Reminder: PRAs – Mid Year Reviews

A gentle reminder that it is time, if you haven’t done so already, for you to check-in with your line manager for mid-year reviews.

For Academic Staff please review the progress made against your original objectives as well as discussing and documenting the following activities: engagement with your Learning Coach, CPD Activities and engagement in the Industry Day opportunity.

For Support Staff please review the progress made against your original objectives, as well as discussing and documenting your CPD Activity and opportunity to engage with Mike Watkins as your development coach.

Welcome to our new Specialist Lead for Digital

Rebecca Stephenson recently joined the Teaching, Learning and Development Team to move the college’s approach to digital forward over the coming years.

Rebecca joins us with two decades of experience in technology and education – most recently as Information Security Awareness Specialist at the global law firm Pinsent Mason. Prior to this, Rebecca was an Education Consultant focusing on Innovation, Transformation and Technology in Education and the Arts – having worked as a qualified teacher and Head of Department in various schools and colleges in and around Birmingham. Rebecca has also served as District Councillor for Malvern Hills District.

Rebecca is eager to meet you, and your team, to talk digital as well as other topics such as music, swimming, and rugby. Having only recently relocated to Jersey, from Heredforshire, Rebecca is also keen to find out more about living in Jersey.

The TLD team are excited to have Rebecca on board – so please get in touch, invite her for a coffee, and into your team meetings, over the coming weeks to get to know you and the college.
