A 2018 calendar produced by conference artist Graham Ogilvie to celebrate the success of the North East and Cumbria Outstanding Teaching Learning and Assessment (OTLA) is available to download and print.
Graham produced the series of cartoons at the OTLA interim dissemination event in September 2017, as a way of capturing participants’ ideas and helping them to represent their projects.
The North East and Cumbria OTLA, funded by The Education and Training Foundation and managed by a consortium led by Success North, enabled groups of providers to access collaborative development grants to investigate and develop teaching, learning and assessment approaches for the benefit of learners. The collaborative partnerships comprised 19 providers from different sectors, including FE, work based learning, offender learning and community settings. Participants developed and shared approaches for ensuring outstanding practice across a range of contexts and topics. Projects were informed by relevant practice-based research leading to improved teaching and learning, demonstrable through enhanced learner outcomes.
Check out the Skills for Life Network E-News Update November 2025 for a round up of what’s new and what’s happening in maths, English, ESOL and digital skills in the FE and Training sector.
Skills England has published its analysis of future employment needs which shows that occupations in Digital, Adult Social Care, Construction and Engineering will have the greatest additional employment demand between 2025 and 2030.
