description
North Hertfordshire College (www.nhc.ac.uk) is a large general further education college in England with just over 4,000 students aged 16 to 18 and around 10,000 adults. The college is located across the towns of Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth, serving a population of around 200,000 people. The college is transforming its approach to education and training to address the growing gap between the knowledge and skills learned in school and college and those required by a rapidly changing, uncertain and fragmented workplace. It is developing its ideas in collaboration with colleges from across the country, and using leading research in the field to address the needs of students from different backgrounds and to coordinate the needs of both students and their local communities. The approach requires a radical review of teacher training and development. It is founded on the development of a new pedagogical framework which will, predominantly, be a blended learning model. The college is on a journey leading to a whole college transformation where students will learn in a visually stimulating and collaborative environment, utilising the latest Information and Communication Technologies and where learning will be an experience developed with and shared by tutors and students. The college, through a targeted induction programme, will ensure all students are on the right level of the right course for them and, in the process, will learn about their individual capabilities and ambitions enabling it to guide the student on a truly personalised journey through their education. Its ambition is to change the education paradigm of vocational and Lifelong Learning-articulating, in practice, the research set out by, amongst others, Sugata Mitra and Sir Ken Robinson. The presentation that will be research-based but grounded in its application in the classroom and in college initiatives for teacher training and development. It will be informative, practical, challenging and provocative.
