Dear All
 
Can you help with this? 
 
As part of the QIA Skills for Life Improvement Programme, LLU+ have been commissioned to develop and pilot entry assessments to meet the new criteria for entry to the Level 5 Diplomas in teaching Numeracy, Literacy and ESOL in the lifelong learning sector.

We are currently collating entry assessments that are being used by teacher-training providers and we would be grateful if you would be prepared to share your assessments with us; we are hoping to build up a collection of sample entry assessments by the end of November. We will also be looking for assistance in piloting the new entry assessments.  Once they have been piloted, we will make a range of assessments available to organisations to use, through the Skills for Life Improvement Programme.

Would you please let me know if you are able to help in any way - your support will be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Judith
