 My name is Phil Jones. I was one of the individuals invited by Welsh Government to join a group to develop new standards for education and work-based learning in Wales. The collaboration between these sectors was quite pleasing to see really. We had similar aims and objectives in developing these standards. We initially started looking at the new standards that had been written for schools in Wales. FE is distinct from schools and there are areas around dual professionalism which meant that we felt the standards used for schools were slightly different in nature to the ones that we needed to produce for FE. These standards have been written by practitioners for practitioners. The standards are not a set of competencies to be met. They set out a clear expectation of effective practice for teaching and learning. We intentionally kept them very concise and the number of standards we also kept to minimum and the reason for that is that lectures would be able to remember them and reflect on them in their daily work. I'm very proud of the standards that we've produced for Wales and I would urge my colleagues to reflect on their practice and again look at the areas where they can develop skills to improve their teaching and learning and therefore outcomes for their learners.
