Notice Title
T Level Professional Development (TLPD) Evaluation
Notice Description
The department requires the research to be designed around undertaking a process evaluation of Phase I of TLPD, and to provide some indication of change in providers' confidence ahead of T Levels. This could be achieved through looking at before and after measures of whether staff feel more prepared etc. The successful contractor should utilise monitoring data already collected by the delivery partner (ETF), whilst working closely with them to help minimise burden on the sector. A range of methods will be required for the process evaluation data collection including but not restricted to interviews and focus groups, as well as potentially surveys with key stakeholders and officials (including DfE, and the ETF Professional Development Advisors) and T Level 2020 providers. The evaluation will seek to answer the following questions: - How effective has TLPD been in meeting its aims? Is it on track to do so? - Do recipients feel they better understand T Levels? - Do recipients feel their pedagogical skills have increased, do they understand their subject better? Do they feel more able to embed maths, English and detail within their teaching? - Was the level of support provided by the ETF during TLPD right? Was the programme sufficiently flexible and accessible to allow providers to take part? - Have the networks and hubs made a difference to how prepared colleges are to deliver T Levels, has best practice been effectively shared? - How the process can be improved ahead of Phase II? - What elements of the process have worked well? Why? - What elements of the process haven't worked well? Why? - What lessons can be learned and applied to Phase II? - Do staff within 2020 and 2021 providers feel more prepared for T Levels? Has staff confidence in delivering T Levels improved? Have they had the training that they think is required? - Do leaders feel better prepared to manage the change that T Levels will require? - Do participants feel the quality of training provided was appropriate? - What evidence is there that colleges and staff are preparing for T level delivery? - What have been the unintended consequences? - Has TLPD accessed the widest possible range of T Level staff? Have any staff members missed out on training? Please Note: Deadline for Expression of Interest (EOI) is: 5pm Tuesday 12th February 2019
