One of the barriers to developing maths and English skills during work placement is a lack of awareness and in depth understanding of how maths and English GCSE’s and FS link to occupational areas within the 15 technical routes. This poster attempts to summarise that mapping for tractor driving and maintenance within the technical route of Agriculture, Environment and animal care.
A series of case studies investigating ways to address inconsistencies in staff use of digital technologies to support and enhance teaching, learning and assessment
The Digital Educators Programme sought to support practitioners to investigate the use of technology to engage and enhance the learner experience and promote use of technology among immediate colleagues.
The project was designed to explore the impact of ‘digital home study support’ on the confidence and performance of learners on our maths and English programmes and the mothers of children in the secure estate. Strategies to improve engagement and enhance the quality of the learning experience on these programmes were largely successful although tutors continued to report that learners were reluctant to take responsibility for their learning and continue with their studies at home. In the secure estate, the parents we worked with were experiencing increasing difficulty in trying to keep up to date with what their children were doing in school, which in turn made visits and maintaining positive family relationships much harder.
Digital Feedback was a collaborative project between Havant and South Downs College and Capital City College Group that sought to explore the effectiveness of digital feedback in post-16 education. Research indicated that both audio and video methods positively influence learner perceptions of feedback in Higher Education. This project aimed to begin to build the same evidence base for Further Education by investigating staff and learner perceptions of digital feedback.
An effective good practice case study highlighting a clearer idea of the strategy to develop English and maths through work experience and developing learner’s awareness of opportunities to develop English and maths skills in the workplace
A case study of Huddersfield New College (HNC) who received an Ofsted Outstanding grade and was the first college nationally to receive outstanding grades for all aspects of its work.
This is a short PowerPoint presentation which senior leaders and/or managers can use to help within team meetings or CPD as a training resource. It is designed to support staff to recognise the importance of initial assessment, and to consider other types of assessment throughout the study programme.
This is a short PowerPoint presentation which staff can use with learners to prompt discussion in groups or individual tutorials. The aim is for personalised learner targets which are mapped to career goals to maximise learner progress.
This resource promotes continuous professional development for staff on improving the impact of tutorials and reviews through effective learner monitoring and progress.
