Enhancing Staff Collaboration through Shadowing at a Large Further Education College

This report explores the shadowing process implemented over four weeks at a large FE college with over 140 teaching and support staff across multiple sites. Focused on managers, Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), and tutors, the initiative aimed to improve staff collaboration and progression opportunities. Despite barriers such as staff sickness and logistical challenges, the outcomes revealed strengthened relationships, increased input from LSAs in planning stages, and a rise in relevant Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities. The experience underscores the importance of support staff in enriching learner experiences.
