David Powell, Director of The Education and Training Consortium, writes on how the theories of practice architectures and ecologies of practices can enable us to understand teaching, learning and assessment differently and to transform our own practices.
He describes how these theories can be applied within the context of GCSE re-sits, and outlines how over 40Â education and training providers participating in the North East and Cumbria Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment (OTLA) are using the theories in 13 projects to develop and share approaches for ensuring outstanding practice across a range of contexts and topics.

The proportion of post-16 students achieving a GCSE grade 4 or above was down this year for both maths and English compared to 2019, before the pandemic. Additional demand for English and maths resits is anticipated for the 2023/2024 academic year.
Newcastle College has part time CELTA, TAQA and Award in Education and Training courses that are ideal for those who want to gain new skills and knowledge but have work and study commitments.
