Questions

   see...

Tough love
7
Doing it for love

• Your learners want to be able to do what you can
  do
• ACL classes are supported in order to improve
  equality and diversity in our communities
• The privileged can have hidden skills gaps too

8
Love good practice

• Good and outstanding teachers use active
  learning techniques to continuously assess and
  progress learning in all skills, including those
  in the enrichment core.

9
10 minute task

• The person in your group whose 1st name comes
  highest in the alphabet is the maths teacher
• The person in your group whose 1st name comes
  lowest in the alphabet is the English teacher
• Use the resource packs provided to set a task in
  your subject area that you think is at L2 of the
  adult core curriculum in English/maths
• Take it in turns to assess your learners doing
  the task
• You have 2 mins to prepare and 4 mins each to
  assess

10
Love feedback

• Those linked to Wi-Fi can go to
• http//padlet.com/lisette_veit1/doIteachEM
• Double click on the sky to add your thoughts
  about embedding English and maths in the
  curriculum.

11
Love progress

• Learning has to be relevant (no one goes to yoga
  to learn long division)
• Skills gaps need to be identified (no one will
  willingly tell you they dont know how to use
  commas)
• Learning only happens when learning aims are
  transparent and assessed (no one listens to empty
  praise or makes progress with no trust)
• Teachers need to be a step ahead of their class
  (no one knows everything never stop learning)

12
How hard can it be?

• Start with a simple skills audit what English
  and maths is already hidden within your scheme of
  work?
• Plan, plan, plan, plan
• Assess and give constructive feedback
• Plan more

Give it a go
13
And finally...

1. Who knows why English and maths enrichment is a
   requirement in all ACL courses?
2. Who knows where to start?
3. Who knows where to get help?
4. Who knows where to go to improve your own English
   and maths skills if necessary?
5. Who is going to do something different as a
   result of this talk?
