LSIS commitment to Advanced Change Agents – CPD Recognition scheme
These are the Teaching and Learning programmes, all linked through a common purpose of improving the quality of teaching and learning A change agent is an individual who: is recruited prior to implementation of a change; is a well-regarded representative of the area they work in; understands the reasoning behind the change; helps to communicate the excitement, possibilities and details of the change to others within the organisation; has the knowledge, skills and techniques to support their peers to transform the way they work.
Anything about the modular approach ? Pathway 1 – Existing advanced change agents supported with online modules, cascade funding, new resources, Cascader, etc Pathway 2 – New advanced change agents – Consultation with the sector to consider the core generic module[s] + electives Pathway 3 – Organisations without change agents – how to support them: ACA directory; Training; CETTs’ training ?
FiF: Bids, for up to a maximum of £50,000, will be invited from consortia of provider organisations for projects which are genuinely innovative and which have the potential to significantly enhance the practice and performance of the learning and skills sector. LSIS will particularly welcome bids from providers working through cross-sector and extra-sector consortium arrangements. Bids from individual provider organisations will not be accepted in this funding round. LSIS will continue to encourage innovative bids on a variety of topics that address the strategic priorities of the sector. However, for this funding round we will particularly welcome consortia bids that address specific issues and problems in defined locations – based on the principles of Total Place* (* see ‘guidance on submitting applications’ listed below). STEM subscriber package – potentially 3 per region; details will be sent to subscribers
