Our Teaching and Learning Strategy is at the core of our approach to our students and their learning. We aim to provide a learning community where students achieve excellence and where achievement is celebrated. We want you to enjoy your time at college and to be successful. As a student at Harlow College you can expect the following approaches to teaching and learning:

Your tutors will plan your learning so that you have the opportunity to achieve at your maximum potential

They will ensure that you have plenty of opportunities to apply and consolidate your learning and will encourage and support you

You will have an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) where you will be set agreed daily and weekly targets. Your tutors will make it clear to you what your focus for each individual day should be and will work with you until you achieve your daily targets

Your targets and your achievement will be monitored on a daily and weekly basis to ensure that your learning is successful and so that you are clear as to how well you are progressing

You will need to monitor your own progress too. We want you to become self-critical and to think about how you can improve

As a business student you can expect experienced staff to guide you through your learning experience. Also resources will be made accessible on Qube for home working.

Tutorials, workshops, Individual Learning
Plans, regular feedback to parents, Additional Learning Support in the classroom or on a 1 to 1 basis Learner

Learners will be taught in a classroom and workshop environment along with on the job training and assessed via theoretical, practical and work-based assessments.

Independent Hours of Study Outside Lessons:

This varies but on average every apprentice will have to undertake the same amount of hours outside the formal environment as within the structured teaching and learning format.
e.g. 7 hours in college = 7 hours independent learning
