International Education in Communities
Annex C: Measuring the impact of international education
There have been some important recent developments which assist providers of and participants in community learning and development to clarify their learning objectives and to measure success.
Journeys Outward...Journeys Inward, a personal record of achievement for commonwealth youth exchange, Commonwealth Youth Exchange, Youth Council 2000 sets out to encourage young people to record their development in at least eight specific personal and social skills and qualities. These include the Core Skills (Key Skills in England) that have a common currency within the worlds of school, college, training or employment.
The PRA is not a credits and qualifications ladder, but rather a climbing frame of personal development opportunities. We hope young people will find it a stimulating, challenging and fun aid to their learning.
The pack is split into two discrete volumes: a youth worker's kit and a young person's kit. Both are available from CYEC: ISBN 0-9537786-0-6
In addition, HM Inspectorate of Education publish a quality assurance framework for community learning partnerships called How Good Is Our Community Learning And Development. This framework can be applied to the theme of international education. Of particular interest would be the key areas of:
- Personal development (as applied to adults and young people)
- Building community capacity
Particular quality indicators or themes could be used from Ethos and values, and Management, planning and quality assurance, particularly if applied across a range of international education activities.
