  2. Sheffield Community Learning Trust Pilot • 15 pilots across the country • Funded by Community Learning allocation from Skills Funding Agency • Runs for the academic year 2012/13 • Will be supported by Niace and evaluated by an external company • Aims to increase the numbers of learners through a ‘universal offer’ • Further develop the localism agenda: the squid model

  3. Transformational changes • Develop a strategic approach with funded and non funded partners • Further develop our ‘universal offer’ • Build capacity of our community based partners to ensure a local approach and improve quality • Build curriculum pathways that lead from engagement to more formal learning

  4. Themes • Each pilot trust as asked to identify two themes. Sheffield’s are: • Using on line technology to increase engagement and learning • Linking to the Building Successful Families project which is SCC’s response to the government’s ‘troubled families’ initiative

  5. On line technology • Join the Dots project: working together with Sheffield College • Train learning champions to be ‘Dots’ mentors • Video conferencing facilities: pilot the use of this to engage more learners • Also use this to raise quality by recording good teaching sessions to use for training

  6. On line technology • Supported by UK online, developing e-reading rooms

  7. Building Successful families • Offer a ‘prescription for learning’ to those families identified as part of the project • Link learning champions to families within each assembly area to facilitate engagement

  8. Evaluation • Proving the ‘value’ of Community Learning towards the next government spending review • Apply Social Return on Investment ‘SROI’ measures to Community Learning • ‘Pound plus’ and value for money measures • Wider outcomes for learners: Case studies showing how learners move from engagement through learning to employment/volunteering

  9. SROI • Calculated by establishing the cost of delivery or ‘initial investment’ • Adding a monetary value to aspects which result from an adult engaging in learning • These aspects are: -health -employment -social relationships -volunteering
