This Teaching Principles for Learning Support Roles course consists of 20 structured modules, followed by an assessment, each designed to develop awareness of educational principles and learning support practice.
The course begins with understanding the learning process, exploring how learners acquire knowledge and skills. Increasing your expertise focuses on reflective practice and continuous improvement in support roles.

Assessing a student’s performance introduces assessment awareness and observation rather than grading or formal evaluation. Giving effective feedback explores constructive communication that supports learner development.
Personal professional development focuses on reflective growth and learning pathways. Developing presentation, communication, active listening, interpersonal, and confidence skills support effective interaction within learning environments.
Time management and stress management examine personal wellbeing and organisation within educational settings. Supervising others introduces awareness of responsibility and teamwork in support roles.
