Please indicate that you are committed to completing the following monitoring and evaluation documents which will be provided to you at your induction workshop WFL is a non-accredited learning experience, though the funding does require some kind of impact measurement. The aim of any targeted intervention should be to promote confidence in learning and reduce the barriers to learning for disadvantaged groups and communities.
Outline the WFL course being offered Even without an adult teaching qualification, a WFL tutor can deliver a course that is up to 16 hours in length. So, for instance, a school that promotes creativity in learning could promote an arts and crafts course, while an urban school where there are limited play opportunities in the neighbourhood might encourage parents and carers to become more involved in providing play-based learning for their children.
Example: promoting a key stage 1 WFL programme based around a 12 hour course promoting creative writing and art:. The tutor, a HLTA, organised three activities per session: the first activity for parents only for 50 minutes, followed by a second activity for 35 minutes with parents working with their children. After a 20 minute break, this was followed by a final 20 minute activity for parents only, for example, setting a home-based activity to do with their child over the following week.
Is this course accredited? Are you interested in running an accredited course for parents? Although WFL courses are rarely accredited, the school could offer to signpost participants to an accredited programme at the local FE College, or another third sector organisation, that delivers Skills for Life courses. Skills for Life programmes lead to level two qualifications over 90 hour courses.
How many learners do you expect to engage? A minimum recommended number of participants is 8 children and 8 adults in order for the course to be considered value for money for the funding body. What do you anticipate as your course costs? Based on a 12 hour course, the costs could be:. I would like to be better at I rate my skills in this area as In setting challenging learning objectives, the group could identify some aims for their time together in terms of what they should, could and would like to learn from the programme.
What I am better at What I need to do to improve WFL is a distributed leadership opportunity for a HLTA, SEN teaching assistant, learning mentor, parent support officer or other member of the inclusion team, provided they have support from a member of the School Management Team.
Adults other than teachers on the school team could discover a route into teaching via a five day course delivered through their local FE College — the Pre Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector PTLLS which qualifies tutors to teach up to 30 hour courses.
A further one year programme usually via a weekly twilight session would provide an aspiring adult tutor with their full Certificate CTLLS which would enable them to teach 90 hour courses and deliver adult literacy and numeracy to level two.
