1. Making British values meaningful for learners with autism: a guidance document for staff
Entry-level immersive technology has reached a price and complexity point where it is now accessible to the average classroom, but how can teachers effectively integrate immersive technologies into their lessons? It's this question that a partnership of Sussex training providers sought to answer in 2018 through the Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment programme (OTLA 3).
A project aiming to investigate why sharing effective practice was not being done well and why it didin't have any impact.
This Placing Soft Skills at the Heart of Community Learning 2017/18 Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment (OTLA 3) project involved five of the unitary Berkshire authorities; West Berkshire, Reading, Bracknell, Wokingham and Slough (including Windsor and Maidenhead). They designed and piloted an impact tool to measure learners' development of soft skills at the start, mid-point and end of accredited and non-accredited adult and community learning courses. The tool was produced in visual and linear formats to meet the needs of different learners.
A case study of a project aiming to advance professional development through collaboration which results in continuous innovation and improvement in teaching and learning.
A case study exploring a project that sought to explore how behavioural sciences could support teaching, learning and assessment, i.e. if a small, simple intervention could have significant positive impact, and to effectively build an evidence-base related to this through robust testing
The colleges in this project were keen to look at teaching and learning in the round and create a joint practice development approach to continuing professional development (CPD).
This 2017/19 GBMET Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment (OTLA 3) project used digital technology to improve teaching and learning by generating greater awareness of the use of Google tools for education and of digital technologies. Through the project, they created resources and services, including instructional videos, a study skills site and drop-in sessions for students, as well as staff templates and face-to-face training and a G+ Community.
In response to the new 9-1 grade English GCSE, this Outstanding Teaching, Learning and assessment (OTLA 3) project in 2017/19, Greater Brighton Metropolitan College (GBMET) wanted to raise standards in post-16 English. They wanted responsibility for developing English skills to be shared across curriculum areas by making a core group of staff confident of improving students' reading, research, planning and assignment writing skills.
Digital badges offer a way of accrediting skills often unrecognised by formal qualifications; skills essential to success at college and beyond. The aim of this 2017/19 digital recording of English and maths (DREAM) outstanding teaching, learning and assessment (OTLA 3) project by Eastleigh and East Sussex colleges was to see if using digital badges towards Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications in maths and English improves learner motivation, achievement and employability. By the end of the project, nearly 400 learners across the two colleges enrolled with the Open Badge Academy.
