SWCETT Members Working Together

 like us



The South West CETT is a partnership co-ordinated by Learning South West

 



Members from organisations within the partnership come together through a range of regional networks/forums and CPD events.


In addition, the SWCETT partnership is overseen by a SWCETT Management Group, which meets regularly to update, share news and explore opportunities to work together collaboratively on specific pieces of work.



The Management Group Membership is made up of colleagues from

•   Further Education
•   Higher Education
•   Adult & Community Learning
•   Work-based Learning
•   Specialist Educational Organisations
•   Public Services
•   Offender Learning
•   and the Third Sector
 

From 2007 to 2010 the Centres for Excellence in Teacher Training (CETTs) received Government funding through the Learning & Skills Improvement Service (LSIS).  This enabled SWCETT partners (working through the SWitch and Peninsula CETTS, which have since merged to create a single regional CETT) to undertake small collaborative projects to address key areas of work.


These included projects which produced useful resources around

•   Reflective Practice

•   Mentoring
      -  The SMILE Project (Supporting Mentoring
          in Adult Learning Environments)
      -  support materials including videos and
         podcasts of mentor practice; templates
         and examples of documentation
         and material to support reflective practice

•   Equality and Diversity

•   Supporting practitioners from a wide range of contexts to access and undertake
     ITT programmes, including producing guidance for those not used to academic
     writing around undertaking study at Level 4 - Contextualising ITT for Non-traditional
     Client Groups


and national and regional dissemination events on

•   Sustaining the Future of Teacher Education
     “Just Suppose” -  a national conference with
     a difference

•   "It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it!"
     -  a celebration of the SWitch Centre for
        Excellence in Teacher Training
