Supporting teaching and learning Noyona Chanda Director LLU+ n.chanda@lsbu.ac.uk
Scope and range National advisory role + international Regional / national reach Organisational support for LLN Curriculum development Research and review - LLN provision , practice and curriculum Supporting teaching and learning Professional development Building capacity – teacher, teacher trainer and trainer of teacher trainers Materials, resources and models National numeracy professional development centre drafting professional standards for LLN teachers
Development work • Professionalising the LLN workforce • Generative models of LLN development • Modelling and supporting innovative teaching practice in a wide range of contexts • Promoting numeracy strategy, provision, practice and development • Reviewing and revising the teacher standards and learner curriculum
Research organic, dynamic and evolutionary - examples National Audit Office – inquiry into current situation re numeracy provision (2008) Use of REFLECT methodology in ESOL Super Reading review of the Adult Core curricula and PECF
Key considerations Need to connect better between provision, practice and learner motivation Tired and uninspired teaching – need to reform, re-energise and revolutionise
Some key questions Provision – who’s championing for expansion and innovation? - Why is funding not prioritising numeracy? Teaching Workforce – why is it not ready to meet the demand? Curriculum offer – is it what learners want or need? Potential learners – why aren’t they getting the message about LLN improvement and enhanced life chances?
