"By 2010, the government wants to offer fourteen specialised vocational Diplomas alongside existing A-levels.
This falls far short of the recommendations of former chief schools inspector Sir Mike Tomlinson, who suggested replacing GCSEs and A-levels with a four-part diploma encompassing academic subjects, vocational training and key skills like literacy and numeracy.
So, will vocational courses continue to be regarded as the poor relation to A-levels?
Peter Curran discusses the issue with Ken Spours from the Institute of Education, who was a member of the Tomlinson committee, and Louise Potter, Policy Advisor for the Chambers of Commerce.
We also visit John Moores University in Liverpool, which trains teachers specifically to teach vocational courses.
And, Fiona Flynn from the Times Educational Supplement visits a sixth form college in South London which firmly believes in encouraging its students along a vocational path."

"John Carey, senior adviser with Durham LEA and a specialist in professional development, takes a critical look at CPD at Christ Church Primary and offers a few tips.
He stresses the advantages of school-based CPD and speaks to Deputy Head Colette Morris, about the school's policy of encouraging staff to share ideas and collaborate with one another.
The staff appreciate this and think training is essential if they are to progress and develop their skills.
John sits in on a peer observation session. All agree that more preparation time was needed to decide on the specific observation objective, and for both the watcher and the watched to look for CPD benefits.
John also demonstrates that children's views can be a rich source of CPD.
Overall he is positive about the school's learning culture but feels it is crucial that good ideas like peer observation are carefully structured for staff to get the best out of them."

"Penny Smith teaches Year 2 'Apple Class' at White Oak School in Swanley, Kent. She doesn't have a lot of experience teaching music, but in this programme Penny and her teaching assistant Marion Dowell work on a composition task with the class and show how any primary teacher, regardless of their musical ability, can do the same.
First of all, Penny and Marion do some planning work with Gwynneth Johnson, the School's Music co-ordinator, and composer Stephen Chadwick, but the approach demonstrated here can of course be used without this level of support. In their literacy class the day before, the children have drawn pictures of some story endings: a robot falls down stairs; a car crashes into a wall. Stephen and Penny looked through these pictures to find those most suited to the musical task they've selected where pairs of children work to create a simple sound pattern which continues and then suddenly stops."

As a non-fiction genre, travel writing offers an excellent way in to understanding how texts work in the real world, and particularly, the ways in which they can fulfil more than one purpose. In this programme, English teacher Ava Houris, from Parliament Hill School for Girls in North London, teaches travel writing in preparation for the reading and writing requirements of the GCSE English exam. In conversation with consultant, Barbara Bleiman, of the English and Media Centre, Ava explores ways of going beyond the most basic features of text types, audiences and purposes, and uses a range of practical classroom strategies - such as graphic methods of planning, modeling writing and analysing real texts - to help students be more creative and lively in their non-fiction writing.
