Learning Activity 1.3
Independent StudyFor my independent study, I would like to do some research on the proposed reforms to education for 14 to 19 year olds. I intend to look at:
-Why reforms have been made
-Why current and previous models for engagement of young people in employment/ purposeful education have been unsuccessful
-The main challenges & rewards for teachers delivering to 14 to 19 disaffected young people
I intend to draw upon the experience of e2e colleagues, current literature and attitudes of 'mainstream' colleagues amongst other sources for this work.
Hi Charlotte
This looks an interesting topic for your independent study. Please continue by posting your assignment objectives onto your reflections page. I certainly agree that this White Paper has a great relevance to your work as a teacher at NEW College and therefore you should find it stimulating and motivating to complete. There should be a number of viewpoints from various academics either on the web, or via the Journal of Higher and Further Education. It usually has good articles.
As an aside – Shelley has said to me that you need to mark up your reflections (blog) entries as tutor and me, as a the moment the world can see your entries.
Thanks
Helen
