How can unis prepare students for a changing world? @Wonkhe #FestivalofHE Shifting focus from deep knowledge to wide, adaptable skills seems uncontroversial in higher ed. However, schools (particularly Ofsted) are still thinking “knowledge rich curriculum”-difficult mismatch
Should we have a student support excellence framework? Great start to day 2 @Wonkhe #FestivalofHE Also need to consider how access initiatives can better link to on course support- I can’t wait to dive in to my @ChurchillFship research to see how progs in NZ & USA tackle this
Great session on the Lifelong Learning Entitlement with @dkernohan & @JackieNjoroge9. How can we regulate when a good outcome is different for every learner? What can we learn from the US transfer system? Real opportunity to rethink outcomes & learner-focused ed #FestivalofHE
Youell’s Law: the expectations that we have of data double every year. Great talk on the State of the Data Nation with @AndyYouell at @Wonkhe’s Festival of Higher Ed
Can’t believe @Wonkhe Festival of Higher Education has already surpassed expectations - festival socks!!
“The audience who loves tables is feeling like their question isn’t being answered.” If your audience wants tables, think again about what they want to get from the data. You can always keep old ways of reporting + add new visuals. Great live session today with @storywithdata
There is still time to apply for a @ChurchillFship! Fantastic, fully-funded research opportunity for anyone, in any area of work in the UK who has ever noticed a challenge and thought, "I wonder how people in other countries tackle this?" Deadline 14 Nov churchillfellowship.org/become-a-fello…
Highlights from the Black British Voices survey by @Cambridge_Uni & @TheVoiceNews: -95% think UK curriculum neglects Black experiences -41% “definitely” believe discrimination is main barrier to academic attainment for young Black people Full report: cam.ac.uk/stories/black-…
Myth: area-based metrics (eg IMD) are just poor proxies for individual info Fact: individual data (eg FSM) is still a proxy & doesn't tell the whole story Disadvantage is complex - family, school & neighbourhood all play a part. A nuanced definition requires a basket of metrics
I'm looking for a data systems guru to join my team for a year 👇 You'll support #Outreach at Imperial to manage data & access insights about our programmes. It's also a unique chance to dig into CRM development, supporting our shift to a new system imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…
71% of parents of state school children in England say they would need help to support their child with a university application. Interesting results from polling with Public First & the Brilliant Club, with 1,000+ parents surveyed
Parents’ attitudes to university | We worked with @megcprice and the team at Public First to poll attitudes towards university to better understand the challenges that parents are facing across the UK.🧵thebrilliantclub.org/news/poll-resu…
"It's important that we understand the purpose behind measuring- what is it? Is it to make the system feel better about what it does? ...Or is it to actually support & improve & move that learner forward?" @tjgolding Strong parallels between schools/Ofsted & uni access/OfS
🔥 New episode of #repod 🔥 "We are indoctrinated to seek accreditation and reward and acknowledgement. Is it not just enough to BE?" Listen to Cat Place (@catrplace) and Ty Golding (@tjgolding) on the Curriculum for Wales: buff.ly/3K470IV #podcast #edutwitter
Recently read something about white working class boys & #maths, suggesting they're more likely to hide it when they don't understand concepts Know the source/seen similar? @EduDetective @ingram_nicola @JBEgglenton @DattaJon @TheCfEY @suttontrust @FFTEduDatalab @EducEndowFoundn
Enjoyed today's @Bright_Tweets webinar, including reflections on outcomes frameworks, plus insights from @UniofBath on the wave 1 APP process & APP #evaluation ideas from HEAT Takeaway: drafting an APP or theory of change requires a tricky balance of strategic + operational
Highly recommend “Nice White Parents” @serial podcast from @chanajoffewalt Story of ongoing attempts at reform & equality in NYC schools. Relevant to UK school context- great reminder of the power held, for better or worse, by middle class white parents nytimes.com/2020/07/23/pod…
Busy day already at the @NEONHE symposium, including a great discussion about what’s next for #evaluation across the higher education sector. Definitely time for a coffee, and loving that both scone options are available!
