Personalised Learning
ROCKET delivers learning that is customised by each individual with a learning disability to realise key aims identified in their own person centred plan. ROCKET ensures the fullest possible engagement of each learner by:
nurturing learner entitlement, understanding and autonomy
pacing progression individually
promoting learning activities that are fun and social, as well as effective
Inventive Modern Services
ROC is developing modernised services based on these new learning opportunities, in collaboration with the Learning and Skills Council, ASDAN and many others.
ROCKET fulfils key aims of “Valuing People Now”, the latest government paper (www.dh.gov.uk), which identifies a key role for both the Foundation Learning Tier and “Getting a Life” Project.
Guided Progression Pathways
ROCKET builds on our long track record of success in the provision of customised development pathways implemented in real situations.
ROCKET sessions are delivered as purposeful home, community and work based learning activities. These offer plentiful opportunities for learning, building self-esteem, and recognising progression and achievement.
Meaningful Destinations
ROCKET ensures that learning outcomes contribute towards achieving each person’s own person centred plan, particularly where the outcomes mark a progression towards supported employment or independent living.
Structured Accredited Learning
ROCKET adds an externally moderated accreditation to the life-brokerage work for which ROC is already renowned. The Foundation Learning Tier enables people to accumulate nationally recognised credits as a transferable portfolio covering:
personal and social development
numeracy, literacy and ICT skills
vocational and subject skills
Professional Learning Guides
ROC’s dedicated, enthusiastic and qualified staff team, support each learner’s success by:
guiding and coaching – rather than teaching or instructing
ensuring effective assessment, review and monitoring
closely liaising and collaborating with other professionals & carers
