Teaching

Members of the REAP team are involved in teaching and learning in the Department of Educational Research's undergraduate and postgraduate programmes as well as delivering staff development and sessions for adults and young people within the community.

Teaching and Learning in the Community

By working in partnership with community groups, REAP have developed and delivered culturally relevant sessions. REAP acted as consultants to Youth Re: action Team (YRAT), a group of upper secondary school students from Barrow-in-Furness who researched local people's views of the regeneration of their town.

Staff development

We also work with practitioners and teachers offering staff development to enable them to work more effectively with families. See the families web pages

Previous activity

In the past we have delivered a range of access level courses that were based on one of the four foundation credit frameworks. These courses had four goals:

  • to be culturally or socially relevant and useful
  • to give credit to different forms of knowledge and skills
  • to move people onto higher level study through staged progression
  • to provide new insights and knowledge about learning amongst socially excluded groups

Although this accreditation opportunity is not currently available we have experience of working with others to adopt some of the principles which we feel are necessary to achieve these goals.
