Core Skills
Project Details
Adult literacy and numeracy resources that can be used both as professional learning for educators and trainers and as practical teaching strategies for workplace- and classroom-based learning. Resources cover topics such as communication skills, developing a CV and understanding statistics.
Key Points to Note:
- Teaching programmes that address learners' literacy and numeracy needs enhance learner engagement and promote learner success.
- This suite of Core Skills resources supports some key areas which educators and learners can find challenging.
- These resources aim to support the development of literacy and numeracy skills for learners in the classroom and the workplace.
- It is expected that tutors will use, adapt and extend the ideas in these resources to meet the needs of learners and their own teaching situations.
