City College Peterborough

Inspiring Induction Practices

  • By creating a Gold Quality Standard which provides learners with an outstanding experience which sets the scene for the rest of their journey with the College. Consider how to ensure evaluations are based on the ‘differences’ and not ‘the stuff’. Providing our ‘formula for happiness’.

Perfecting Progress Reviews

  • Metamorphosis of a chrysalis to a butterfly. Transformative!
  • Scrapping what Ofsted are looking for and it being a tick-box exercise for them, and creating a standard that is learner specific. Looking at the Organisation’s aspiration for achieving ‘outstanding’ by collating emotional and academic evidence. Changing terminology to actually mean something to the learner and demonstrating ‘rich pedagogy’.

The Art of Using Target Setting

  • Previously missing the target but now hitting bulls eye.
  • Writing targets which the learner understands and being appropriate to the individual; being able to coach learners with their aspirations; completing initial diagnostics over a period of weeks rather than at the very beginning which might result in poor data.
  • The main thing I will take away is when you mentioned about not stealing provenance by leading learners to do what the tutor wants them to do just because they’re passionate about their own subject.

The CCQI Self-Assessment Strategy

  • It was like dancing in the rain rather than wading through mud.
  • Identifying the ‘symptoms’ before getting down to the ‘issue’ Go down the rabbit hole and keep digging.
