This toolkit is offering a step-by-step guide to creating staff-student partnerships for use by providers and reflects the key findings from four pilots.
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.
Taking a proactive and creative approach that aimed to unlock potential and transform prisoners' lives, this national technical outstanding teaching, learning and assessment (OTLA) project by Weston College Prison Education Service sought to carve a pathway from entry into prison to entry into an apprenticeship on release from prison.

A case study exploring a project to embed a sustainable and aspirational culture which improved teaching practice, and to develop a small, grass roots study that could be used to inspire staff to further develop positive outcomes by focusing on developing growth mindsets
Entry-level immersive technology has reached a price and complexity point where it is now accessible to the average classroom, but how can teachers effectively integrate immersive technologies into their lessons? It's this question that a partnership of Sussex training providers sought to answer in 2018 through the Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment programme (OTLA 3).
A case study exploring a project that sought to explore how behavioural sciences could support teaching, learning and assessment, i.e. if a small, simple intervention could have significant positive impact, and to effectively build an evidence-base related to this through robust testing
