Member focus


Teacher Michelle Theophilus is a member of our Practitioner Advisory Group (PAG) and is currently undertaking QTLS. She tells us a little bit about how her membership of SET supports her professional and


career development.


“I became a member of SET to further improve my own professional teaching and learning and to continue improving my practice. SET offered a great way of doing this and has enabled me to network with other teaching professionals in a positive environment. “Since becoming a member of SET, I have discovered a wealth of useful benefits. In particular I have used InTuition, SET’s online research library, and the Professional Standards Research Map, attended webinars and used the Law Express facility. “I have found the publications, research material and webinars extremely useful for finding up-to- date research and information that is relevant to my teaching. They have supported me in my planning and provided me with strategies to use with my learners. “The online research library has helped with my QTLS application and the research map has been a useful reference tool to use in line with my CPD. Law Express were prompt and responsive, helping me with an employment-related query. “Being part of a Practitioner Advisory Group (PAG) is an excellent way to stay in touch with professionals and make a difference in promoting SET and the benefits it can offer other teachers. I’ve also been able to use some of the ideas shared in my own classroom.”


Louise Fowler is a Fellow of SET. She works for Babcock International as one of their Senior Defence Trainers. Babcock has a team of more than 1,000 instructors that continually develop their professional skills


to ensure cutting-edge training year on year.


“Since becoming a SET Fellow, I have had lots of invitations to events. This is vital to any practitioner as you get to share your effective practice as well as learn from others.


“Having met with other trainers through SET, I have been inspired to try new ideas, challenge some of my own perceptions and learn more about an ever-growing industry that fascinates me. “Babcock International have supported me and my fellow trainers to join SET as it offers good-quality CPD that is value for money. “Having staff who are part of SET promotes a


strong sense of professional identity and ensures that our staff are part of a lively community of practice.”
