Hello
We are looking into our management of key skills at this college and I
should be glad if you could help with some info regarding key skills at
your colleges . We use OCR for key skills with approximately 2500 students
being registered. The control and administration is proving extremely
difficult and I wondered how this is managed in other colleges -
Which Exam Board do you use ?
Do you have students taking a level 3 key skills - do they do just one key
skill at level 3 ? Do they chose which one ?
How many teaching hours per week are allocated ?
How do you manage portfolios ? - do you students do both test and portfolio ?
How good is your attendance at exams and in classes ?
What sort of success rate do you have ?
I would be reallu interested to have your comments on this one.
I am finding the admin to OCR is extremely difficult with all but the exam
entry being paper-based. All results also come in manually and tracking of
students is very difficult. OCR also need key skills registration up front
which to me is just another process which requires administration.
Any colleges out there who use AQA ? Any comments on this Board please ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean Boardman
Bury College.
