Документ1 Department Review Automotive Author: Stephen Walker Ensure curriculum delivery is varied, so whilst students learn their own trade they are made aware of other careers within the industry. Delivering a couple of sessions in other trades would be an advantage. Implementation Review our teaching strategies and move teaching forward with technical and IT related resources. More hands on, students’ participation. Modelling, addressing mistakes, co-operative learning, concept learning, student led classes and discussions. Impact Keep ensuring that our curriculum evolves, meets the evolving face of Motor Vehicles and delivers the tools and skills that our students need to ensure a positive career within Automotive. Behaviour and Attitudes Evaluative judgements, evidence and impact Include disciplinary, QDP data, Attendance and punctuality Outcomes from learning walks and OTLs regarding behaviour and attitude Attendance and punctuality really impact Automotive students with theory lessons, Maths and English with the latter taking the brunt of non-attendance. This year: Attendance 75.3% Punctuality 89.6 % 16-18 – 75.3% 19+ -16.7 % Disciplines are usually based around attendance but we have this year had some difficult students with numerous issues. Learning walks occur and feedback on staff is very positive. The delivery in workshops is fantastic, we just need to home in on Maths and English, making it integral to the theory lessons. Документ1 Department Review Automotive Author: Stephen Walker Personal Development Evaluative judgements, evidence and impact Include range of personal opportunities, learners understanding of Prevent and British Values (Focus Group outcomes and QDP), Extracurricular activities and participation rates, Careers programme, industry days, work experience, skills competitions and health and wellbeing. Prevent and British values are embedded within most power points and workshop spaces. Extracurricular activities are in abundance with the College offering numerous, different activities. Most students try the activities but it is still ‘socially’ seen as a no go to most students. Industry days have occurred as have taster days, work experience has been a low take up due to covid and travel restrictions, but we are looking at the more guest speakers and previous student talks to move us forward. Inter college competitions occurred with Automotive attending Warrington Collegiate. (We had a first place) World Skills was a success, but a lot of students refused he challenge. Leadership and Management Evaluative judgements, evidence and impact Include high expectations, links with parents, employers and stakeholders – links to curriculum development, professional development of staff, wellbeing of staff Having joined 10 months ago, I brought my expectations to the team with my past experience. Staff are always in contact with parents and recently we have started to communicate with employers to raise our status and show that what we are delivering meets industry needs. Companies such as Mercedes, VW and Jaguar have provided input into college curriculum delivery and provided literature and staff to support delivery. Staff have been achieving their CPD and one technician has just been submitted for their Cert Ed certificate. We have discussed their further needs and it is based around assessing and IQA. The college are really driving health & wellbeing and the support to staff is immense, sicknesses have reduced and involvement as a group in college activities has increased Документ1
