About
The Education and Training Foundation awarded contracts to NCG, Calderdale College, Havant and South Downs College, Association of Colleges, Burnley College, Touchconsulting Ltd, and Skills and Education Group to establish Practice Development Groups (PDGs) in nine regions across England.
The programme promoted practitioner-led, collaborative professional development across the Further Education and Training sector.
PDGs consisted of action learning sets of practitioners working on short-term, small-scale projects to improve teaching, learning, and assessment over a four-month period.
Each successful tenderer ran two rounds of PDGs per academic year (October–January and January–April) and acted as hubs for 8–10 groups (4–5 per round), with group facilitators supporting participants in running action learning sets.
The total contract value was AUD 157,173.6.
