Broad education firmly on the agenda
ROC Friese Poort is a large ROC with multiple locations in Friesland. In total, ROC Friese Poort provides vocational education for approximately 15,000 students. Besides learning a trade, ROC Friese Poort sees it as their social mission to train students to become agile, empathetic, enterprising people who dare to act with value. In recent years, broad education has become increasingly firmly placed on the school's agenda.
Getting education professionals and students to work together
Established the Broad Education Practorate in 2018, with the mission to contribute to the development of the MBO in the field of broad education through practical research and innovation. On the one hand, the practorate consists of an incubator with program developers and researchers from both inside and outside the school. On the other hand a workshop with representatives from different locations of ROC Friese Poort who fulfill an inspiring and coordinating role at their own location.
The responsibility of The Bildung Academy within the incubator focuses on the following two questions:
- How can we initiate and maintain a movement in which educational professionals and students of ROC Friese Poort together give substance to broad education?
- How can we inspire that movement with knowledge and courses of action?
Combining supply and demand
A combination of demand- and supply-driven work in which we develop and devise various initiatives.
Inspiration to realize broad education
With a voucher scheme, a budget has been exempted for students, with which they can undertake their own initiatives to stimulate broad education. A menu has also been developed for education professionals with which they can follow activities to inspire or realize broad education. With short inspiration sessions, two-day learning courses and customized support for education professionals.
In addition, the publication "Brede Vorming op ROC Friese Poort" has been developed, providing perspectives and questions for help. This enables educational professionals to investigate for themselves how they can and want to work with broad education in their own context.
An inspiring collective with critical questions
De Bildung Academie is capable of asking critical questions at the right moment because, before you know it, the true purpose of education is once again overshadowed. They assist us in creating the underlying foundations for that and continue to act as a critical friend.
