Due to Covid-19 restrictions, learning and teaching activities on campus as described in the module descriptors are currently restricted. Learning and teaching will be enabled through a mixture of scheduled online activity where you will be able to engage with your tutor and classmates in real-time and unscheduled guided activity where you will be required to complete activities and tasks at a time which best suits you. Teaching will take place on campus, wherever possible, and where this is safe to happen.

Definitive information on module delivery during 2020/21 will be provided on Module Moodle Sites. For specific enquiries please contact the module leaders directly.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:

The emphasis is on developing practical skills, supported by an understanding of the underpinning theoretical models of guidance and counselling and learning and being able to critique their application, [LO1, 2 and 3].
On campus you will receive face to face teaching; remote learning students will access lecturers via WebEx to introduce you to the skills and concepts in this module. If you are a remote learner work place assessors will offer opportunities for practice interviews. [LO1, LO2]
Learning materials will also be available on Moodle.

Formative Assessment:

Formative assessment for the practical element will take the form of role play interviews and group work peer observation. Tutors and peers will offer feedback to you to aid the learning process. For remote learners work place assessors will offer opportunities for practice interviews and group work. [LO1, LO2]
You will then be coached individually to develop your practice, across a minimum of three separate one-to-one career counselling events and one group work with real clients. This allows for the progressive development of practice skills.

Summative Assessment:

Summative assessment will be by direct observation or audio recording of your performance. This facilitates rapid learning through tutor feedback reinforcing reflection. [LO1,LO2]
LO1 1-1 practical skills will be assessed during weeks 5-12 (25%)
LO2 Group work skills will be assessed during weeks 5-12 (25%)

In week 14 of trimester 2 this will be reviewed and feedback provided to support students in preparation for their summative written assignment. (50%). This is an essay which focuses on the design of a career service delivery model which integrates a suite of one-to-one, group and digital services. [LO3].
