It had a subject focus on sport, dance and physical activity and aimed to develop existing innovative approaches within these areas to enhance students’ vocational, leadership and entrepreneurial skills. Building on novel community, industry and business partnerships, the CETL developed models for lifelong learning through experiential opportunities in organisations dedicated to performance enhancement and the pursuit of a healthy and active lifestyle. These distinctive approaches, as they relate to the professional practice of education and science students, explored and utilised to enable students to become ‘leading learners’ as well as, at the same time, be ‘learning to lead’.
The overarching aim of the CETL was to develop the curriculum in ways that go beyond traditional concepts of work-based and work-related learning. In structuring a curriculum that will enable students to become ‘leading learners’, the outcome was a whole curriculum approach that promotes good learning for good employability.
