Individual Learning Plans

This section is about improving your individual learning plans. It explores how they can be more informative for learners, training staff and employers, how they can capture relevant information that can drive achievement and how they can be used to plan overall training programmes. Good individual learning plans provide a firm foundation for successful outcomes.

There are a possible six quality improvement actions that you can consider for improving your use of individual learning plans, take a look at each and decide how you could use or adapt them to plan improvements to your provision. Please look at the relevant Building Better Practice and Good Practice Database examples for this area as these highlight what Ofsted inspections have identified as particularly effective practice from providers. Each action includes an activity plan for you to adapt for use with your staff. This is a Word document that can be adapted to form a template for organising improvement activities. The activity plan may be linked to resources such as handouts and link to Building Better Practice and Good Practice Database examples for you to consider with your colleagues. There is a blank AQI action plan that you can use and adapt to help manage your improvements, containing review points and a suggested 'RAG' system to help keep you on target. Please also remember to do a search on the Excellence Gateway which contains many useful links to the quality improvement work of other agencies and highlights up-to-date examples of effective practice in the Further Education sector.
