Development

My intent as a Development Instructor is to progressively enhance resilience in others by using my unique development techniques, and ethos of empowerment. My expertise gained through military service and dedication to my chosen field of expertise, has enabled me to build a Development Curriculum. The array of attributes I possess and my personal challenges, allows me to connect with you. No matter what your sector. 

Below is an overview of the curriculum modules, each of which is broken down into concurrent sessions:

An Introduction to Fitness & Well being

A progressive insight into the benefits of personal fitness and its positive connection to well being. I continue to evolve and test this part of the curriculum in competitive environments, to ensure the content remains relative. During these module learners will focus on the practical fundamentals of physical development, including an insight into the theory of Proprioceptors.

Teamwork and Togetherness

Teams are groups of people whom all understand their individual roles, and value the roles of others when working to achieve a common goal. I pride myself on my delivery when transitioning this understanding of resilience over this module of our curriculum. Empowering one another when high performance is demanded, is a skill set I have successfully nurtured in many diverse & demanding environments. During some classroom based sessions learners will be introduced into a Plan/Do/Review way of achieving, and given the opportunity to test this together via varied practical tasks.

An Introduction to Survival Skills

This part of the curriculum focuses on the basics of human survival in the wild, and an introduction on best safe practice when in a camping environment. I believe my experience and expertise in this field is priceless, as a former professional soldier I possess the proven ability to provide expert relevant and correct foundation information that always engages groups, and encourages learners to transition this knowledge to promote confidence when faced with independent living.

Interventions & SMSC

The Interventions and SMSC modules are dedicated to the challenging issues of self-understanding and tolerance. I will address the Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural diversity of our country, and aim to develop a respectful understanding of the protected identities. During times of conflict the British Armed Forces have often successfully relied on their abilities of communication, and de-escalation to solve a dispute. I aim to provide learners with an insight of how this fantastic skill is achieved.

Our Country

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland takes centre stage in many successes throughout history, and is rich in talent and professionalism. In this module, I will focus on the importance of recognising moments of British history and those involved. Also, to develop an understanding of democracy in our society. Reinforce the importance of the uniqueness of our Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Education System and roles and responsibilities of the Royal Family. 

Prior Preparation

I possess very strong core values and standards that compliment an ethos of ‘Prior planning and preparation, prevents poor performance’. The aim of this module is to assist learners to develop an understanding of personal action plans. During the modules learners are taken on an EdVenture (Educational Adventure) of organisational life skills, which reinforce self-belief when challenged outside of a comfort zone. I currently apply this module to myself in everyday life, as I believe the path to being a role model is to practice what we preach. I have proven in many challenging environments that the correct prior preparation can promote well being, and avoid rash decision making. The aim of this module is to assist learners to transition these abilities to raise self-esteem when faced with anxious tension brought about by Studying, Interviews or Public Speaking.
