Award: CeP    Date awarded: 2019

Kevin Brazant has a background in education having worked with students with a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) and SEN needs in both Further and Higher Education. A fellow with the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and currently supports students studying Youth and Community Development and Social Work at London Metropolitan University. His research interests include BAME attainment, widening participation and compassionate and creative pedagogy in Higher Education. He has gained recognition for his use of film production and podcasting in education and has received the Adiaha Antigha and OLMEC awards for outstanding economic contribution in education, particularly for working with BAME students.

I would like to support other learning developers through sharing practice and tips particularly the use of debate, discussion and dialogic pedagogy in supporting student learning. I am also willing to share creative approaches to developing learning communities, relationality and a sense of belonging among students, particularly around widening participation, BAME, SpLD and those at risk of withdrawal and non-continuation. I have good examples of working with student success coaches and PASS Scheme facilitators to support peer-assisted learning and development.
