2. learner voice | objectives • To make staff aware of: • The key role of Learner Voice Feedback in monitoring the quality of teaching and learning delivery • The role of Learner Voice within the new Ofsted Common Inspection Framework. • The need to support and promote Learner Voice Feedback activities

3. learner voice | objectives Why we need to do it Why we do it

4. learner voice | why we need to do it • Learner voice is an important part of the new Ofsted • Common inspection framework. • Our learners viewpoint MUST match our own quality reviews and inform our policy making decisions.

5. learner voice | why we do it • Learners are not trained observers but each is a valuable data point. • Learners are the only people • present at all teaching whether • delivered on or off site and thus • can provide more complete • feedback. • We need to listen to our learners in order to improve services and the simple act of listening will improve their experience

6. learner voice | benefits • We can get instant feedback from the group of people who are most important • We demonstrate our priorities to Ofsted • It provides an evidence base for the SAR • We have an opportunity to compare our view of our services with that of those that use them

7. learner voice | issues • We need to remember that any collection of evidence takes time and places more pressure on staff, we need to collect feedback intelligently to reduce workload. • It is important to remember that this is not an opportunity to collect negative comments on staff. It is a chance to collect additional data enabling us to compare and improve both our provision and service

8. learner voice | importance A teaching observation is a 20 minutes snapshot of delivery on an entire programme and can be affected by nerves, a bad day, sickness etc An effective learner voice provides insight into the entire programme and so potentially is much more significant
