It is easy to assume that, as soon as students embark on Post 16 study, they automatically become well-motivated independent learners. More often, these young people have been spoon-fed, tracked and monitored, as schools have responded to the need to improve outcomes at KS4 at all costs.

There is consequently often less monitoring of the quality of teaching, learning and provision than in other phases of education. The course will take a three-fold approach: on the needs of individual students, the development of effective teaching and learning and the importance of consistent approaches across the whole institution and how all these should work together to encourage students to become genuine independent learners.
