2) Our Communities of Practice (CoPs) Programme
We offer a new, innnovative and sustainable alternative that can establish and maintain Outstanding Vocational Education and/ or Training - in any post-14 context or setting. And we do this without the need for any stressful formal training courses. This supportive - more informal approach helps ALL trainers (teachers) and learners involved flourish. It even draws in and engages teachers who are usually disengaged from professional development activities.
This programme is flexible to teacher needs, much less formal, more enjoyable and much more personalised than usual teacher development methods. This common-sense approach supports meaningful and sustainable change:
1) Initially working with a small team of your teachers we will aim to understand who your learners are, how they learn best (in and outside of the classroom), and what your teachers are really trying to achieve. We will consider this in light of how they learn best themselves, managerial need, and any other demands (e.g. qualification frameworks).
2) Building on this understanding, we will then guide your teachers to develop and refine their practice, creating engaging and innovative sessions and training resources in process. As we work, we will aim to inspire teacher and learner engagement, pulling others into our small team - generating increasing levels of momentum to achieve our aims.
This approach is innovative in that we deliver flexibly and informally both in and outside of the classroom; whatever seems most effective and fitting, for the teachers we're working with. There is no formal assessment, but the impact is continually guaged and feback to you. We believe it's the process and end result that really counts.
