Guroo: Functional Skills Resources

The guroo service helps you teach Functional Skills.

At its heart is a large bank of functional skills resources that are specifically designed to engage today’s 14-19 learners. They’re set in real-world contexts, include the types of media your students relate to, and help develop functionality in Maths, English and ICT.

But guroo is more than a set of online functional skills resources.

• We provide printed versions of the core materials.
• Tutors can set tasks and monitor learner usage and performance.
• We supply functional skills lesson plans and curriculum mappings.

And perhaps most importantly of all; every guroo subscription comes with our Active Engagement Program, a set of activities that ensure you can really embed, integrate and effectively teach functional skills.

• Our education consultants work on-site with your staff to demonstrate and explore how the functional skills resources in guroo can be most effectively used with your learners.
• We create personalised logins for every functional skills student and tutor you want to have access to the service - using your existing logins if you choose.

… in short, it’s a comprehensive service that will make a significant impact on your ability to effectively teach functional skills and achieve your functional-skills related objectives - whether they are driven by diplomas, modern apprenticeships, GCSEs, foundation learning or any other aspect of the new 14-19 curriculum.
