[Are you responsible for quality monitoring?] [Background] [Aims] [Objectives] [Benefits of attending] [Programme] [Application Form]
Are you responsible for quality monitoring and improvement of learning provision for adults?
NIACE is offering one-day training events on "Demonstrating Impact for Quality using the five-stage process (RARPA)", which will be particularly relevant to staff responsible for quality monitoring and improvement of learning provision for adults, in all sectors subject to inspection by OFSTED.
_______________________________
Training Background
In response to changing policy context relating to the Framework for Excellence and building on our successful series of one-day RARPA training days for managers delivered since 2006, NIACE has developed two interrelated training programmes. They are also particularly relevant to organisations piloting phase 2 of Framework for Excellence.
Each one-day training programme is based on the RARPA approach and the five-stage process.
This programme, “Demonstrating Impact for Quality”, focuses on processes and systems demonstrating how the staged process contributes to learner progress and achievement in non-accredited learning. (The “Improving Teaching and Learning for Success” programme focuses on how the staged process benefits learning in the classroom).
_______________________________
Training Aims
To enable participants to develop an understanding of how the five-stage process of recognising and recording progress and achievement impacts on:
 | quality improvement and quality assurance processes |
| monitoring and reporting on the quality of teaching, self-assessment and inspection |
_______________________________
Objectives
Delegates should improve their understanding of:
| the rationale for applying the fivestage process to non-accredited programmes |
| how quality processes to have an impact on teaching and learning |
| how to address the five-stage process within self assessment reports |
| how the five- stage process relates to the inspection process and other external quality reviews. |
_______________________________
What are the benefits of attending "Demonstrating Impact for Quality" training?
By the end of the day participants should be better able to:
| understand current and possible future policy relating to the staged process |
| to develop/use RARPA systems to monitor and report on the quality of teaching and learning outcomes. |
| Analyse a variety of approaches to quality assurance such as observation of teaching and learning (OTL), schemes of work (SOW), individual learning plans (ILP’s) and internal moderation. |
| Engage in the development of staff training programmes |
