The key aim of the Improvement Programme is to improve teaching, learning and achievement in literacy, language and numeracy.

The second year of the programme offers an excellent opportunity for you and your organisation to access the successful, wide-ranging development activities for improving Skills for Life provision and raising achievement for all learners.

The Skills for Life Improvement Programme can help you refresh and strengthen practice to ensure learners engage, progress and achieve.

The Skills for Life Improvement Programme offers:

Exciting opportunities for practitioners to benefit from expert support at a local level, with targeted support for those working with disadvantaged learners including those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, offenders and unemployed people.

Teacher at Developing Excellence

Development Advisers who act as catalysts for creative change, both in-house and through local ‘cluster’ projects, to include the brokering of links between Skills for Life staff and Subject Learning Coaches (developed through the National Teaching and Learning Change Programme).

Practical help and guidance from experienced and skilled Development Advisers on a range of key issues, for example: initial assessment and the effective use of Individual Learning Plans, embedding literacy, language and numeracy, promoting the use of e-learning, using group work to engage and motivate learners.
