Do you teach business studies, construction, Entry to Employment (E2E) or science in the learning and skills sector? If you do, then you’ll be interested in the ‘Transforming Teaching and Learning’ workshops to be run for each curriculum area by the DfES Standards Unit in the English regions between 14 June and 9 July. Why should you attend?

• These free, one-day workshops will give teachers, trainers and their managers an exclusive preview of the teaching and learning materials and associated delivery strategies developed by the Standards Unit’s expert practitioners.

• Delegates will get a free CD-ROM containing a selection of the materials and hear from the experts who developed and tested them.

• The materials support improved performance, retention and success rates. They include ideas for stimulating and enjoyable sessions. They promote greater interaction between teacher/trainer and learners and between learners themselves.

The workshops are part of the Government’s ‘Success for All’ strategy – a partnership between DfES and the LSC to transform teaching, learning and leadership in the learning and skills sector.
