Your role as a quality consultant
“Provide a solid bridge between education and labor market.”
By including inclusion in quality assurance and evaluations, you can work structurally on improvement. Think about accessibility in testing policy, studyability, teacher professionalization and design of the learning environment. In this way you can make inclusion measurable and discussable within your institution.
Inclusive education
“Steering for an inclusive learning environment.“
As a quality advisor you keep an eye on the quality of education and guidance. You test whether these meet agreements made and help improve processes. In inclusive education, every student participates. You check whether education is accessible and whether inclusion is reflected in plans, policies and evaluations. By also involving students and teachers, you contribute to equal opportunities and a safe learning environment for all.
Career guidance and orientation
“Provide a solid bridge between education and labor market.”
As a quality advisor, you monitor whether students are properly prepared for their move into internship or employment. A fair chance does not come naturally to everyone, especially students with support needs. Pay attention to whether career guidance is structurally embedded and whether the guidance meets the different needs of students. Encourage cooperation between programs and internship companies, and make clear agreements about guidance and expectations.
Student Wellbeing
“View of well-being is view of study success.”
As a quality advisor, you keep an eye on the conditions for good education. Student welfare is an important part of this. Psychological pressure, performance pressure or an unsafe climate can directly affect study results, motivation and dropout rates. Therefore, pay attention to whether student welfare receives sufficient attention in policy, guidance and evaluations. Consider identification, appropriate support and a socially safe learning environment. Work with programs and services on an integrated approach that embeds well-being in the quality cycle.
