Feedback in various forms indicates that these behaviours work………so far

  • Valuing students (in various forms) will develop their self belief

and their aspirations

  • Keeping an unnecessary professional distance is counter-

productive

  • Developing genuine rapport also provides the context for genuine

challenge

  • Providing opportunities to take responsibility to assist others is

massively helpful

  • Students are inspired by the development of their peers
  • Always communicate as quickly as possible
  • Provide prompt, targeted, personalised feedback
  • Don’t be threatened by student success

Continued…..

  • Students need to see that you really care about your subject
  • Provide opportunities rather than appointments for tutorial

support (if at all possible)

  • Start from where students are
