The team at Adult Learning don't just support single learners, we can provide group support too.
The recent Let’s Get Started course at Lochside Learning
Centre was delivered in collaboration between Scott from CLD and Gail from
Adult Learning. It was predicted that students attending this group may be in
need of literacy support, however the approach in the group was initially one
of co-delivery, with our different roles emerging later as the participants got
to know us.
One learner requested scribing help early on, though this
was mainly due to lack of confidence, so the learner was helped and encouraged
to write on her own at various times within the course.
Although other learners didn’t require literacy support in
order to complete this course, five of the seven participants did request
separate literacy support in a range of subjects including reading, writing,
numeracy and IT.
The collaborative approach trialled with this group allowed
the literacy team to become known to another group of potential learners,
building a rapport with them and developing the links between Adult Learning
and CLD at Lochside.
