Communities of Practice

Welcome to the Skills for Life Improvement Programme
Communities of Practice

The Skills for Life Improvement Programme Communities of Practice is now hosted on the LSIS Excellence Gateway.  You can access it by clicking on the link Excellence Gateway Workroom

Collaborative Workrooms* have been set up on the Excellence Gateway under the title of Skills for Life Improvement Programme. Whilst other forums and workrooms exist and may be created, we would prefer individuals involved on the Skills for Life Improvement Programme to use the facility under the programme name. It will help other colleagues to participate better by not having to search in many different places on the Excellence Gateway.

How to access the Excellence Gateway forums

To use the Skills for Life Improvement Programme Collaborative Workroom, every user will need to register and create username and password. The instructions for registering are self explanatory and detailed on the Excellence Gateway Community page FAQ.

Once registered you can then join specific Workrooms (e.g. PDP, Numeracy etc.) set up under Skills for Life Improvement Programme (currently on page 2). The different workrooms are sorted alphabetically.

If you have any queries or concerns about the Communities of Practice on the Excellence Gateway please contact us by email : sflipinfo@cfbt.com or
Tel: 0118 902 1920.

*A Collaborative Workroom is a virtual workroom, where you and your group can collaborate, taking part in joint planning, file sharing and discussions in a strictly private online space. The workroom also has “tools for collaboration” such as discussion forum, shared library and task setter for effective collaboration and sharing of information.
