Set standards

Set expectations

Not all information can be absorbed within two days.

Timing of presentations

Curriculum areas more prepared - Text to students to inform group

Like coming directly into the hall for induction

Raise issues about expectations

Students get all the information rather than relying on tutors giving all the information

To change:

Make sure students know which group they are in

Could go on timetable

Could be repeated for late starters/comers

Contingency for late starters needed

Is it worth capturing who attended to follow-up?

Use induction checklist on Promonitor

Video for late comers - more powerful to do F2F

Run a report following as survey to identify areas that need reinforcing

Group induction useful for adults too

Not clear about what happened in curriculum

Not enough time in curriculum areas with teachers

Could have slots for all induction and assign activities to each slot

A generic Handbook with specific curriculum area information added

Manage register marks

Change automated messages to parents

Standardise as much as possible

Ready to go before the summer - create the schedule

Calculating numbers and spaces required for group presentations

Interactive displays for timetable checks (including induction timetable).

MyDay training for students - how to access timetables.

Checklist of induction activities.

Induction pack/booklet to cover key aspects of induction and starting college.

Engaging curriculum activities built into induction.
