Why do we need to capture the Learner Voice?

To make staff aware of:

1. The key role of Learner Voice Feedback in monitoring the quality of teaching and learning delivery

2. The role of Learner Voice within the new Ofsted Common Inspection Framework.

3. The need to support and promote Learner Voice Feedback activities

Why we need to do it

Why we do it

Learner voice is an important part of the new Ofsted

Common inspection framework.

Our learners viewpoint MUST match our own quality reviews and inform our policy making decisions.

learner voice | why we do it

Learners are not trained observers but each is a valuable data point.

Learners are the only people present at all teaching whether delivered on or off site and thuscan provide more completefeedback.

We need to listen to our learners in order to improve services and the simple act of listening will improve their experience

learner voice | benefits

We can get instant feedback from the group of people who are most important

We demonstrate our priorities to Ofsted

It provides an evidence base for the SAR

We have an opportunity to compare our view of our services with that of those that use them

learner voice | issues

We need to remember that any collection of evidence takes time and places more pressure on staff, we need to collect feedback intelligently to reduce workload.

It is important to remember that this is not an opportunity to collect negative comments on staff. It is a chance to collect additional data enabling us to compare and improve both our provision and service

learner voice | importance

A teaching observation is a 20 minutes snapshot of delivery on an entire programme and can be affected by nerves, a bad day, sickness etc

An effective learner voice provides insight into the entire programme and so potentially is much more significant
