There will be an opportunity to attend 2 workshops during the day.
Workshop 1 - Numeracy for Literacy Specialists
Workshop Facilitators – Helen Oughton, Lecturer, L4 Cert for Numeracy Subject Specialists, University of Derby and Skills for Life tutor, Derbyshire County Council Adult Community Education This Workshop will appeal to:
Literacy specialists who need to teach occasional numeracy. The focus will be on classroom practice with ideas for successful approaches to teaching numeracy and hands-on use of practical resources.

Workshop 2 – Catching Confidence
Workshop Facilitators - Julie Frost, Development & Quality Officer, Derbyshire Learning and Development Consortium for the VCS and Sarah Legood, SfL Manager, SEDC. This Workshop will:
Introduce delegates to Catching Confidence which is an approach to identify and record changes in confidence during learning. It is a way of helping learners to reflect on their confidence in the learning situation and record any changes, which arise. It is particularly helpful where learning is not accredited and fits comfortably alongside the RARPA (Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement) process. Gaining confidence is one of the keys to the successful development of literacy, language and numeracy skills through the governments’ Skills for Life strategy and is relevant to the national Learning and Skills Council’s widening participation strategy.

• on-line learning resources and useful (free!) downloadable software • ways of successfully embedding e-learning in your practice Unfortunately, this is not a hands-on session, but you will go away with some easy-to-use templates, ‘how 2’ guides and resources and with some practical ideas as to how you can make e-learning work for you and your learners.
