Monday 2nd<\/sup> July \u2013 Adult & Community Learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Adult and Community Learning<\/strong> is the name given to adult education in the UK<\/strong>. The management team is at the Dudley Archives, Heritage and Local History Center \u2013 Dudley Metropolital Borough Cuncil (MBC)<\/span><\/strong>, but the Community Learning Manager\/s make regular visits to the different schools, which are called Neighbourhood Learning Centres<\/span><\/strong> NLCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.30 Meet with Janet Lavelle<\/strong>, Adult & Community Learning Manager, at Heritage, Local History, and Archives Centre – Dudley MBC.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.00 Visit to Castle and Priory Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC.)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where I can observe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Jobs Fair with Job Centre Plus<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Adult & Community Learning organises Job Fairs in different venues. Job providers (usually European Union or Government funded) provide traineeships and apprenticeships. In the case of Skills Training UK, learners have formal education say 2 days a week and work 3 days   a week. They get some pocket money every week too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. British Sign Language (BSL) Class<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The first level lasts 10 weeks and there will be a ten-week Level 2 in September. The idea to provide the course originally came from a survey the Adult & Community Learning did at one of the Primary Schools in the area among parents. Two of them claimed to have the need to upskill by learning BSL. One of the learners in this group is an assistant in a Primary School (every Primary School class in England and most Secondary Schools has assistant to help teachers in their everyday life in the class and support their work). They need to have qualifications. BSL is important in some classes where there\u2019s lack of communication among students of all ages, as it helps improve communication. Some schools teach BSL to their students, especially where there are students with special educational needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

11.00 Visit to Brierley Hill Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art class learners working on Heritage and Culture Projects objective: Black Country Day exhibition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The academic year is divided in 3 10-week courses, 3 hours a week, and learners pay for part of the course. Each of them has painted their own painting to exhibit on Black Country Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a volunteer assisting the tutor in anything he needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Meet with ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Tutor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult Education is organised as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o   Pre-Entry \u00e0 For people who cannot read or write<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o   ESOL \u00e0 Entry 1, 2 & 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o   Functional Skills \u2013 Levels 1 & 2. It\u2019s the equivalent to GCSE levels, and then learners can access college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESOL \u2013 Learners are taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a)     English and Maths (they have exams at the end of each term)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b)     Employability training (Portfolio)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is organised in Units, and after learners have taken a unit or some, they do their portfolio and send it to NOCN for them to certify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They learn the basic skills (L, Sp, R, Wr) + Employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESOL Tutor is a Primary School Teacher from Greece. She arranges the course according to one of the awarding bodies. Awarding bodies are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)  NOCN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.nocn.org.uk\/what-we-do\/esol-skills-for-life-and-international\/esol-skills-for-life-sample-assessments\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2)  City & Guilds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3)  Ascentis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She prepares her own materials following one of the awarding bodies, NOCN in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes there\u2019s a gap between the educational level they have reached at the end of ESOL and the level they need to have when they access Functional Skills, so in come schools they provide ESOL and Cooking, or ESOL and Employability,\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.00 \u2013 Meet with Scott Knight<\/strong> for a tour of the Art Block (School of Arts)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fee for British people to study at University of Wolverhampton School of Arts is 9000 stirling pounds a year. The cost is different for foreigner students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a wide range of courses: Textiles and Surface patterns, Illustration, Product Design, Furniture Design, Animation, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Fashion, Public Relations, Photography, Fine Art, Computer Games Design, Multimedia Journalism, Film and Television Studies, Media, Sculpture and Environmental Art, Painting and Printmaking, Glass and Ceramics. All the courses basically involve practical methodology so students learn by doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can join a full-time course, thereby finishing their degree after 3 years. It is also possible to choose a part-time course, so students normally graduate after 6 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school is fully equipped with the most modern technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting with International Placements Assistant, who provides information about how the University of Wolverhampton embeds or integrates employability in the curriculum by means of the Enterprise and Employability Award (TEF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some universities have an employability module instead of embedding employability in the curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students\u2019 skills analysis.

\n

The adult school is called Learning 4 Life<\/strong>, and they use the basement of the College. They have a kitchen everyone included students can use, 2 classrooms and an office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have private classes. They hire the tutor and he\/she brings people in that pay for the classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners are more socially connected and less isolated. These classes encourage them to leave their homes to do something that is really interesting for them. It increases their confidence and optimism, and it helps the National Health Service reduce mental\/any other issues these people may have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I observe a Spanish Language class where students with uneven ages have been attending the school year. The teacher follows a practical methodology and promotes the students\u2019 oral and writing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

I also observe an Art Class students have been attending for years. They are all retired people, but they affirm it\u2019s a wonderful thing to have this class as, for some of them, it\u2019s the only way to take them out of their homes. They pay 3,5 pounds per hour, and they attend one day for 2 hours. The teacher is very good, they say. This is the last day before the summer break and they are finalising their paintings. Learner exhibition: They have most of their paintings exhibited in big boards in the entrance and in the class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roseland House is a house that was refurnished to make it a place for reunion in the community offering a lounge area with armchairs, 2 classrooms and a kitchen. It is located in one of the lowest areas in Dudley, with so many family issues, unemployment and immigration. Education and community here are among the most extreme conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been difficult for the Adult & Community Learning to make it known among residents, but eventually they have it used for classes and it\u2019s become much more than just classes to learners. A group of women with difficult backgrounds joined the course \u2018Adult Social Care\u2019 and they have all been successful so they all got their certificate. It\u2019s a 2-year course learners study in College, but these students are allowed to study it in Roseland House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult learners needn\u2019t have the GCSE to study at College. It depends on what college they join. Some colleges require adult students to have for example Level 1 (Functional Skills) or Entry 1\/2\/3, but again, it depends on the college. Others require adult learners to study for Functional Skills at the same time. Others like the one the women at Roseland have joined do not have that requirement, so some of these learners are studying entries 1\/2\/3 and at the same time they are taking the 2-year course in Social Care & Community Provision. For this course, the Adult & Community Learning hired a Tutor for the first year. Now they have asked the college to provide the school with a Tutor, so the tutor in Roseland Home will be the same as in college. Some of the learners tried attending classes at college, but they didn\u2019t feel comfortable enough with the idea of being the eldest in the class among so many youngsters (they didn\u2019t feel comfortable among them). In Roseland House they feel at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
