... Do I?

Questions1. Who considers themselves to be a maths person?

2. Who considers themselves to be an English language person?

3. Have you already done English and maths embedding CPD? Yes? How confident are you about it?

4. If Ofsted turned up in your next class would they see...1. Sustainable development?2. Equality and diversity?3. Effective ICT?4. English, maths and language?

Tough love

Doing it for loveYour learners want to be able to do what you

can do

ACL classes are supported in order to improve equality and diversity in our communities

The privileged can have hidden skills gaps too

Love good practice

Good and outstanding teachers use active learning techniques to continuously assess and progress learning in all skills, including those in the enrichment core.

10 minute taskThe person in your group whose 1st name comes highest

in the alphabet is the maths teacher

The person in your group whose 1st name comes lowest in the alphabet is the English teacher

Use the resource packs provided to set a task in your subject area that you think is at L2 of the adult core curriculum in English/maths

Take it in turns to assess your ‘learners’ doing the task

You have 2 mins to prepare and 4 mins each to assess

Love feedback

Love progressLearning has to be relevant (no one goes to yoga to

learn long division)

Skills gaps need to be identified (no one will willingly tell you they don’t know how to use commas)

Learning only happens when learning aims are transparent and assessed (no one listens to empty praise or makes progress with no trust)

Teachers need to be a step ahead of their class (no one knows everything; never stop learning)

How hard can it be?Start with a simple skills audit – what English

and maths is already hidden within your scheme of work?

Plan, plan, plan, plan

Assess and give constructive feedback

Plan more

And finally...

1. Who knows why English and maths enrichment is a requirement in all ACL courses?

2. Who knows where to start?

3. Who knows where to get help?

4. Who knows where to go to improve your own English and maths skills if necessary?

5. Who is going to do something different as a result of this talk?
