Key Points for Teachers
- Provide feedback to learners at each stage on their learning journey.
- Know what a learner should be able to do at each level of the core curricula,
but recognise also that each person is an individual, and may be able to do
considerably more (or less) than you expect.
- Check learners’ progress often and thoroughly.
Key Points for Teachers, Supporters, Advisers and Managers
- Advise learners about appropriate literacy, language and numeracy programmes.
- Encourage learners to undertake screening or initial assessment, depending
on the kind of courses they are likely to progress to.
- Negotiate an individual learning plan (ILP), with targets based on initial
assessment, and informed by what the learner needs to know and do and why
they need to know and do it.
- Ensure that learners are aware they are working towards explicit literacy,
numeracy and language targets, even if they are taught through, or alongside
(that is, ‘embedded in’) other subjects.
- Provide opportunities for learners to achieve literacy, numeracy and
language qualifications, such as the national tests. This may mean setting
up test centres in your venues, or using those provided by others in places
and at times convenient for your learners.
- Monitor the results, whether of accreditation or of the achievement of
learning goals. Do this if you are a teacher and compare your results with
those of other teachers and monitor them over time. If you are a manager,
monitor results across the whole organisation and over time.
- Check that learners are progressing to other forms of education, training
or to paid or voluntary work.
- Keep and monitor data on retention and achievement rates.
