Functional Skills in maths and English

OVERVIEW

 
 

Hints, tips and best practice to 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 interactive 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.
  • Best practice for maths and English when planning learning programmes.
  • How Ofsted identifies ‘good practice’ for maths and English ongoing development.

Target Audience

 
 

All providers offering programmes that are government or levy funded and want to improve the way that maths and English is integrated throughout the full programme duration, regardless of maths and English qualification requirements. 
Providers who are ‘in scope’ for an Ofsted inspection and want to ‘check’ that their approaches to the development of maths and English are robust and fully inclusive. 


This interactive webinar is relevant for managers and delivery staff involved in supporting learners on all programmes.


This webinar is not relevant for providers with outstanding delivery in the aspects of maths and English; or those who have no areas for development in their maths and English provision.
