Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Benchmarking Group(s) Benchmarking statements for the subject you are studying define what a student is expected to learn from studying that subject. They are defined by academic staff in the field and provided to students and universities by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). Benchmarking statements are explained and described on the Agency s website at: On successful completion of the Foundation Degree or Cert Ed, students will be able to: demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established principles in their field of study and the way in which those principles have developed; demonstrate successful application in the workplace of the range of knowledge and skills learnt throughout the programme; demonstrate ability to apply underlying concepts and principles outside the context in which they were first studied, and the application of those principles in a work context; demonstrate knowledge of the main methods of enquiry in their subject(s), and ability to evaluate critically the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems in their field of study and apply these in a work context; demonstrate an understanding of the limits of their knowledge, and how this influences analyses and interpretations based on that knowledge in their field of study and in a work context; use a range of established techniques to initiate and undertake critical analysis of information, and to propose solutions to problems arising from that analysis in their field of study and in a work context; effectively communicate information, arguments, and analysis, in a variety of forms, to specialist and non- specialist audiences, and deploy key techniques of the discipline effectively in their field of study and in a work context; undertake further training, develop existing skills, and acquire new competences that will enable them to assume responsibility within organisations; and have qualities and transferable skills necessary for employment and progression to other qualifications requiring the exercise of personal responsibility and decision-making.

17 3. Partner background and details (for collaborative provision) Nescot has been providing a wide range of teacher education courses for a significant number of years. These have included 7407 stages 1 3 and PTLLS, CTLLS & DTLLS with an awarding body (City & Guilds). During this period the teaching team became familiar with working within the quality framework of the college and that required by City & Guilds. In 2007, when reforms to ITE qualifications were introduced, the college embarked on a relationship with the University of Surrey who validated three new part-time ITE programmes a 3 year Foundation Degree in Teaching & Learning in the Lifelong Learning Sector, a 2 year Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (in Teaching & Learning in the Lifelong Learning Sector) and a 2 year Certificate in Education (in Teaching & Learning in the Lifelong Learning Sector). Since validation, these qualifications have undergone a successful interim review. Subsequently, the team has become confident and competent at delivering programmes that effectively suit our local market; adhere to the college s robust HE quality procedures and the University of Surrey Regulations; meet the initial SVUK & LLUK requirements of ITE qualifications; and meet standards/inspections expected by external bodies such as Ofsted and IQER. The teacher education department was inspected by Ofsted over a one week period in December 2010 when it was graded good along with its partner institutions. In addition, the department was involved in the 3 phases of the college s IQER ( ), culminating in the summative review team expressing confidence in the college s activities, identifying several elements of good practice and making no essential recommendations. The relationship with the University of Surrey, although allowing considerable autonomy, has also provided an excellent opportunity to collaborate with other linked colleges (Farnborough & Highbury). This partnership has developed into a termly meeting of the colleges for a good practice sharing opportunity which has enabled Nescot to develop and refine some of its practices and processes. The ITE team now welcomes this new opportunity to collaborate with the University of Greenwich and embrace the more recent changes required for ITE qualifications in order to develop appropriate and high-quality programmes. Our fundamental aim is to provide supportive courses that enable trainees develop into competent and committed teachers and trainers.

18 4. Programme Rationale 1. Rationale and context for the development of the programme This document proposes for validation courses that provide a workplace related higher education qualification for those interested in pursuing a career in education and training. Presented are three parttime courses: Foundation Degree (FD) in Education and Training at level 5, 240 credits; Professional Graduate Certificate in Education and Training (PGCE) at L6, 150 credits; and Certificate in Education and Training (Cert Ed) at L5, 150 credits. The FD will run over three years, whilst both the Cert Ed & PGCE will run over two years with students being co-taught in the first two years. Also presented and co-taught are two further one-year full-time courses: Professional Graduate Certificate in Education and Training (PGCE) at L6, 150 credits; and Certificate in Education and Training (Cert Ed) at L5, 150 credits. For some modules the part-time and full-time students may be co-taught (see section 12). The PGCE is for those with a recognised first degree in any subject (no minimum degree classification is stipulated), whilst the Cert Ed is offered for those without a first degree. Some students may wish to study for a third year in order to achieve the FD and, within the college, there is now the opportunity to progress on to BA (Hons) in Education Studies. Where students present with an initial teaching qualification of 120 credits at level 5, there is the opportunity of direct-entry into the third year of the FD. However, these students would be required to study for a fourth term to accrue sufficient credits to be awarded the FD qualification. All programmes and courses have been written to take into account guidance and requirements of current ITE reforms, Ofsted and organisational policies. Consequently, several sources have been drawn on, namely: 1 Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (2007) Education Studies for benchmark statements used to inform the development of the PGCE at level 6. 2 The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (2008) for qualification descriptors for L5 qualifications used to inform the development of the FD & Cert Ed. 3 LSIS (2013) Qualification Guidance for Awarding Organisations L5 Diploma in Education and Training for guidance on developing all programmes in terms of learning outcomes within the mandatory units; teaching practice hours (100); numbers and length of lesson observations 8 x 1 hour); and links between successful achievement of units and observations. 4 LSIS (2013) L5 Diplomas Guidance for HEIs used to inform the content and development of all programmes. 5 Generic Teaching Qualifications for the FE Sector used to inform the development of all programmes. 6 LLUK (2007) New Overarching Professional Standards for Teachers, Tutors & Trainers in the Lifelong Learning Sector used to inform the development of all programmes. 7 LSIS (LLUK 2007, updated 2013) Addressing Literacy, Language, Numeracy and ICT needs in Education and Training: Defining the minimum Core of Teachers Knowledge, Understanding & Personal Skills. A Guide for Initial Teacher Education Programmes. used to inform the development of all programmes. University of Greenwich QA Handbook, Appendix D6 (September 2012) page 18

