As part of the OTLA National Technical Programme, Harlow College worked with a group of other providers to develop a CPD package that aimed to improve teaching, learning and assessment in Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction.
The main focus was to upskill the practiitoners within their own specialist fields of expertise and challenge them to develop more innovative practice within the classroom.
Manager practitioners from a number of colleges became fully aware of the nature of T- Levels and are beginning to prepare their staff for their future introduction; The participating colleges have begun to build relationships with new employers; Staff and managers from these colleges have gained skills in subject related technologies New teaching methods have been introduced to the manager practitioners and there is evidence that both they and their colleagues are experimenting with these different methods;There is now an enthusiasm for collaboration amongst manager practitioners and there have already been examples of managers visiting each other and sharing specialist equipment and resources.
