Background
The title of our 2015 conference is called: “The Learning Revolution” and reflects our belief in the need to publicly recognise, discuss and explore the artistry and science of effective teaching and learning in Further Education.
The conference aims to engage our audience in a re-imagination of the ‘learning experience’ for post-16 learners. We hope to ignite a debate about the purpose of learning in FE colleges, the the need for more creative, imaginative pedagogy in classrooms, about the political and philosophical levers of educational change, and the varied and contestable practices used to define and improve teaching performance in FE. It is also a chance to celebrate the many wonderful and visionary ideas that colleges and practitioners are using to transform the classroom experience. These themes are considered against a General Election campaign context in which the main political parties have pledged to revolutionise the educational opportunities for learners in schools and colleges.
The conference asks the fundamental question: Do we know what learners want from their FE education? Are today's learners different from learners of 20 or 30 years ago? What do we expect from tomorrow's teachers? Is the OFSTED framework a help or a hindrance to the development of effective teaching practice? Is there room for creativity in today's classrooms? How will college's respond to the raising of the school leaving age? Are we seeing the privatisation of the educational experience as we know it?
