  4. Impact of Citizenship on Fareport as an organisation • Fareport’s reputation within the industry has grown • The programme delivery has been identified as a strength by Ofsted • It has helped to meet contract by aiding retention, progression and qualification targets • Fareport has gained respect in the local community owing to the publicity gained locally and nationally

  5. Continue • Citizenship enables easy inclusion of other government agenda’s such as ECM, Learner Voice and Innovation Nation • It enables staff to gain free training from the LSN even a qualification ‘Citizenship CPD’ delivered through Warwick University • It enables staff to deliver a structured programme in areas that previously have not been delivered this way such as e2e

  6. Impact of Citizenship on Learners • Ownership of learning as Citizenship is learner led • Learning Citizenship can be fun • Citizenship is topical as current affairs that are important to the learners are covered • It gives the learners transferable skills that can aid progression • It provides natural evidence for qualifications

  7. Continue • The learning is personalised by the learner, they decide on topics and vehicles for learning • Learners experience being teachers! • Learners gain a passion to make change and have a voice in the community • Learners can see the impact and change they have made in the community

  12. My Top Ten Tips • Gain SMT backing by selling the benefits of a Citizenship programme • Ensure Citizenship is delivered through a range of vehicles and topics • Make the most of LSN training and resources • Don’t be afraid to allow your learners to lead the programme • Ensure evaluations are summaries and trends acted upon

  13. Top ten tips continued • Shout about it! Tell your colleagues, bosses and other organisation what you are doing • Link your Citizenship to new agenda’s such as Learner Voice, Innovation, ECM • Celebrate Citizenship with high profile events around key dates such as ‘Children In Need’ and ‘World Aids Day’ • Don’t mistake being a ‘good Citizen’ with being an ‘active citizen’. Do the underpinning political knowledge • KEEP IT FUN!

  14. Activity Staff Training Tool- How to use ‘practical learning activities’ and empower the learner • Lay out the blue subject cards in a vertical line • Now decide what activity card you think would suit the subject card • Next decide what qualification card you would be able to match to the subject and activity • Looking at your horizontal line, place the power card on-top of the activity cards that you think the learner could organise and run.
