14 - 19 Teaching Certificate launch
In September 2008, City & Guilds will be looking to centres to pilot it's new Level Five Certificate in Teaching the 14 – 19 Diplomas.
Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) has been charged by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCFS) to work with the Training and Development Agency (TDA) to facilitate workforce development opportunities for those delivering the new 14-19 Diplomas from September 2008.
A key part of this has been to develop a specialist qualification for the teaching workforce, ensuring that it reflects the generic skills, knowledge and attributes required to deliver the Diploma as outlined in the Excellence in Applied Learning and Training and Development Guidance Reports.
The units of assessment reflect six key skills and attributes needed to deliver the Diplomas:
- personalised learning
- assessment
- Generic learning skills
- information, advice and guidance
- working collaboratively
- developing reflective practice
This continuing professional development (CPD) module will comprise a number of units of assessment that reflect the skills and attributes above and will complement existing continuing professional development structures and pathways.
If you are interested in involvement in the pilot from September 2008, please e-mail qtls@cityandguilds.com stating all of your centre details as well as an estimate of potential learner numbers.
As City & Guilds is currently submitting a tender to LLUK to carry out the pilots, we cannot guarantee that this tender will be successful and therefore are not at a stage where we can guarantee your centre can run this programme from September.
