Help at enrolment week and write your own learning plan

What is going on

Enrolment week for term four runs from 5 October. Amrit Gill has asked you to help at the enrolment table in the foyer. You will sit with new learners, go through the Learner Enrolment and Support Needs Form with them, explain the privacy statement in plain words and add each person to the Learner Register. One of the people you enrol, Daniel Waters, wears a hearing aid and wants the Cafe skills program, and another has never used a computer and is nervous about it. Amrit also wants you to write your own learning plan: what you want to be able to do by December, what you find hard, and what job or study you are aiming for.

Your brief

Enrol two new learners accurately and respectfully using the form, the privacy statement and the Learner Register, make sure their support needs are recorded, and produce your own learning plan with clear goals, the help you need and the steps you will take this term.

Work through it

You do not need to do it all. Doing a few of these will show you what the work is like. Your ticks and notes stay on this device.

• Read the Learner Enrolment and Support Needs Form and the Privacy and Information Policy, then practise explaining the privacy statement to Amrit in plain words without reading it aloud.
• Sit with Daniel Waters, go through the form with him, position yourself so he can see your face, record his support needs and what he wants to be able to do at the end.
• Enter Daniel in the Learner Register with his course, support needs, placement area None yet and status Enrolled, and check the spelling of his name with him.
• Enrol the second learner who is nervous about computers, record the support the hub will offer and book them into the Thursday computer room session in the Room and Program Bookings system.
• File both forms in the locked cabinet and give each learner the welcome sheet, explaining the timetable and the map in a few sentences.
• Write your own learning plan: three things you want to be able to do by December, two things you find hard and the help you need, and the job or study you are aiming for.
• Take part in the learning centre team catch-up on Friday and tell the team one thing that worked well at the enrolment table and one thing you would change.
• Read the Inclusion, Respect and Code of Conduct Policy and note two ways you made the enrolment table welcoming for people who were nervous.

What someone in this role would produce

• Two completed enrolment forms
• Two Learner Register entries and one computer room booking
• Your written learning plan
• Notes from the team catch-up
