Enhancing the Quality of Teaching and Learning in FE.
What is the New City College Teaching and Learning Lab?
The aim of the Teaching and Learning lab is to enhance the quality of teaching and leadership in the Further Education sector, drive standards and ultimately improve outcomes for our students.
Through a practitioner-led approach, we seek to champion the quality of teaching and training across further education.
We encourage our practitioners to undertake research projects, pushing the boundaries of teaching and learning and tackling the big questions in the FE sector.
Through mentoring and coaching practitioners are encouraged to share best practice, challenge and inspire each other.
