The following factors all contribute to a high quality, memorable fieldwork experience, with many transferable characteristics. All New Views providers have demonstrated that they have taken account of them, or will do so when designing and delivering the course. All will be included in external reviews.
Providers will ensure that activities take place at suitable places identified by appropriately qualified personnel.
Site assessments will be available to visiting schools.
The places used for activities will demonstrate
that the sites are the best ones for the learning and outcomes which are to
be achieved (see below).
Providers and their course leaders recognise the
implications of their role including their duty of care, use of current guidelines
on school visits, responsibility for planning/organisation/relevant documentation
and responsibility for making clear delegation of responsibility to accompanying
staff and to other support staff.
All other staff will be briefed to understand their
role and responsibility in support of the leader and towards themselves and
others.
The New Views Code of Practice will be
sent to schools and participants before the course, to ensure that all understand
their role and responsibility to themselves and others.
Providers will have an equal opportunities policy.
þProviders will attempt to meet the dietary needs of groups. As a minimum they will offer vegetarian and vegan options at meals.
The New Views course gives clear value
to the subject area, the wider curriculum and areas of personal and social development.
The course has clear outcomes, some of which can
be measured and evaluated.
When setting the outcomes, the following will be
demonstrated to ensure that purposeful and differentiated activities are being
offered:
- the objectives are appropriate to the needs of the pupils;
- the objectives are achievable by the learners;
- the objectives provide sufficient challenge for the learners involved
- the objectives are linked to the planned schemes of work within the school.
Schools will ensure the planned activities offer
progression rather than repetition.
The programme will ensure that all young people on
the course have equal opportunity to participate in the range of activities.
The course will achieve a balance between technical
delivery of specific objectives and excitement, awe and wonder.
A variety of teaching and learning styles will be
employed to meet the expectations of both teachers and learners.
The course will be evaluated using New Views protocols
which are then used for public reporting and may be externally assessed/evaluated.
Optimum use is made of teachers’/learners’ time
and effort.
All leaders will be suitably qualified and experienced.
The leader’s age and experience will be appropriate
for the course and the type of participants.
Teachers and learners will be given time and support
to gain relevant experience.
