Key Construction Skills Provider Adopts HOW2s to Enhance Teaching Practices Through Personalised Support
CITB selects HOW2s to empower trainers with tailored support and autonomy, transforming responses following individual and departmental observations.

CITB National Construction College, recognized for delivering industry-led, first-class training in real-life environments, has announced the adoption of the HOW2 Platform. This decision underscores CITB’s commitment to providing teaching staff with enhanced support and autonomy, particularly in addressing areas identified during individual and departmental observations.
As a key player in shaping the future of the construction sector, CITB develops a training and skills system to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
CITB plans to leverage the HOW2 Platform by directly aligning ‘actions’ identified in observations with specific teaching techniques offered on the platform. Monitoring progress will be facilitated through the staff’s self-assessment and reflections on the platform, creating a dynamic feedback loop that informs subsequent observations.
Looking ahead, CITB aims to expand the application of the HOW2 Platform by facilitating peer observations among staff. This approach will support collaborative teaching and learning goals, allowing educators to self-determine objectives that align with their professional development aspirations.
The HOW2 Platform empowers educators to explore a range of classroom techniques, offering personalized teaching and learning opportunities. Its clear guidance and peer-to-peer support foster educator confidence, enabling the implementation of valuable, previously untried techniques that contribute to learner progress. We believe that providing staff with high-quality tools like the HOW2 Platform for self-directed CPD significantly enhances staff engagement and improves classroom practice, ultimately contributing to more effective learning experiences
