Participating in these focus groups was a real priviledge for the project team. It was a wonderful opportunity to actively listen to ACE providers describe their organisations, their learners, their communities and their practice. It was obvious that everyone around the table was equally interested and engaged. Many were taking copious notes and were actively asking questions both during the sessions and privately during the breaks. Several focus group participants commented that ‘days like today are the most valuable professional development opportunities’. The sense of openness, sharing and honesty was evident throughout the State. We were left with a renewed sense of respect and admiration for the wonderful program delivery that is ACE in Victoria. It is responsive to community needs, and always, but always, has the learner clearly at its very centre. We have much to learn from each other, and we have much to offer other parts of our education sector. TAFE frontiers and Southern Westernport Learning Communities would like to thank the following Victorian ACE organisations who gave of their time to participate in the focus groups and/or provided valuable input for the practical guide and the report and who continue to provide an incredible service for their communities. |
