OTLA National Technical Programme - Project Summaries

Resource Type: 
etf
PID: 
etf:3086
Description: 

This document is a summary of the 32 collaborative projects that took place as part of the Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment (OTLA) National Technical Programme. The aim of the programme was to support practitioners to work with employers, as well as each other, to improve and develop the teaching of vocational and technical skills across technical routes. It was the ETF's early response to the Report of the Independent Panel on Technical Education (known as the Sainsbury Review) and the Post-16 Skills Plan, which emphasised the need for a technical teaching workforce that is highly skilled and has a strong understanding of both their technical skillset and teaching techniques. The programme was designed to prepare practitioners and providers for the implementation of the Review and to develop technical skills teaching across the country.
