This Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment project (OTLA), from 2016 - 2017, was a partnership between Petroc College of Further and Higher Education and Plymouth College of Art. It focused on raising teachers’ and learners’ awareness of Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) and its role in identifying skills gaps. It also explored mindfulness as a way of developing soft skills. Outputs included employability resources and a positive introduction to mindfulness for staff and students.

This reference guide aims to provide teachers and trainers in the FE sector with an understanding of the potential impact of autism on learning and how to better support learners to achieve their full potential.

This reference guide aims to provide teachers and trainers in the FE sector with an understanding of the potential impact of dyslexia on learning and how to better support learners to achieve their full potential.

Learning support assistants (LSAs) are the most commonly used form of support in the FE sector – and the most expensive. That makes it especially important for providers to deploy LSAs efficiently and effectively, so that they have a positive impact on learner progress and independence. We have put together an in-house development activity to help you consider how to make the most of the LSAs in your setting. The activity has been designed to be facilitated by managers with SEND responsibilities and undertaken by teams of tutors and LSAs working together.
This report assesses the attainment gap through the lens, first, of children and young people; and secondly, of schools, as well as early years and post16 settings. It highlights and summarises what we believe to be the key issues, and how our analysis of them informs our practical work with teachers and senior leaders.
