Embedding

Part of the joint NIACE and NRDC series, Developing Adult Teaching and Learning: Practitioner Guides

Published by NIACE in partnership with the National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy (NRDC), this is one of a series of guides to good practice – each in a key area of adult education – arising from five Effective Practice Studies carried out by NRDC from 2003 to 2007.

The series looks critically at how emerging and published research can inform the development of teaching and learning strategies for adults. It is designed to support practitioners working in a variety of settings.

Each guide in the series aims to update teachers on research and to encourage them to reflect on their practice. They are intended to inspire teachers to try ideas and approaches which research suggests are effective. Principles of good practice are illustrated by clear and relevant case studies from current research. All examples are highly relevant to the classroom. Pointers to further reading are provided.

Embedding identifies for managers and practitioners across the sector the practical implications of embedding literacy, language and numeracy work in vocational programmes. The guide is distilled from NRDC research together with other significant research findings and sources.

It is intended to serve as a planning tool and instant reference check for managers wishing to develop embedded programmes as a means of raising participation, retention, achievement and progression levels. It also sets out to inform and support teaching staff who wish to enhance learner experience through practical embedding.

The guide takes and interprets the lessons learned from a range of research to establish key components of embedding which can inform action across the whole of the post-16 sector
