Teaching, Training and Learning - rationale

• Variability in standards of teaching and learning
  
• 19 of colleges' and 61 of WBL in construction
  were unsatisfactory or poor
• Small proportion of good or outstanding provision
  in Business, e.g.
  2002-03 Business FE provision 45, WBL provision
  11
• In 2001 - 2002, 20 of inspection grades for
  science and mathematics in colleges were
  unsatisfactory or poor
• Across subjects there is much that is not good or
  excellent.

Impact

• Newcastle College Inspection May 2004,
• grade 1
• Yvonne Nedelec, Faculty Director, highlights
  the focus on reflection, evaluation and
  collaboration which developed as a result of the
  work with the Standards Unit. This brought about
  a fundamental recognition of the need for change.
  Staff were encouraging each other to experiment
  and, more importantly, as the dialogue was
  flowing were more willing to ask for help and
  support.

13
Impact

• Solihull College inspected 2002, grade 4
  reinspected grade 3
• Andy Probyn, head of the Business Faculty,
  points out that it was the focus of attention on
  teaching and learning and the support offered by
  the Standards Unit which enabled them to achieve
  a grade 3 on their re-inspection.
• Working as a pilot centre with the Standards
  Unit Andy found that staff were enjoying talking
  to each other about teaching and learning and
  were willing to share and embrace new ideas.
  Teachers were being invited into classrooms to
  watch each other on an informal basis to assist
  in the reflections and evaluations of the
  session
