Retention, pass and achievement • Retention – how many learners completed the course • Pass – how many learners who completed also passed/achieved 80% of their learning outcomes • Achievement - how may learners who started the course completed and achieved 80% of the outcomes Example: • 10 learners start, 1 drops out 9/10 = 90% retention • 9 learners left, 1 doesn’t pass 80% of outcomes, 8 do. 8/9 = 88.8% pass • 8 of the original 10 have completed and passed 8/10 = 80% achievement Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  10. A few ideas to try… • Images are highly significant in maintaining and developing learner engagement. • Instead of writing up your learning outcomes as conventional ’to do’ statements, choose an image for each outcome and put this on the wipeboard or wall. • Use the images as a stimulus for asking learners what they think the topic is about, the relationship between the images and why you chose the image to represent the structure of the lesson. Much more imaginative! Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  11. Linking lessons • Get learners to guess what will happen in the next session • Get learners to decide what they would like to learn about the topic in the next session Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  12. Differentiated Outcomes • Replace the old ‘All-Most-Some with: Must Should Could • Removes the issue of limitations Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  13. A learning outcome is NOT A topic • E-Safety • Past tense A task • Complete mock exam paper • Go through homework A process • Practise spelling • Explore messy play It should describe the end result, not how the learners got there Thanks to BAES Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  14. A learning outcome is NOT Invisible • Understand radicalisation • Consider how the Equality Act impacts on policies in your school Verbs like ‘understand’ and ‘consider’ happen in learners’ heads. If you can’t ‘see’ it, how can you assess whether learners have achieved? Re-frame your outcomes using active verbs: describe, explain, list, categorise, draw a mind-map…. Thanks to BAES Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  15. Learning outcomes S A V E R Skills, knowledge and understanding Active verb for end product Visible Easy to understand Relevant Thanks to BAES Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  16. Bloom’s Taxonomy Question Stems Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  17. Learner Self Assessment • I know / I Need to Know • Explain what you have learnt from the lesson or topic • Explain what you still need to learn more about INK • What Went Well • What did you do really well in your work – pick only the positives • What single thing stands out for you? WWW • Even Better If… • What could you improve about your work? • Be honest and describe what specific aspects need to be worked on. EBI Adapted from www.teachingessentials.co.uk Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  18. Assessment Corner In three words… One of the simplest assessment tools a tutor can use at the end of a lesson to check ‘distance-travelled’ is the ‘Three Words’ exercise. Ask learners to: Think of 3 words that summarise the content of the session — ask learners to explain their choice. Think of three words that reflect the emotions the learners feel about the session. Ask learners in pairs to use evidence from the session to justify their choices, and for peers to address any concerns. Adapted from www.newbubbles.com 3 words 3 minutes Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  19. Review of Learning – Traffic Lights Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  20. Assessment Corner The post it note provides a simple method for placing learner questions on a wall. The post-its are moveable and flexible, allowing learners to group by theme, issue or category. Good at starts and ends of lessons. Excellent for kicking off recaps, illuminating learner difficulties or getting learners toanswer their own questions. www.newbubbles.com Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19

  21. Information and Advice • Try a pinboard to show learners ideas for progression opportunities: • Other similar courses, at higher levels or related subjects • Related websites and other resources, magazines etc • Local support groups/agencies • Other local providers for functional skills courses • Could be a real pinboard, or a virtual one using pinterest, padlet, facebook closed group… Staffs ACL Tutor Briefing 2018-19
