We have tailor made an interactive programme for tutors delivering the new PDA: ITALL ( Introduction to Tutoring in Adult Literacies Learning) using our Understanding Standards website. This project provides tutors with new support on the principles behind the new award, active learning and a focus on real assessment of candidate work, including observed practice and reflective accounts. PDA: ITALL was modernised last year and is the starting point for many candidates involved in assisting tutors in adult literacies work. The award itself contributes to the professionalisation of those working with adult literacies learners and confirms standards for volunteer/ assistant tutors within the sector. The PDA is now made up of 4 units covering social practice approach and what that means for practitioners, planning, carrying out and reviewing delivery of literacy and numeracy with the support of appropriate resources including ICT - all of which are exemplified on the new resource. SQA along with our colleagues in Learning Connections, invite you to a demonstration of the new, interactive PDA ITALL resources. |
