Experiences and Outcomes Literacy Across Learning Numeracy Across Learning Health and Well Being Across Learning

Experiences and Outcomes Youth work staff incorporating Es and Os in planning Adult learning more of a challenge as these are geared towards children/young people and assigning levels sits at odds with the social practice model However………

Family Learning: creche “stay and play” CLD worker supported creche worker to develop routines, use of singing rhymes and storytelling in “stay and play” sessions Worker identified CLD learning outcomes at the planning stage and also identified appropriate health and well being outcomes which she “adapted” to fit this learning opportunity……….

Family Learning: creche “stay and play” Creche worker and parents know that friendship, caring, sharing, fairness, equality and love are important in building positive relationships. As they develop and value relationships, they care and show respect for themselves and others (HWB all levels-05a) Children and parents will enjoy regular opportunities to participate in different kinds of energetic play within creche setting and hopefully repeat activities at creche/home on a regular basis (HWB0-25a)

Creche “stay and play”: what the learners said “They love interacting with other children and joining in with the action songs. Lots of variety /toys/ books etc. Very welcoming.” (childminder) HWB0-25a, 05a

Creche “stay and play”: what the learners said “Ross looks forward to creche, mixing with other children and playing with them. Since we started singing and dancing at creche, he is dancing more with the television. From a personal point of view I feel that Ross has become more independent.” (Mum) HWB0-25a, 05a

Benefits of using Es and Os in adult learning CLD practitioners develop shared language with school staff which supports planning of partnership work Es and Os encourage practitioners to be specific about the skills required to achieve social practice goals eg “I want to read information from the school and respond if needed.”

Ongoing CPD Practitioner working sessions Developing use of Es and Os, where appropriate, alongside CLD outcomes Practitioners undertake joint training with school staff in learning communities Monitor and review
