Maths and English are core subjects that require ongoing development regardless of the qualification aims, adopting inclusive approaches will enhance the learner experience.
Maths and English are recognised as core subjects for focus because the level of attainment is generally low across the working population. The development of maths and English goes beyond the qualification requirements of learner programmes.
This webinar will look at examples of best practice and consider what a ‘good’ experience of maths and English development looks like in a functional way.
Content will cover hints and tips to support best practice in relation to the ongoing support and development of these skills.
OBJECTIVES
The aims/objectives/expected outcomes for the audience are:
- The key challenges for maths development and what ‘good’ looks like in real terms.
- The key challenges for English development and what ‘good’ looks like in real terms.
