goals.

Case Study: Emilia

All of Emilia's students take part in a significant work placement in the public health field. To make sure this is a valuable experience, they meet with a facilitator to develop a learning agreement. This agreement identifies several aspects. Specific goals for the work placement. One or more professional mentors from within the work placement organisation. How the learner will be supported by academic staff in a mentoring role. The responsibilities of the learner, the institution and the work placement organisation.
