Over two parts, this course will cover:

• The high needs funding system, including top tips relating to contracting, relationships with LAs, and budgeting.
• How other funding, e.g. disadvantage blocks or AEB, can be used to support SEND learners, including those with EHCPs.
• Current developments and directions of travel in relation to High Needs funding and contracting.

The course will be highly interactive, allowing delegates to share experiences and ask questions.

Drawing on lessons learnt from lockdown this course explores a range of digital approaches, e-learning tools and websites for use in teaching Functional Maths and English. It aims to give participants an opportunity to widen their perspectives on how teachers can use digital technology to engage and support learners both in the classroom and in the development of blended learning.

The workshop will include a discussion on operating in a climate of ever-changing emphasis and influence from government, changing local and national circumstances. It will also explore the governance roles and responsibilities, how boards can monitor progress and the crucial elements of information that a board required to enable effective monitoring and challenge.

As part of the wider agenda to develop FE governance, this programme of regional events aims to support board members and senior leaders to improve board effectiveness and overall provider performance. These events are delivered by the Association of Colleges and are free to attend.

Drawing on lessons learnt from lockdown this course will support technical and vocational tutors, trainers and assessors to identify naturally occurring opportunities to develop learners' maths skills which are needed for them to successfully complete their study programme, apprenticeship or vocational/ technical course. Approaches will incorporate lessons learnt from lockdown.

Drawing on lessons learnt from lockdown, this course focuses on practical strategies and reasonable adjustments for supporting learners with SEND on maths and English courses. It builds on the social model of disability, suggesting that it may be the barriers created by attitudes, or the physical environment, that disable an individual, rather than their impairment or condition.

This interactive course presents an overview of the Essential Digital Skills (EDS) framework and standards, and the resources and tools available to support teachers and managers. It offers an opportunity to develop knowledge and confidence to deliver EDS qualifications and share good practice.

This training webinar will explore ways of identifying, creating and sharing resources for embedding maths and English for apprentices across teams and organisations. It will include:

• models for sharing good practice
• working with colleagues to adapt and develop resources for apprentices
• collaborative working
• developing an action plan.
  

The Skills and Education Group has a role in supporting PDGs in the East of England, and this virtual Zoom event will enable participants from the East of England to present an aspect of their developing practice. For example, several of the PDG projects are focusing on exploring the use of digital technologies to support online delivery; some have a specific focus on teaching ESOL; and others are looking at new ways to embed maths.

This live webinar will look at the positive approaches we can take to support diversity in its widest sense and begin to reflect on how our maths curriculum, resources and learning environments meet the aspirations of all learners.
