After starting an Enhancement placement at Hugh Baird College, Aaron soon decided that this setting was the direction he wanted for both this course and his career, and it was converted into a full time placement. One feature of Aaron's work on placement has been his wider contribution to the team, and in particular, the use of his technical skills to contribute to the wider 14-16 provision at Hugh Baird College. His professional mentor, Adam Rooney, explains: “We were looking at developing a tool to manage pupil progress against their predicted grade. At the start of his placement, Aaron showed his expertise and knowledge to develop both Year 10 and Year 11 spreadsheets to meet the needs of our department. This is still a working document and is currently being used every term within our progress meetings. Without Aaron’s efforts to impress and willingness to showcase his knowledge, this spreadsheet would be nowhere near as good as it currently is.” Jade Cathy is an Undergraduate Higher Diploma student studying Further Education and Training. She describes her journey here: “I parked my car and thought: this is it Jade you did it! I was the first child in our family to go to university, how did someone like me get here? I took a deep breath and made my way to the entrance. It was really big with so many people in the same position as me on our first day. I looked around thinking; I wonder if he is clever or did she get all A’s at school? Everyone else looked comfortable and I felt like I was way out of my depth. Learning didn’t come easy to me as I struggle to take things in and retain information, but give me something practical to do and I will have no problem. I soon got the hang of things with lots of help and encouragement from the people in my class. The teaching team would stay behind and help me understand how to put my ideas and thoughts into my projects. The first assignment to me felt like a mountain of work but once I got into the swing of things I was away, I would ask for help and the teachers supported me and nothing was too much trouble. I had my work placement at Hugh Baird College and loved it, I enjoyed helping other students find what they were good at and what they struggled with and with all the encouragement that Edge Hill University teachers had shown me I took this on board used this to help the students I was working with. I really enjoyed being at a University, no-one ever made you feel stupid or inadequate it was like a second family who helped you along the way. We had laugher, tears, stress and lots of fun! I will be leaving here with lots of confidence and knowledge on how I can be a better person, with lots of advice on how to be a good teacher and further my career. This will all help as I have been offered a job a Hugh Baird College teaching and I have gained lots of experience and made some friends for life.” Jade Carthy – UHD FET Student 2016 Contributions like these are one of the reasons EHU FET trainees are welcomed into placement. Innovation, to help bring new ideas into placement settings, is just one of the positive reasons for having an EHU student. EHU Partnership Case Study: Power In Partnership “My time at Edge Hill University has been a truly positive experience and a period of improvement and self-reflection, as well as making some true friends for life. I will not only gain a great teaching qualification and hopefully become an outstanding (grade 1) teacher, but also gain many transferable skills to become an even better teacher in the future. The course has been challenging and the amount of paperwork is extreme and I do not think that any amount of discussion or pre-warning from tutors can really prepare anyone for what happens during a PGCE. That being said, the support from your fellow students and tutors ensures that we all feel like we can get through each assignment and the teaching observations. I am fortunate that I have had an excellent setting for my professional practice placement, which has allowed me to fully develop my teaching abilities in the type of setting that I wanted to specialise in, working with young adults disengaged from mainstream education. Again, I have been extremely fortunate that my placement has offered me a job at the end of the course, something which I am excited about, (and quite relieved). Furthermore, I will be enrolling on a PhD course at Lancaster University in September, to conduct research in Dyslexia and its impact on language learning in education, particularly focussing on young adults who have not had good experiences in educational settings. This research topic is directly related to my experience on the PGCE FET course and in my placement setting.” Jamie Lees – PGCE FET Student 2016 Further Education and Training 2 .

  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

    North-West Introduction The North-West has an area of around 14,000 km2 and a population of over 6.3 million. The metropolitan area of Greater Manchester is by far the most significant centre of population, with 2.5 million people in the city and its wider conurbation. Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges. An additional 42 further education colleges provide higher education courses. There are almost 177,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students in higher education in the region.
