The 'Motivating Skills for Life Learners to Persist, Progress and Achieve' project (Hereafter PPA), funded by the Quality Improvement Agency and led by NRDC since 2006 aims to understand how learners, practitioners and organisations understand 'persistence', and develop evidence, tools and techniques to support learners, practitioners and organisations to overcome barriers to completion and continued learning.
We are holding three free to attend events to disseminate the findings from the project so far, to share the good practice developed by sites and to share free resources. If you are a practitioner, teacher, middle or senior manager, consultant or researcher we invite you to join us at one of the three events listed above.
The events will see the launch of the PPA CPD Module and the PPA Integrated Guide, and a range of interactive workshops including:
*
Updates from the project's development sites and their NIACE PPA Development Officers
*
The Persistence CPD module
*
Approaches to delivering and funding flexible basic skills provision
*
Using technology to support persistence
*
At Risk learners
*
ESOL and PPA
