Who would benefit from attending "Improving Teaching and Learning for Success" training?
This highly interactive one-day training will be particularly relevant to:
 | Tutors and teachers |
| Teacher trainers |
| Curriculum managers |
| Staff developers |
| Observers |
_______________________________
Training Background
In response to changing policy context and building on our successful series of one-day RARPA training days for managers delivered since 2006, NIACE has developed two new 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 staged process.
This programme, “Improving Teaching and Learning for Success”, focuses on how the staged process benefits learning in the classroom. (The “Demonstrating Impact for Quality” programme focuses on processes and systems demonstrating how the staged process contributes to learner progress and achievement in non-accredited learning).
_______________________________
Training Aims
To promote an effective and systematic learner-centred approach to teaching and learning.
_______________________________
Objectives
During the day participants will:
| Hear about recent research on assessment, and explore the different purposes: initial/formative/summative |
| Explore what the staged process of RARPA really means for themselves and their learners |
| Consider creative and useful ways they and their learners can assess starting points, progress and achievement |
| Practice giving and receiving feedback in different ways |
| Share ideas about summarising and recording achievement for their own purposes, and for learners and managers |
_______________________________
What are the benefits of attending "Improving Teaching and Learning for Success" training?
By the end of the day participants should be better able to:
| Relate the staged process to their own teaching and learning practice |
| Undertake and use initial, formative and summative assessment |
| Engage in feedback with learners for different purposes and in a variety of ways, appropriate to individuals’ needs and contexts |
| Help learners use assessment and feedback to take control of their own learning journey |
| Summarise and report on learning, for the use of learners, other tutors, and the organisation. |
| Report today’s learning to the right people in their organisation. |
This training may contribute to the 30 hour (or pro-rata), CPD requirement, provided you demonstrate you have:
| Critically reflected on what you have learned |
| Evidence how you have applied this to your practice |
| Evidence how this has impacted on your learners' experience and success |
