Abstract: The path to becoming a professional requires a rich combination of skills, attributes and knowledge. This requires dynamic and holistic approaches to education and the meaningful engagement of students at a personal and academic level. Professor Ingram will provide a range of ideas that have emerged from his research including the importance of self knowledge, emotional intelligence and motivation. He proposes a framework for supporting students to have a positive and effective experience of professional development for teachers, social workers and other student groups.
