This review was produced by the CETTAcademy team as part of an Education and Training Foundation project to review the current literature regarding the practices of initial and diagnostic assessment, as well as progress tracking, in the context of maths and English across the Education and Training sector.
This toolkit has been produced to support the work of Advanced Practitioners (APs). It builds on an original set of cards used to develop the skills of teaching and learning coaches who, using a peer to peer coaching model, work with staff to improve specific aspects of their delivery. The cards are practical tools aimed at supporting APs to drive quality improvements in teaching, learning and assessment across provision. They can be used when working one to one with collages as well as with small groups and department teams.
This resource presents 25 case studies of effective practice in employer engagement activities for learners aged 16 to 17 studying below Level 2. The case studies highlight the ways in which providers from across the FE sector design, recruit to, deliver and evaluate their employer engagement provision. The case studies are grouped by provider type.
This resource is for all types of providers and organisations working across the FE sector with 16 and 17 year olds studying below Level 2. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to design, deliver and evaluate effective employer engagement activities and secure good outcomes for this group of young people on their pathway to higher levels of study and/or employment.
In November 2017, we commissioned the Learning and Work Institute (L&W) to conduct research to identify employer engagement activities which are effective for learners aged 16 to 17, with low prior attainment (no qualifications at Level 2) studying at Entry Level and Level 1 in Further Education (FE) providers. The work aimed to support the successful implementation of the transition year referenced in the Government’s Post-16 Skills Plan, which will involve an element of employer engagement activity.

Research by the Mixed Economy Group commissioned in 2013 by LSIS. The remit was to examine the current arrangements surrounding scholarly activity in those FE colleges which also deliver HE and to draw up a Practice Guide which would be of use to the wide range of colleges currently providing HE in FE.
There are three papers. Part 1, offers a literature review of the subject and leads into the main research output Part 2, the results of a survey of scholarly activity amongst 60 colleges. Part 3 is the Practice Guide which emerges from the survey.
