The whole organisation approach (WOA) to English, ESOL and maths is where this provision (known as literacy, language and numeracy or LLN) is central to the whole organisation at all levels, ranging from strategic leadership and management to delivery practice. This includes embedding LLN in teaching and learning programmes across a range of learning aims and goals and providing all learners with opportunities to progress and achieve qualifications – approaches that will embed LLN at all levels.
Here is a range of resources, developed through the Workforce Development element of the Skills for Life Support Programme, to help you plan professional development for your staff in literacy (English), language (ESOL) and numeracy (maths) collectively referred to as LLN. To help you use the resources effectively read 'Making the most of the PDP provider kit' which can be found in the Excellence Gateway.

This starter kit is aimed at leaders, managers and practitioners and provides guidance on providing continuing professional development for staff in embedding English, maths and ESOL across the curriculum. Although the resource uses the old Skills for Life terms: literacy, numeracy and language, to describe these subjects all the strategies are still valid. Users should be aware that the documents in the Excellence Gateway identified in this resource may also use the old terminology.
