Introduction – the Pan-London Unit • Professionally qualify SfL workforce • Ensure high quality learning delivery • Establish and grow pool of teacher-trainers • Provide coherent information/communications infrastructure • Policy advice and development to funders of learning • Prepare for achievement of London’s 2007 and 2010 SfL targets
Initial activities CTAD asked to provide interim management for the development of a Pan-London SfL Strategy Unit: • Estimating the size of the workforce – and opportunities to qualify • Developing business plan/funding strategy • Supporting LSC’s ESF round bidding process • Producing specification for Unit’s information/communications infrastructure • Policy advice and development • Supporting successful tenderer for Unit
Activities to December 2004 • Developing the business plan • Funding strategy • Identify current level 3 & 4 capacity and quality • Costings of current level 3 & 4 provision • Availability and sufficiency of trainers • Calculate number of teachers already qualified – and outstanding number to qualify • Develop job descriptions and responsibilities with successful tenderer • Advice of policy development • Consider role of SfLQI • Encourage development of APL model for London.
Activities to December 2004 • Supporting bidders to ESF round in developing coherent approaches • LSC Central London presentation & local discussions • Developing a specification for Strategy Unit communications/information services infrastructure • talent London • Developing buy-in from teacher employers and key stakeholders • North London Principals group • UfI • DfES Standards Unit • Job Centre Plus • Prison and Probation • Supporting successful consortium in taking Pan-London Unit forward
Estimating the SfL workforce - Overview • No single organisation holds the whole picture • Many organisations have an incomplete picture – not rigorous in their data collection – or cannot make it immediately available • Very little data sharing/working together • Lots of collection for specific purposes • Culture of ‘we can’t ask the providers’
Findings London sources of data • Central – talent project – 345 participants • East – estimate 625 (Lewisham PDC) + 855 in other boroughs (talent London) • North – no figures available • South – 367 participated in ESF project • West – 900 identified through PDC audit + BSA – 1897 teachers undertook Lit or Num Core Curriculum NIACE – 1864 teachers undertook Lit or Num Core Curriculum
Estimate 1 • 1,528 SfL teachers from SIR 11 • 1,163 additional teachers in East London • 318 additional teachers in South London • 111 additional teachers in West London • 800 or more literacy and numeracy teachers in other sectors plus, • up to 740 more ESOL teachers – all of which suggests that there are in the region of 4660 SfL teachers in London
Estimate 3 Assumptions – developed with Lambeth College, Lambeth LEA, Lewisham PDC, North West London College, talent London, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest Colleges. • Size of class • Screening and assessment • Method of delivery • Teachers learner contact hours, using 2002-3 learning opportunities data from London LSCs.
Estimate 3 Level of learning delivery Numbers • Entry - 43% 146276 • Level 1 – 37% 125866 • Level 2 – 20% 66981 • Literacy 92303 • Numeracy 53498 • ESOL 193322
Year 1 priorities Recommended that Year 1 priorities for the Unit should include: ·consolidating and refining this dataset ·establishing a core set of data fields that are shared and used by all partners in the strategy unit ·working closely with the DfES Standards Unit in its audit of all teachers in London ·updating the data, particularly in the light of the Level 3 and 4 training outcomes and achievement of the Talent London, PDC and HE providers ·identifying any differences and shortfalls in the workforce in local LSC areas ·looking at succession planning issues for teachers and managers across London ·looking at distribution of subject specialists ·scoping teachers’ current holdings of Level 3 and 4 and future demand, including London’s vocations teachers (in collaboration with the Standards Unit) • scoping the capacity of teachers to move to embedded delivery in line with the skills strategy
