What is NStEP Class Rep Training?
NStEP’s Introductory Class Rep Training is designed to introduce new reps to key concepts and practical tools to help them succeed in their role. Over 1000 student representatives across Ireland have already participated for the 2020-21 academic year, and 99% say they would recommend the training to other reps!
Training covers four key areas:
• student engagement and partnership in the context of the student rep role
• the Student Learning Experience tool, and how it can be used to gather and evaluate feedback from your class
• the class rep feedback cycle
• strategies for communicating feedback effectively
Some of our experienced student trainers have put together a short video below explaining more about the training, and why Class Reps should participate.
