Stepping Up - quality standards for young deaf learners in further education

etf:3055

These six quality standards have been drafted to ensure greater consistency of provision and to improve outcomes for deaf young people. They are supported by case studies and further resources. They apply to young people with all levels of deafness including those without Education, Health and Care Plans. The six standards are relevant to all providers across the FE sector. They aim to support further education providers to: • evaluate the quality of their provision for deaf learners • inform the development of policies and plans • promote good practice.

Empowering teaching and learning communities to promote equality and celebrate diversity

etf:3003

Building on existing policies and procedures they used a combination of approaches, which included opportunities for groups of staff to openly discuss the challenges and opportunities which the general subject of E and D presented. This encouraged them to develop a bank of locally tested and validated resources and reworked ideas for E and D teaching alongside attendance at relevant community events such as College Pride. Learners contributed by exploring how E and D in teaching, learning, and assessment might better reflect their concerns, experiences and gaps in knowledge.