19 8 Ofsted Initial Teacher Education (ITE) Inspection Handbook (2013) used to inform development of all programmes. 9 Nescot s Teacher Training Work Placements procedure (SMT, ) used to inform guidance and information on placements. In response to the above documents, the courses reflect the principles of the ITE reforms and fulfil the requirements for level 5 and level 6 HE qualifications in education. The courses are designed to develop reflective and competent practitioners who actively and effectively contribute to promoting positive and inclusive learning experiences for their learners. Modules incorporate reflective practice, not only in relation to teaching but also to the students own functional skills. The breadth of modules offered underpins the variety of skills and knowledge required to fulfil the roles and responsibilities of those working within the sector, thus providing an enriched programme which, it is confidently felt, addresses the market demand of Nescot s ITE applicants. Feedback from existing students and enquiries made to the centre has informed the development of the programmes which focuses heavily on classroom practice throughout, as well as considering the wider perspective of working within the sector. Significant importance is attached to workbased learning and assessment evidence for which will be gathered, demonstrated and assessed via students lesson planning documentation, lesson observations and feedback and tutorials. Throughout, the programmes seek to develop students analytical, reflective, synthesis and evaluative skills. There are assessed PDP (Personal Development Planning) modules in both years 1 and 2. Within these, students will develop their ability to self-evaluate and identify development needs; negotiate and review targets relating to both their academic and teaching skills; examine personal values, beliefs and attitudes; and explore the concept of professionalism. In the latter part of the courses, students will have the opportunity to focus on their subject specialism. The resources, action research and wider professional practice modules all provide vehicles for this activity. The action research module, in particular, will also provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate independence in following lines of enquiry and applying active research skills. 2. Target market Traditionally, our courses attract new or inexperienced teachers, a small proportion of who are employed by Nescot. The classes are diverse in terms of subject specialism, background, experience, age and ethnicity. This diversity enriches the learning experience. In the last couple of years, there has been an increase in the number of voluntary teachers undertaking the ITE qualifications. These students secure their own teaching placement, verified by the ITE team for suitability and sustainability. Transport to the college is readily accessible by car or train, subsequently not all the intake is from the local area. A relatively equal number of students embark on the PGCE as the Cert Ed with a lesser proportion undertaking the third year of the FD. Subsequently, the third year can be taught in conjunction with students studying the FD in Education Support, ensuring viability of groups and, hence, the course. Course evaluations of on-programme students are very positive and an increasing number of applicants are by word-of-mouth recommendations. However, the courses are also marketed widely online and via the college HE prospectus and open days. University of Greenwich QA Handbook, Appendix D6 (September 2012) page 19

20 3. Consultation with employers and Career Options for Students All students on our programmes are required to identify a subject-specialist mentor to provide support, observe lessons and give guidance where needed. These mentors need to hold a teaching qualification and be of the same or similar subject background to the student. One member of our ITE team is the subject mentor coordinator and ensures all mentors are welcomed and briefed with the expectations of the role and confirms their support. To aid communications and information giving, a handbook, meeting opportunities and a VLE site is available to all mentors. In addition, ITE tutors undertake a joint observation of the student with the mentor. This provides the opportunity to standardise mentor observations, discuss arising issues and establish a relationship with each mentor, over and above the contacts with the mentor coordinator. Twice yearly, a short report is sought from the mentors to identify the progress students are making. As previously stated, the FD provides an opportunity for students to progress to a fist degree BA (Hons) in Education Studies. To date, a significant number of our students have taken this opportunity. Historic exit data also shows that a significant number of our students have gained promotion, new posts or moved from a voluntary to a permanently employed teaching position. 4. Entry criteria and admissions process Individual offers may vary but a minimum entry requirement for applications are: Have an English GCSE grade C or above, or equivalent Have, or are prepared to work towards, a level 2 qualification in Maths. In-service with the capacity to complete a minimum of 100 hours of teaching over the duration of the part-time programmes or the ability for Nescot to offer a suitable placement of at least 100 hours of teaching over the duration of the full-time programmes. Full-time placements can be arranged at Nescot within the following departments: Preparation for Life and Work, English, Maths, Computing & IT, Sport and Animal care. Work (paid or volunteering) within Education and Training in a full teaching role. Have the knowledge, skills and attitude to benefit from and complete the teacher training programme. Hold a Level 3 qualification or higher in their subject specialism to apply for the Cert Ed Hold a Level 3 qualification or higher in their subject specialism and have at least 2 years equivalent experience to apply for the FdA Hold a recognised degree in their subject specialism to apply for the PGCE All applicants who meet the minimum requirement for admission will be invited for interview. At the interview applicants will be given a diagnostic assessment to test their written and spoken ability to pursue the programme. Their qualifications/certificates will also be verified and their experiences and aspirations for studying the programme will be discussed. Where appropriate, additional support needs will be identified so that suitable adjustments can be explored. If a student is pursuing a full-time programme, the interview will be conducted by a member of the ITE team and the head of department of the receiving placement department. Only upon the satisfaction of the interviewing tutor that the candidate has met the entry criteria will an enrolment be permitted.
