Notice Title

Practice Development Groups for teachers and trainers in the Further Education and Training Sector

Notice Description

Several contracts have been awarded to establish Practice Development Groups (PDGs) in nine regions across England. This new ETF programme was designed to promote practitioner-led, collaborative professional development across the Further Education and Training sector. PDGs consist of action learning sets of practitioners who work together on a short-term, small-scale project to improve an aspect of their teaching, learning and assessment over a four-month period. Each successful tenderer is running two rounds of PDG's per academic year (October- January and January - April). The appointed tenderers act as hubs for 8-10 groups (4-5 per round) with group facilitators supporting participants in running action learning sets.
