This presentation put together by City College Norwich, ETF's Centre for Excellence in SEND (community) explains the Access to Work new processes as at the time of creation October 2020.
The Inclusive Employer Induction Tolkit was produced by City College Norwich, ETF's Centre for Excellence in SEND (community). This toolkit shares the current practices at CCN in delivering induction activities to employers of placements and apprenticeships.
The tools and techniques within the toolkit are derived from tried and tested tools that have been used extensively with employers. Each tool has a generic description and can be adapted by you in accordance with the requirements of the organisation.
The Inclusive Toolkit Employer Guide has been created by City College Norwich, ETF Centre for Excellence in SEND (community). It is designed to inform and support all employers in their work with supported interns, apprentices and T Level placements.
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 aimed using research evidence and employer collaboration to improve student success rates in GCSE maths and English resits and reduce the risk of learnerspeople not being in education, employment or training (NEET).
This Outstanding Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (OTLA 3) project, led by Newcastle College working with Community First North East, from 2017 to 2019, was initially designed to encourage collaboration and research among practitioners working in alternative education. It gave practitioners opportunities to explore the ingredients to create truly ‘alternative’ education programmes for young people not in education, employment or training. Early findings revealed the potential the alternative curriculum also had for improving most programmes targeting 16-19-year-olds.
In their Outstanding Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (OTLA 3) project in 2017/18 Kendal College and HMP Haverigg built on a previous Education and Training Foundation (ETF) project piloting the 'Effective Practice Guidelines' (EPGs) for assessment and tracking. They tested EPG-recommended approaches, such as ‘limiting assessment to what is necessary’ and ‘assessing for self-belief and motivation’. They focused on GCSE maths progress (or lack of it) at a microscopic level to enable learners to recognise, record and ‘own’ their progress.
A project aiming to improve attendance, retention and progression of any learners who have challenging lives and to provide learners with a range of coping mechanisms that enable them to focus on a positive future. It also aimed to improve tutors' resilience in ways that help them to deal with and recover from challenging situations with learners.
This action research project, which trialled new exemplar Functional Skills maths and English activities, was part of the ETF Phase 3 Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment programme in 2017/18. The aim was to investigate the newly created activities, to evaluate their effectiveness, and to identify training other teachers might need before using them. The project found that an experienced subject specialist teacher would be able to use the activities but an inexperienced teacher would struggle without guidance.
