This document summarizes the changes made by Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technologies to shift from a tutor-centered approach focused on unit standards to a more student-centered approach integrating literacy, numeracy and project-based learning. Key changes included embedding literacy and numeracy into project work, using scaffolding and "mini-teach" lessons, assessing students through project work, and gaining student feedback to further improve the program. The goal was to better support adult students and prepare them for future careers.
