Activity 12

The flexible learning plan I have put together fits with the Otago Polytechnic Strategy through the humanistic vision statement,

‘Our personalised approach to vocational learning motivates students and

staff to reach their full potential, and to master new skills and knowledge’

(OP 2008-2012)

The organisation promotes learner centered learning and with this approach aims to ‘inspire capability’.

Otago Polytech (2008 – 2012) aims to ‘respect the knowledge that learners bring.’

With the diverse range of learners on the Certificate in Veterinary Nursing course a key element of my plan is to encourage the more experienced class members to share their knowledge and build on it as a group.

The statement in the strategy document that is most important to me is that,

‘Our graduates are sought after/preferred by employers’

For me, the aim of developing the flexible learning plan is to provide a suitably varied and engaging learning environment where it is possible for OP VN students, in all their glorious diversity, can be inspired and motivated to become a Veterinary Nurse. A professional in the industry with best practice standards and a dedication to life long learning. These are the graduates the industry requires.
