Elevating CPD for Excellence: TeachingHOW2s Partnership at West London College

West London College and TeachingHOW2s have joined forces to enhance professional development for 185 educators across the college’s three locations. This strategic collaboration underscores the institution’s dedication to delivering high-quality education through innovative professional development and teaching practices.

West London College’s decision to integrate TeachingHOW2s into its existing in-house ​‘360 CPD cycle’ highlights the college’s dedication to the development of its educators and aims to bolster the delivery of research-informed teaching practices, to overcome cognitive development challenges in the classroom.

The partnership also represents the college’s most recent step in delivering top-notch CPD resources, providing invaluable support to educators striving for excellence and improving the learner experience.

West London College aims to leverage the HOW2 platform to create a vibrant community spirit, fostering shared learning conversations and ultimately placing the learner experience at the forefront of its educational mission.

A key factor in selecting TeachingHOW2s was its capacity to facilitate CPD accessibility for staff across all sites, effectively bridging gaps and making professional development available to all staff and subcontractors

The platform’s easy access to engagement data further aligns with West London College’s commitment to transparency and continuous improvement in the teaching and learning process.

West London College’s investment in CPD reflects its high aspirations for learners, and the TeachingHOW2s partnership reaffirms its dedication to fostering a dynamic and supportive educational environment.

Delivering systematic, evidence-based, pedagogical on-demand expertise for unlimited numbers of faculty — the TeachingHOW2s platform offers 100% scalable support, building teaching and learning capacity across entire teaching institutions — or networks of institutions — without the costs and inconvenience typically associated with in-person workshops and conferences.

The guides’ precise, step-by-step, easy-to-navigate nature makes learning and adapting the techniques quick and easy whether it’s for the classroom, lab, or workspace, accelerating the application of high-impact practices that have been shown to build student learning and close equity gaps.
