Your visits
Before your visit
Your Learning Innovator visits a normal session for 20 minutes. Teach the way you normally do, with your target in mind.

Reflect
Three questions to think through before your visit.
- Which area are you least sure a visitor will see in 20 minutes?
- What one thing will you change in your plan before the visit?
- What would you like your Innovator to look at with you at the pre-meet?
Your notes include every Green line you have not ticked, with what helps.
The five stops
From the pre-meet to your second visit. Pick one.
The pre-meet
Your Innovator talks through your target and plan, agrees the focus with you and gives you the RAISE visit checklist.
Teach the way you normally would
Choose the session you would have taught anyway.
- Pick the session you were going to teach anyway: the one where you know the group and the content is routine.
- Decide the one thing about your target you would like an outside pair of eyes on, and tell your Innovator when they arrive.
- Tell your learners someone is coming in to look at how the college teaches, not at how they behave.
The RAISE visit checklist
Your Innovator gives you this at the pre-meet.

Your second visit
Pick one.
The final step
By then you will have had plenty of opportunities to engage with CPD and resources, and your Innovator wants to see progress since Visit 1.
20 minutes, the same criteria, and it closes the RAISE year.
