Abstract	This report, which is written for curriculum managers, student services managers, and learning support managers in further education (FE) colleges throughout the United Kingdom, summarizes and examines the results of a study in which eight FE colleges worked with the Further Education Development Agency to evaluate different approaches to learning support. ("Learning support" is defined as any activity beyond a college program's prescribed content that contributes to individual students' attendance, retention, learning, and achievement.) The following topics are among those discussed: summary of the study findings (strategy, culture, and organization; take-up of support; liaison; models; information, outcomes); role and context of learning support and catalysts for learning support; management of learning support (strategy, policy, key issues); models of learning support (initial needs assessment, learning centers, specialist workshops, tutorials and active guidance, partnership teaching, differentiation in teaching, specialist in-class support, ever-changing models); methods of funding learning support (centralized and college support); central systems for learning support (information systems, quality, staff development); and evaluation of learning support (methods, key issues, future developments). Twelve tables/figures are included. The bibliography contains 16 references. Appended are the following: staff questionnaire; course checklist; self-assessment checklist regarding Advanced (A-level) studies; staffing chart; and study center questionnaire. (MN)
