What is being bought
Several contracts have been awarded to establish Practice Development Groups (PDGs) in nine regions across England. This new ETF programme was designed to promote practitioner-led, collaborative professional development across the Further Education and Training sector. PDGs consist of action learning sets of practitioners who work together on a short-term, small-scale project to improve an aspect of their teaching, learning and assessment over a four-month period. Each successful tenderer is running two rounds of PDG’s per academic year (October- January and January – April). The appointed tenderers act as hubs for 8-10 groups (4-5 per round) with group facilitators supporting participants in running action learning sets.
