3. 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

4. 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?

5. 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. (IOE London 2014)

7. 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

8. 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

9. Embedding Maths Codes Maths codes are as follows: MN= Maths number
MF= Maths Fractions
MD= Maths Decimals
MM= Maths Measures
MSS= Maths Shape and Space
MHD= Maths Handling Data

10. 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

12. 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.
