Another, really interesting Alternative Provision Research Network meeting today, discussing (internal) #alternativeprovision and a range of research ideas. Brilliant discussions and people offering insights into a 'new?' aspect of schooling. News of the next meeting coming soon.
NEW BLOG POST: The rise of Internal #AlternativeProvision – what’s working and what’s tough By Dr Emma Simpson apresearchnetwork.com/blog-1/the-ris…
We are constantly looking for new insights, research, blogs (and perhaps Podcasts) for our ever popular and growing #Alternativeprovision research network. We will be sending out a call in September for a new round of events and insights...stay tuned. apresearchnetwork.com
I look forward to talking all things #Alternativeprovision @ UCL tomorrow - #socialjustice #youth #identities #education
Thank you to @ucl for inviting me to talk about #alternativeprovision, #socialjustice, and youth identities - next week - as part of their 'swimming against the tide' seminar series ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/r…
General election 2024: Behaviour tsar urges alternative provision increase - why is no one asking WHY more children are being excluded - inappropriate curriculum & league tables for starters … oh, let’s segregate them more 🤷♀️ tes.com/magazine/news/…
Our third annual event, unbelievably, but another great symposium on all things #Alternativeprovision. Lots of positive feedback on to 2025! @CathCathkitchen @JPennacchia @Andy_Malcolm @AP_ResearchNet
Now hearing from Professor Carl Parsons - talking about challenging the narratives around #alternativeprovision and those accessing #APs
Lively Q & A session - how can we take advantage of a potential window of change? How can we prevent children who are excluded from school being permanently excluded from society in the future? @AP_ResearchNet
People desperately want to work collectively but systems, processes an statutory duties often prevent this @AP_ResearchNet @ExcludedLives - multiagency working is so important
What are the system level factors influencing school exclusion? Policies, competitive accountability pressures, narrowing curriculum, under resourcing, lack of early intervention & multiagency working - no surprises from the data @ExcludedLives @alice_tawell @AP_ResearchNet
The system level factors influencing school exclusion from the @ExcludedLives Project.
