It is our aim to help all our learners become ready for the next stage of their path, be this employment or further education. To help them do this, we have developed the ROCCIT framework, which emphasises the importance of Resilience, Organisation, Communication, Community, Initiative and Teamwork.
ROCCIT is embedded across all our schools, with each one using it in their own way to support goal setting, rewards, and progress tracking.
GRW
At GRW our aim is to guide pupils in the right direction and to help them acquire the ROCCIT competencies along the way. We focus on acknowledging the gradual acquisition of those competencies by awarding 'forward steps' but equally by correcting 'backwards stumbles'. During Pathways lessons, pupils receive their direction data, which they can read through and log on their personal site. Pathways sites provide an appropriate platform for pupils to see their total 'steps and stumbles' and subsequently which competencies they are developing in and which they perhaps need to work on acquiring. This reflective direction can then provide the basis for personal target setting.
GRK
At GRK we aim to ensure that all pupils are rewarded for their positive behaviours. Our aim is to target and reward specific behaviours - Kindness, Curiosity and Change alongside the ROCCIT competencies. We focus on rewarding and acknowledging changed behaviour. During individual coaching, pupils begin to look at small targets and goals that will demonstrate positive behaviour change; this is bespoke to them, giving them an equally fair chance of being rewarded 'Change Points'.
GRC
Over the course of the year at GRC we explore the ROCCIT competencies in depth, helping learners understand why they are so important to leading successful and productive lives. When students, through project work or any other aspect of their time in GRC, demonstrate competency in any part of ROCCIT, staff will award citations which detail the work done and how it demonstrated the ROCCIT competency. These citations will be added to the student's portfolio. This combination of evidence and testimonial will be something the learner can take pride in showing others.
Learners will leave GRC with a Personal Online Profile, a portfolio of experiences and achievements that reflect a period of accelerated personal growth. This portfolio will be available for learners to present and continue building, forever.
