| Summary of Module |
|---|
Work Based Learning is a crucial element in formative and academic training. This module allows the student to reflect on their own learning and training so far, and enables them to identify key areas for further development. It is a block placement normally ten weeks in duration, and is undertaken within the overall guidelines and policies of the SBC relating to WBL. (See WBL Pack available to enrolled students.)
A Learning Agreement is negotiated between student, Module Co-ordinator and the College-approved WBL Supervisor. Through discussion the student is encouraged to identify their own learning and training requirements, looking to previous learning and WBL experience. Aims and objectives of the WBL experience are then formulated, and assessment content agreed and approved at the outset of the placement.
Through the submission of weekly theologically reflective journal entries, students will receive formative feedback encouraging them to develop their learning through reflection and allowing entries to be developed prior to submission for summative assessment.
Students on WBL have the opportunity to apply previous learning in a vocational context, to reflect theologically on their own and others’ experience, to accompany and interact with a practicing supervisor, and through the WBL experience, begin to understand the practice, dynamics and key issues of leadership in a localised context.

| Equality and Diversity |
|---|
Aligned with the overall commitment to equality and diversity stated in the Programme Specifications, the module supports equality of opportunity for students from all backgrounds and with different learning needs. Using Moodle, learning materials will be presented electronically in formats that allow flexible access and manipulation of content (part-time and distant learning students should check with their programme leader for any queries). The module complies with University regulations and guidance on inclusive learning and teaching practice. Specialist assistive equipment, support provision and adjustment to assessment practice will be made in accordance with UWS policy and regulations. The University’s Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Policy can be accessed at the following link: http://www.uws.ac.uk/equality/
As a Christian theological college, students should be aware that teaching, discussion and the college's ethos is from a confessional viewpoint. The college actively encourages an environment of openness and religious tolerance, but the main function of the college is the training of ministerial candidates and the learning environment will be supportive of this.
Where students need additional support, this is provided by the college team with reference if appropriate to other UWS colleagues, when they are referred to Student Support Services for further assistance. In consultation with the student, the needs of individual students are met, wherever practicable, and every effort made to ensure individual students are not disadvantaged.
