Summary

Learning and Teaching is the core business of colleges and Board Members who take a particular interest in this need to know how to add maximum value to the efforts of staff without being experts themselves. This workshop is the first time the sector has offered Board Members an opportunity to focus on this central topic. It is also a chance to get to know your counterparts in other boards.

Education Scotland is currently working on an analysis of the reports submitted by each college last year as part of the new Quality Framework. This Framework puts the onus squarely on colleges and their Boards to identify their own areas for learning and teaching improvements. This day will explore the themes starting to emerge from the analysis of these reports and help you to be ready to provide Governance and Leadership as we move into the second year.
