Core Skills. 2.1 In order to develop the Core Skills of Numeracy, Communication, ICT, Working with Others and Problem Solving in mainstream College provision, the College strategy is to:- Where appropriate incorporate contextualised discrete Numeracy, Communication and ICT units within course programmes and promote ICT pervasiveness in the curriculum. • Through programme design and lesson planning, promote the inclusion and development of Working with Others and Problem Solving (and other similar essential skills for life and work) through appropriate learning activities and experiences, and ensure that progress is recorded in individual learning plans. • Put in place arrangements to allow learners who have already achieved the Core Skills level for the programme to progress to the next level, and to support those whose Core Skill entry level is such that they cannot readily achieve the Core Skills level for the programme. • Implement a diagnostic approach to establishing Core Skills competency for non-advanced full- time learners (with the exception of ESOL and Learning Opportunities students) to establish and record individual skill levels and promote the full development of Core Skills: o recognition by students of acknowledgement of prior attainment. o course overviews and lesson plans to include planning for Core Skills development at individual and class level. o early intervention and support for learners with particular difficulties. o further development of learners who are already at the required level and who have the capacity to make further progress. o teaching staff to differentiate the learning and teaching experiences of learners to accommodate differing levels of core skills in any class group. • Enabling learners to see the relevance of Core Skills to their overall employability and citizenship skills profile. • Encouraging curriculum teams to be innovative in their approaches to reflecting on core skills development with learners. • Enabling HE learners to self profile by giving access to profiling software through StudentNet.
