Learner Development Tutors
Learning Development Tutors (LDTs) act as the main point of contact for full-time students. They play a key supporting role between lecturing staff and support staff, and each LDT is assigned to a particular curriculum centre where they work in partnership with lecturing staff to support and enhance students’ retention, achievement and progression.
What do LDTs do?
Main LDT duties:
Play a core role in the induction programme for students
Develop and facilitate a clear and relevant weekly timetabled tutorial for their classes, including but not limited to:
Employability
Citizenship
Sustainability
Health and wellbeing
Equality and diversity
Study skills/Time Management
(These are aligned with the Curriculum for Excellence to support the development of students’ essential skills)
Construct an individual learning plan for each student and also hold one-to-one review meetings
Attendance monitoring and addressing absence issues
Act as student disciplinary coordinator, to retain students and promote positive behaviour
Provide non-academic guidance and pastoral support, referring students to appropriate internal and external assistance
Play a key role within curriculum teams, supporting students’ on-course retention, engagement and progression
Strengthen the student voice in conjunction with ECSA through student surveys and the election of class reps
