Havant and South Downs College leads region's further education training

The college will lead the South East component of the national Education and Training Foundation (ETF) Practice Development Group (PDG) programme.

The initiative will involve the region’s teachers and lecturers working on projects to improve an aspect of teaching, learning and assessment to enhance their teaching of English or their embedding of maths and English into other programmes of study.

Dom Thompson, HSDC’s lead coach on the project, said: ‘We’ve been developing a culture of research over the past four years and are nominated for one of the prestigious Further Education TES Awards.

‘Winning this ETF tender means we can move to the next step in helping to foster a culture of research and enquiry led practice across the region. ‘We will be able to run events where people will be able to network and share their ideas and provide support and guidance for action research projects.

‘We are honoured to be leaders as one of the ten regions taking part in this project.’
