Prescriptions for Learning 2nd Evaluation Report
by Kathryn James
Project Status: Completed
The continuation of the project into a second year was made possible
through funding from the Nottinghamshire Local Learning and Skills Council
Local Initiative Funding. Continuation of funding beyond the remit of that
funding is via Nottingham City Council Adult and Community Learning. The
report is divided into four sections. Firstly, the current political and
social context in which ‘Prescriptions for Learning’ arose and must be
placed. Secondly, a review of the quantitative and qualitative data from
the evaluation is described. Thirdly, we have included some case studies
that show the experience of some individuals who have participated in the
project. These indicate the nature of the work of the Learning Adviser and
also highlight the other learning that participants achieve through
participating in the project. Lastly, we include observations formed from
speaking to people involved in the project and from carrying out the
evaluation. These observations may have implications for possible
continuation of the project and how future evaluations might be carried
out.
