Technical Route - Construction:
One of the barriers to developing maths and English skills during work placement is a lack of awareness and in depth understanding of how maths and English GCSE’s and FS link to occupational areas within the 15 technical routes. These flyers attempt to summarise that mapping. Job roles are considered, recognising the importance of the technical skills that employers need plus promoting maths and English skills under calculation and communication.

This website is a valuable resource for teachers who are working with students with a variety of special needs. The training materials will help teachers to improve their understanding and skills and deliver quality learning to all students.

This Lincoln College ETF/OTLA project focused on innovation in ILT for teaching, learning and assessment. This simple worksheet uses QR codes as a way of integrating mobile technologies such as smart phones into the learning process. The QR codes help learners access information about different sorts of timber used in construction so they can choose which ones are appropriate for various elements of a building.

These short clips show post-16 practitioners and learners in a range of settings engaged in active learning activities aimed at developing skills to successfully complete vocational programmes and associated maths qualifications. The main aim is to support practitioners to reflect on and develop their practice; several of the clips could also be used to engage relatively reluctant learners.
