Supported Experiments Project

Coleg Sir Gâr has undergone a significant transformation since 2010• Teaching and Learning has become the

primary focus of the Governing Body and Senior Management

What we did!

• We engaged the support of consultant Joanne Miles

• Thirty facilitators were identified across the college

• Official launch by the Principal and Directors.• Followed by workshops with facilitators to

identify real, workable projects which would make a difference to their learners and were based on EBTM

What we achieved 12/13!• 40 experiments successfully underway in year one

of the project, with many focusing on literacy.

• Teaching & Learning conference with 250 staff in attendance

• 84% successful completion for 12/13 a raise of 4% on 11/12

• Improved observation data (see next slides)

The greatest outcomes are the experiences of staff and students themselves.
