Learning Summary: Dual Professional Roles

There are high expectations of tertiary educators in the 21st century. This module has given you the opportunity to learn a more about those expectations, reflect on them and relate them to your own job.

Your portfolio is the place to pull all this learning together.

Collating Evidence

Some ideas for what you could use as evidence:

• Excerpts from your learning journal or whatever format you were using to record and keep track of your learning
• A bibliography (referenced list) of what you have read during your exploration of this module.
• An annoted bibliography (a referenced list with your own notes added, of all that you have read) - not familiar with annotated bibliographies? - check out Annotated Bibliographies or Writing an Annotated Bibliography or Annotated Bibliographies: What they are and how to prepare one
• Notes of your reflections on conversations you were part of
• Links to shared learning or discussions on Moodle
• Teaching materials

Tell your story...

Now:

Tell your story about how you identify what it means to be a dual professional as both a tertiary educator and expert practitioner in the workplace.

This could include : What was it like moving from a specialty area into education and becoming an educator?

What are the things that you had to learn / are still learning about to be an educator?

What does it mean to you to be a tertiary educator?

Remember to:

• explain your choice of evidence, identifying why and how it relates to the learning outcome and your work
• explore what you have learned and the relevance of this to your work
• discuss how your new learning has impacted on your practice and influenced future actions you may take
• support your story with educational literature and other forms of information

Don't forget to support this with the evidence of your learning.

As a guide if writing your story this should only be a page or two long.

Submit this section (Unit 1) of your portfolio to your course facilitator for feedback. Email to Heather or notify her of your portfolio location.
