  2. Inspiring staff to improveteaching and learning • Would you like less marking? • Would you like to spend your day with enthusiastic learners? • Would you like to improve your success rates? • Would you like access to proven and effective teaching materials produced by experts? • Would you like to stretch your learners and see them perform at their best?

  3. Improving teachingand learning can ... • Help learners complete work on time, to the standard required and reduce the amount of re-marking needed • Make lessons more fun for learners and lecturers • Increase success rates • Increase students’ self-confidence, determination to succeed and appreciation of their subject

  4. How do I start improving teachingand learning? • Talk to your colleagues, look at their assignments and their worksheets • Look critically at your lesson plans and teaching material: does every single session move the learner closer to achieving their goals? • Use the VLE more: set up more quizzes and tests. Learners love scoring top marks in tests.

  5. Improving teachingand learning? • Monitor your industries’ websites and newspapers – working with cutting edge ideas will inspire your learners • Review your assignments and your classroom activities: are you providing the support weaker learners need to achieve AND challenging the more able learners to excel?

  6. Improving teachingand learning: some thoughts • Every activity should take the students closer to achieving their learning goal (if it doesn’t, why are you doing it?) • If students don’t learn the way you teach, maybe, you have to teach the way they learn • Inappropriate materials alienate students. Lessons must be challenging. • Every lesson should have clear aims. If students don’t know where they are going, it is no surprise if they don’t get there.

  7. Improving teachingand learning: some thoughts • Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. -- Samuel Johnson
