Reflecting on your professional development

Well done for reaching the final part of the course, where you’ll review your learning and record your professional development. Jane and Mark will record their reflections of the course discussions and will upload their video above. We’ll let you know by email when it’s available. Do take a look as if they’ve asked for your consent, your comments might be included!

This step focuses on your reflection grids and revisits your self-audit tasks. In the next step you’ll be able to ask any outstanding questions directly to the course authors (or if you are joining us later, watch their responses to other learners). The final step of the course explains how to claim your STEM Certificate and the next steps for your professional development.
