Ref No: 080035
Published date: 2008
Author: LSDA NI
Programme Area: NI
Theme: Enhanced Curriculum Design
Summary: It is hoped to put behaviour management on the agenda in colleges and training organisations and to also support a training initiative developed by LSDA NI as part of its mission to provide targeted staff development for the sector. It is also intended to promote a whole organisation approach to addressing challenging and disruptive behaviour. The publication has been designed for lecturers, trainers, tutors and managers and leaders in colleges and training organisations and is meant to be relevant to all those who deliver and support the delivery of learning in an educational or training setting. Although intended for the post-16 sector, it may be of interest to other providers e.g. schools and community groups or voluntary agencies. This is not a self-help booklet on behaviour management. It is not meant to substitute for supportive training or staff development, or to take the place of individual college initiatives.

Ref No: 080052
Published date: 2008
Author: Frank Coffield
Programme Area: R
Theme: Planning and Structure
Summary: In an age of government priorities and targets, just suppose teaching and learning became the first priority...' This is the topic that the Learning and Skills Network asked Professor Frank Coffield to explore as a part of our series of projects on teaching and learning. Professor Coffield has certainly risen to the challenge, creating an independent and inspiring piece of work. In his own uniquely challenging way, he argues that teaching and learning should regain its rightful place as the main focus of the post-compulsory education sector. This report will strike a chord with the many people working across education who are driven by the desire to help learners achieve their goals.
