The pedagogy for SOARing to Success/SOAR for Employability is based on a meta-model that animates the complex and recursive inter-relationships between Self Opportunity Aspirations and Results. The concepts and practices associated with these four dimensions are comprehensively published for educators to adopt or adapt within their curricula (see References for relevant publications). SOAR developed through cycles of evaluative pedagogic action research – the approach is empirically and theoretically supported. Since it is universally but flexibly applicable and congruently capable of being contextualised and personalised it has received excellent feedback from diverse groups of staff and students in the UK and some countries overseas. Students gain the greatest benefits when it is embedded as an accredited and assessed process within programmes of study and when they are meaningfully engaged and facilitated through both personal and collective development towards the building of graduate and professional identities.
