A case study that sought to evaluate the role of Advanced Practitioners and explored the functions and values of the AP role within the partnership's quality improvement priorities.
This is a project where the partnership wanted to explore ways to enhance induction processes and support for new tutors, develop practitioner led resources to support all tutors, extend the role of their existing APs and maximise the benefit of exchanging practice.
The project delivery team aimed to agree the focus and timescales of the work, establish the metrics to be used to measure the progress and mpact of planned activities on the tutors and determine the process for sharing practice which included montly video/telephone conferences betwene project leads.
A case study of a project seeking to raise the profile and accessibility of advanced practitioners to staff as a means of driving quality improvements in teaching, learning and assessment across their organisations.
A toolkit for, and case study exploring, a project that placed teacher staff in industry work placements to accrue experience, then cascaded their experiences to colleagues, and ultimately endeavoured to improved students' learning experiences.
In this Education and Training Foundation National Technical Programme outstanding teaching, learning and assessment (OTLA) project Blackburn, Bolton, and Nelson and Colne colleges trialled an approach to employer engagement to boost the skills of digital teachers and align technical qualifications with the Post-16 Skills Plan and T-levels. The project supported teachers to bring real-world learning into the classroom; deliver an employer-led curri
Abingdon and Witney College worked with industry/vocational experts to deliver outstanding teaching, learning, and assessment (OTLA) in programming for robotics and automation and simultaneously upskill college staff in an area of engineering critical to the future of the sector. Selecting a mandatory, externally assessed BTEC engineering unit which required programming expertise outside of that held by the college’s engineering and computing staff, the project paired an industry expert and a teacher to co-deliver the programming elements of the BTEC unit.
A case study, along with research resources, exploring a project that aimed to bring together training providers and employers to revisit the current construction curriculum and develop it further to meet the specific skills needs and gaps of local employers.
A project aiming to investigate why sharing effective practice was not being done well and why it didin't have any impact.
The colleges in this project were keen to look at teaching and learning in the round and create a joint practice development approach to continuing professional development (CPD).
