Getting started with Open Badges
Writing evidence for Open Badge applications
You may also find it helpful to complete Things 1 and 2, before starting Thing 3.
Read the materials linked to Thing 3 and write at least 200 words answering the following three questions about leadership in your current role:
- When do you show leadership in your current role? How do you do this?
- Think of a time when you played an important part in changing something for the better. What did you do? What skills did you use?
- Think of the best leader that you’ve ever worked with. What did they do that made them a good leader? How did they make you feel?
