FE Quality Action Plan
Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of the proposal is to more deeply embed a culture of quality assurance practice into the activities of VET teachers and trainers through a collaborative approach to curriculum development and sharing of good practice. A collaborative portal of educational resources and support of technology enhanced learning is being developed by the further education sector and this portal will ensure that new curriculum materials are accessible centrally to ensure consistency of approach that will support professional development to deliver the new systems of learning. In addition to hosting the agreed policy documentation and agreed frameworks, the portal will allow for the development of sectoral pedagogical resources to support specific course programmes and qualifications. These will have a strong focus on work orientation and project based learning which are key features of the new qualifications. Resources will be peer reviewed and shared across the sector resulting in raised standards while reducing costs by removing duplication of resources expended in the production of materials.It is recognised that this collaborative approach will be most effective if supported through cultural change interventions: training to facilitate the development of peer review and self reflective skills and attitudes so that relevant, appropriate and meaningful support and evaluation is provided. This will be facilitated by a workshop approach to training and interventions which will focus on quality assurance, using EQAVET tools and materials. This proposal also aims to develop closer links with partners in the Basque country making use of EQAVET material to promote mutual understanding and the promotion of good practice.
