CHAPTER THIRTEEN: RECOMMENDATIONS ARISING FROM THE RESEARCH
13.1 The following recommendations arise from the findings from both the learner and tutor surveys. They are based on the key areas of teaching and learning that require improvement because they do not meet the highest benchmarks for teaching and learning specified in Literacies in the Community: Resources for Practitioners and Managers (2000). These recommendations should be addressed by the various bodies responsible for ALN - Scottish Executive, Learning Connections and the ALN Partnerships - working together to bring about change.
- More and better publicity that will change the image of ALN and make it more positive would encourage more learners to participate. This publicity should build on the success of the 'Big Plus campaign.
- More resources, which would enable programmes to be more flexible in terms of their timing, location and content.
- Better guidance and support for learners: Tutors need to have more training on the importance of the ILP and to use it consistently with learners.
- Better exit guidance and more opportunities for moving learners on to other provision: Tutors need more training in providing guidance and ALN Partnerships need to provide a greater range of opportunities.
- Greater access to good quality and appropriate staff development and support for part-time staff and volunteer tutors.
