Embedded English, maths and digital for T Levels consists of two parts. Part 2 courses are aimed at those who have either attended Part 1 of the course, or who have engaged with the TLPD offer in previous academic years.
Part 1 of the Embedded English, maths and digital for T Levels course is for teachers working directly with learners in the delivery and assessment of T Levels, including staff in school sixth forms, Further Education, and other settings. This session is aimed at practitioners who will be delivering T Levels, not maths and English teachers. The course is designed to build confidence and skills for teachers in delivering the embedded English, maths and digital (EMD) content. Although this is a non-subject specific course, delegates will have opportunities to explore some subject-specific examples as well as maintain a holistic approach to the general competencies. The course will explore the EMD competencies and suggest how these can be used to develop EMD skills of learners in a range of T Level contexts. It will examine some practical ideas to help teachers develop confidence and skills in the teaching, learning and assessment of these competencies.
Part 2 of Embedded English, maths and digital for T Levels will explore practical strategies that will support practitioners who are already in delivery, as well as pre-delivery and those who may have taken an Embedded English, maths and digital course in the past. This course will use practical activities to explore the development of learners’ EMD competencies and analyse approaches for applying and transferring the explicit skills needed by learners into T Levels.
