Learning and High Quality Teaching
Within this assignment I am going to evaluate Government report “Rigour and responsiveness in skills” ( BiS and DoE 2013) and evaluate its impact within my own teaching and development.
Rigour and responsiveness in skills was a joint publication from Department of Education and the department for business,I nnovation and skills. Published in April 2013, the report highlights how skills in the Uk must be developed to keep up with the rest of the world.
Matthew Hancock Minsiter for Skills in the Uk quotes “In today’s global race we need a highly skilled workforce. Higher levels of skills help workers to become more effective: 20% of the growth in the output of UK workers can be attributed to the growth in their skill levels. Those who improve their skills are more likely to go on to further study or to progress higher in their chosen occupation. They are also more likely to have children who are more successful in school. So getting our vocational and technical education system right is both socially and economically vital.” (Rigour and Responsiveness in skills; 2013; DoE & BiS)
The report highlights that the government will focus on 6 key areas within skills development: Raising standards; reforming apprenticeships, creating traineeships; meaningful qualifications; improving funding responsiveness and better information and data.
For the purpose of this assignment I am going to focus on two of the key areas within the report- ‘raising standards’ and “improving funding responsiveness”.
The courses I deliver fit into the further education sector as my employer, Building Futures East is a business partner with Tynemet College. This means that we fall under the same scrutiny from the DoE and Bis, along with Ofsted and the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), and are subject to the same regulations as the college.
‘Rigour and responsiveness in skills’ report states that “High quality teaching and learning is at the core of the training system” (pg7) . Within my job
