About this module

Understand how to expand teaching and learning programmes to embed core life skills. Take this module to see how core skills can be integrated into existing programmes with efficacy and enhanced learning outcomes.

• By the end of unit 1, you'll be able to define core skills and explain the evidence base for focusing on core skills
• By the end of unit 2, you'll be able to prioritise core skills according to context and recognise effective approaches to core skills teaching
• By the end of unit 3, you'll be able to identify the strengths and limitations of your own teaching/learning programmes and identify possible areas for development

Duration: Three hours self-study (available for four weeks between 7th September and 2 October 2020)
