Lifestyles Faculty Away Day by Gillian Davidson https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2 Please contribute by reflecting on positves and challenges of this year's curriculum design. What do we need to do as a team to create a seamless offer across the Faculty? en-us 2017-02-09 10:24:25 UTC 2017-05-17 08:07:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Hospitality davidsong1 https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723320 2017-02-09 10:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723320 Sport davidsong1 https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723342 2017-02-09 10:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723342 Hairdressing davidsong1 https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723378 2017-02-09 10:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723378 Beauty Therapy davidsong1 https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723482 2017-02-09 10:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152723482 English and Maths https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152995288 2017-02-10 08:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/152995288 Hospitality https://padlet.com/davidsong1/eln1ppih0sq2/wish/153019002 would be good to streamline the work and have more structure to the faculty having everything in place well in advance of the year starting.

Have more structure in the time tables so to allow longer periods of AOB rather than hour here and hour there.

I think 95% of the employers involved in the hospitality area are to a good standard.

Need better structure to the exempt hours and these should be registered.

Found it hard to follow the tutorial structure. Would be good having it calendar structured for compulsory topics and then infield with other topics so we know what to do for each week for the 35 weeks.

The forms for the work experience for employers should be done via the work experience lead, this would make it quicker to have all the information needed

If I have 2 sports, 1 Media make up and 12 hair students in a Group, and the 1 Media make up student is absent it shows 100% for one week and the following 0%.  Clearly the overall attendance in that group is much higher.

2 hour lessons are too long, 11/2 hour sessions would be preferable. (2 hour sessions are split into hour sessions for registers so an absence for a 2 hour session is shown as 2 absences.

The classroom being away from main curriculum area the students do not like, especially if they have classes following on directly afterwards.

Students prefer English lessons earlier in the day rather than after practical sessions and also don't like long gaps in between lessons or coming in just for English.
