Gro
Gro helps students assess themselves in five different areas: confidence, locus of control, living in the present, managing transition and dealing with uncertainty. Students complete questionnaires, reflect on past experiences and look at student narratives, all embedded in the University experience. It provides students with a sense of what their abilities are in these areas and to develop a clear, specific plan should they need to.
Important... read first: Gro is a teaching and learning resource and, while it might be used by individuals, it is designed to be deployed as part of a supported PDP/CDL process. Gro is versatile and brings together issues of career choice, student emotions and personality. Career choice demands knowledge and learning and to achieve this you need the right frame of mind to get started and to persevere.
