  1. Post-16 English and mathematics In the Study Programme

  2. Where do we start?? I don’t know all the answers …. This session is to help us all on our way to transforming how we can meet the changes…. It is designed to make us all think of new ways to teach using technology and reform teaching ideas to meet our learners needs!

  3. Why ? Over one third of all young people leave post-16 education each year without having a GCSE A*-C in English and maths - in 2011 to 2012, 44% did not achieve this in both subjects. Despite their importance in gaining any kind of work, around a fifth of young people are never taught maths and English after failing to achieve a GCSE pass at the age of 16.

  4. What do we have to do ? The English and mathematics requirement of study programmes means that students who have not achieved an A*-C GCSE in these subjects by age 16 will continue to study towards achieving them as a part of their 16 to 19 study programmes. This requirement will be enforced by making the study of English and mathematics a condition of the student place being funded from September 2014.

  5. How ? Where a student does not have a GCSE A*-C, they must take either: English and mathematics GCSEs or i-GCSEs (including level 1/level 2 certificates) that count towards the English Baccalaureate (Ebacc) measure in KS4 performance tables functional skills and free-standing mathematics qualifications registered with Ofqual, as a stepping stone to GCSE study English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) qualifications registered with Ofqual, as a stepping stone to GCSE study

  6. GCSE’s ???? Sound Great in theory…. So how do we put it into practice ????

  7. Questions to Ask & Answer ??? What are we doing now that can help? Can we continue the way we are? Do we have to change the way we teach? What are the issues with delivering GCSE’s in WBL?

  8. What are we doing now? You tell me…..

  9. Can we continue the way we are?In a way yes! But also No! For those learners who are unlikely to be able to achieve a Level 2 GCSE pass in English and mathematics over the course of the 2-year study programme, other qualifications need to be considered. These alternative options should demonstrate progression to a level higher than a learner’s previous attainment and should facilitate progression towards a GCSE at A*- C. As such, the Government sees Functional Skills and Free Standing Mathematics Qualifications (FSMQs) as ‘interim’ qualifications on the journey towards the ultimate achievement of a Level 2 GCSE

  10. What are the issues? Learners are expected to retake English and mathematics GCSEs where possible. What if they are not ready due to limited time scale of current exam system – summer and November exams only?

  11. How do we choose ?? Decisions about the appropriate English and mathematics programmes for these learners need to be made on the basis of 3 factors about each individual: The level of attainment at Key Stage 4; Progression aims for post -19; Their wider 16 -19 programme

  12. Once we have chosen? We need to meet the needs of our learners and their preferred learning styles. We need to ensure we keep them engaged throughout learning journey. We need to use tools to aid learning but also mimic the medium they are used to, i.e TV, Video games as well as the standard medium of teaching pedagogy.

  13. Flipped Learning/Classroom

  14. What is Flipped Learning “Flipping the classroom” has become something of a buzzword in the last several years, driven in part by high profile publications in The New York Times (Fitzpatrick, 2012); The Chronicle of Higher Education (Berrett, 2012); and Science (Mazur, 2009); In essence, “flipping the classroom” means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates.

  15. imaginative learning delivery classroom learning with a combination of online videos, Test & Learn questions and self-test mobile apps. We need to promotes independent learning too – where students can view videos and test themselves outside lesson time using VLE’s and the technology they are used to…. Phones, Ipads, Android, PC’s, Also Incorporating a B.Y.O.D. strategy to engage learner with the use of their own technology in classroom as well as home.

  16. imaginative learning delivery

  17. Where do we go from here! How are we going to do this ??????? Where can we get help and resources to do this??? I want to finish by highlighting just a few online sources that may help you on your Journey of development …..
