Embedding Maths and English Rachel McCarthy David Croft

Aims and Objectives for this Session Aim: To explore ways to embed Maths and English into your programme delivery Objectives: By the end of the session you will be able to: Recognise and record opportunities for embedding English and Maths Identify the codes to use on your planning documentation List 6 opportunities to integrate Maths and/or English into a selected topic Be able to locate relevant documentation on the VLE

Initial assessment Individually please answer the following questions: Do you embed Maths and English into your current delivery? Give an example of how you embed Maths? Give an example of how you embed English?

Research demonstrates that there are higher retention and success rates on embedded and contextualised courses. This is the case across all levels, on average retention is 16% higher on embedded courses and success rates are 17% higher when embedding takes place.

Common Inspection Framework: Responsibility: where relevant, English, mathematics and other skills necessary to function as an economically active member of British society and globally are promoted through teaching and learning Common Inspection Framework:

Hampshire Futures Quality Improvement Plan Post Ofsted Inspection April 2016 For learners, an embedded approach can build and give value to the main course subject, build their confidence and encourage progression to English and maths qualifications Tutors who deliver adult and community learning; apprenticeships; traineeships; and study programmes outside of formal functional skills delivery are required to embed English and maths where relevant opportunities arise. (full policy available on VLE) Ofsted Inspection February 2018 Tutors are confident and integrate English and mathematics into their subject content well (P3) In many instances tutors take the opportunity to incorporate relevant and appropriate mathematics and English skills development activities into lessons. This is very effective in motivating learners to improve their knowledge and skills (P5) Learners gain English and mathematics skills and qualifications to prepare them for work or FE (P6

Embedding English Codes English codes are as follows: ER= English Reading EWGC= English Writing Grammar and Composition (structure) EWP= English Writing Punctuation EWS= English Writing Spelling ESLC= English Speaking Listening and Communication

Activity 1 – Cooking session Plan On the session plan provided, please enter the appropriate codes in the functional skills column, of any examples of where you consider Maths and English can be embedded. Discuss findings

Activity 2 In pairs, discuss a specific lesson you have taught in your own subject area and identify 6 opportunities where you can now use Maths and English codes. Explain how embedding can take place. Be prepared to feedback to whole group.
