Newcastle College

 

About Us

 

Newcastle College is the largest provider of further and higher education in the North East. In its last Ofsted/ALI inspection, the college was judged to be outstanding in its leadership and management, response to educational and social inclusion, and in its guidance and support; teaching and learning were rated outstanding in six curriculum areas, good in four and satisfactory in one. The college has a dedicated Sixth Form and seven schools that deliver a broad range of academic and vocational provision from Entry Level to Level 5. In addition, there are three off-site campuses delivering adult and community learning (ACL) and a School of Workforce Development. Learning opportunities are also available for 14–19 year olds to support their progression into vocational education.

 

Newcastle College has extensive experience in the delivery of a broad range of courses related to teaching and learning. In the academic year 2005–06, more than 400 teacher trainees enrolled and completed the following courses:

• 7302 An Introduction to Delivering Learning (150 trainees)
• 7407 Stages 1 and 2 (120 trainees)
• CertEd (validated by Leeds Metropolitan University) (15 trainees)
• DipHE (validated by Leeds Metropolitan University) (51 trainees)
• BA (Hons) Lifelong Learning (18 trainees completed Year 1, and 12 completed Year 2)
• Assessor and Verifier Awards (50 trainees)

 

"The overall aim of our project was to develop an on-line tool for individualised recording and reflection on professional development skills, and activities associated with teacher training in the learning and skills sector."
