Patchwork
You will be required to produce a 2500 Patchwork of your learning throughout the module, demonstrating the development of your leadership skills and knowledge necessary to work in Health & Social care contexts.
In order to complete this Patchwork assessment, you will need to:
Explore your own engagement in peer and self-review processes (Learning Outcome 1 & 2).
Demonstrate the identification and generation of appropriate evidence or patches in order to evidence your engagement with Leadership and Education in your professional / interprofessional environments. (Learning Outcome 2 and 3).
Produce an individually justified Personal Leadership Plan (PLP) (Learning Outcome 4).
What is a Patchwork assessment?
This is where a variety of pieces of work, activities, reflections you engage with throughout the module (which individually are complete in themselves) are woven or stitched together into something new (a patchwork).
This end piece of work or patchwork is your critical commentary, where you pick pertinent or key patches to reflect upon, linking these life experiences to theory.
Throughout the module, and whilst working in your action learning sets, you will be set tasks, activities, and exercises to help you reflect on what you are learning in the module, how you are linking this to wider practice, what this means to you now and how this impacts on the development of your leadership knowledge and skills.
Key Principles of Patchwork assessment:
It is a bespoke and authentic piece of work where you chose the pivotal learning moments which are significant to you to create a “patch”.
It is a continuous process, you are developing skills of synthesising, scrutinising, making sense and reflecting on your learning as you go.
These learning moments are real world learning moments, either from personal experience, observing others, learning from other stories or encounters.
You receive continuous formative feedback in many styles, this could be from supporting your peers and working in your action learning sets, it could be from tutor discussions, it could be from practice mentors etc
