Has Covid 19 created greater vulnerability to extremism and if so how?
We will explore the risk factors during a pandemic and how extremists may use Covid 19 to groom people. We will consider ways in which the FE and training sector can help protect its learners from grooming. There will be time for questions during the session.
This presentation was delivered at the ETF National Safeguarding and Prevent Forum on 4 February 2021.
This training webinar will explore ways of applying an assessment for learning approach to embedding maths and English in apprenticeships.
It will include:
Learners will be responding in different ways to lockdown and will respond in different ways to being back in the classroom. This live session will look at how we can prepare the environment, lesson structures and classroom management to best support learners returning to face to face sessions.
This course will introduce you to a variety of contextual materials and activities that may be used to develop learners' Functional Skills maths abilities. You will be supported to identify how and why context matters and enable you to plan and design differentiated, inclusive Functional Skills maths sessions. Consideration will be taken of the EPGs for assessment and tracking and how to support learners to tackle assessment questions in order to achieve Functional Skills maths outcomes.
Remote delivery can be hard - when students don't seem to want to engage. Some learners may be reluctant to turn on their webcam or speak using their mic. Others with specific needs may feel anxious about typing responses in the chat pane. In this webinar we'll explore how you can feel confident learners are engaged, and how in the process you look after your own mental health.
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' English skills which are needed for them to successfully complete their study programme, apprenticeship or vocational/ technical course.
The Education and Training Foundation is working with the National Deaf Children's Society to deliver a one hour webinar to help you understand the main barriers to accessing webinars for deaf learners and how these can be overcome using tech solutions and adjustments to teaching. You'll also have the opportunity to put questions to experts in deaf education.
NDCS use of term 'deaf' to describe learners with all levels of deafness from mild to profound.
This course is aimed at both new teachers of Functional Skills English, and those already teaching but possibly recently transferred from other areas, including vocational teachers and assessors. It is particularly suitable for those who do not currently hold a subject-specific teaching qualification in English. It is designed to meet the needs of all parts of the sector, including independent training providers, offender learning and adult and community education.
This training webinar will explore ways of using an online approach to support embedding maths and English in apprenticeships.
The session will allow practitioners to share ideas, adaptions and issues and take away new ideas from each other. So, come along, be creative and be a magpie!
