What if… we really wanted to support schools facing the greatest challenge?

2018-02-15T12:08:13.000Z

	What if… we really wanted to support schools facing the greatest challenge? IOE Public Debates Some schools have made a name for themselves in performing ‘against the odds’, their pupils chalking up impressive achievements in national tests and exams. But still there remains a link between schools’ circumstances and their performance, and some glaring geographical disparities. Breaking that link has been a focal point for education policy and many high profile organisations in education over the past two decades. There are occasional signs of progress, but they have often been modest and faltering. How far can we get with school-based interventions, and are there any such interventions, existing or hypothetical, that we should pursue with greater vigour? Come and debate sector leaders’ views on which policies and interventions we should prioritise in order to cut through this problem once and for all, and what wider reforms would best help more schools in challenging circumstances. Join us in the debate with a host of fantastic speakers including: - Sir David Carter, National Schools Commissioner, Department for Education - Vic Goddard, Headteacher of Passmores Academy, Harlow - Lucy Heller, Chief Executive, Ark - Sam Freedman, Executive Director of Participant Impact and Delivery, Teach First - Chair: Becky Francis, Director, UCL Institute of Education IOE Public Debates will be streamed live via UCL Live. The video recording and a podcast will be available online from IOE Public Debates following the series. Join the conversation on Twitter at #IOEDebates. Introducing 'What If?' \| UCL Institute of Education Director of the UCL Institute of Education, Professor Becky Francis, announces the launch of a new public engagement series of events. Through this series we’ll be bringing together a range of commentators – academics, politicians, practitioners, policy wonks – and pushing them to bring some radical new thinking to some of the apparently intractable issues within education, not least the English education system. This can help all of us reflect on the status quo, celebrate progress but also consider how we might change things for the better to achieve commonly held goals for our education system and what it can do for us all.

UCL - Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) Symposium

2018-02-12T17:54:30.000Z

	UCL - Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) Symposium The first UCL - Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) Symposium is being held at UCL on Monday 12 February 2018. The one-day event entitled, “Towards HIV and TB elimination in South Africa”, will bring together researchers from UCL and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) with those from the African Health Research Institute (AHRI) in South Africa. It will provide a great opportunity to find out more about the research undertaken at AHRI, and to explore the collaborative potential between these organisations. The event aims to bridge cross-disciplinary boundaries and promote interaction between researchers while fostering greater collaboration between UCL, AHRI, LSHTM, and beyond. The symposium will focus on three primary fields of research relevant to AHRI’s activities: HIV, TB, and the methodology of cross-disciplinary team-based research. The event will cover a range of disciplines including population-based methodologies, laboratory science, epidemiology, the social sciences, and research ethics. Speakers from all three institutions will present their innovative research and answer your questions. Attendees will also enjoy welcome speeches from Professor Michael Arthur, UCL President and Provost, Professor David Lomas, UCL Vice-Provost (Health) and Dr Jim Smith, Director of Science at Wellcome.

McMafia: The Reality

2018-02-07T21:08:22.000Z

	McMafia: The Reality The BBC's McMafia is an international thriller with Russian organised crime at its heart and London as its hub. But how realistic is the portrayal of Russian-managed drug and human trafficking rings all run from offices in the City? The Russian Embassy has hit out at what it calls the show's cliches, while the author Misha Glenny has defended his portrayal of global crime rings run from the former Soviet space. This SSEES roundtable brings together experts on the place of Russia in both the perpetration and the prosecution of transnational crime to navigate these murky waters. We will look at the long history of stereotypes of the Russian international criminal, and the present-day efforts to suppress organised crime in the region. Only SSEES can bring you this concentration of Russia-watchers, so join us on February 7 with all your McMafia questions! The panel will be: Dr Mark Galeotti, Senior Research Fellow, the Institute of International Relations, Prague Dr Philippa Hetherington, Lecturer in Modern Eurasian History, UCL SSEES Dr Alexander Kupatadze, Lecturer, King`s Russia Institute & Department of European and International Studies Professor Alena Ledeneva, Professor of Politics and Society, UCL SSEES Chaired by: Dr Ben Noble, Lecturer in Russian Politics, UCL SSEES With further speakers to be announced. This seminar is organised jointly by the the UCL SSEES Russian Studies Seminar Series and Post-Soviet Press Group. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/research/research-centres/russian-studies-seminar-series https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/research/research-centres/post-soviet-press-group	From: UCL Views: 2264 24 ratings

What if… we really wanted evidence-informed practice in the classroom?

2018-02-01T13:59:00.000Z

	What if… we really wanted evidence-informed practice in the classroom? IOE Public Debates There’s been a big push to get classroom practice shaped by evidence of ‘what works’. This has been largely inspired by advances in healthcare, where the use of research trials and national guidelines to improve patient care and outcomes is more established. But this approach has not gone uncontested in education (or health) and ‘evidence-informed practice’ is still to be firmly embedded across all schools. Why is this, and do we even have a shared understanding of what we’re aiming for when it comes to teachers’ engagement with and use of research? This event will hear from leading commentators about whether, in their view, this is the correct agenda for education and, if so, what evidence-informed practice should look like and the steps needed to realise that vision across all schools. Join the debate about the implications for practice, teacher professionalism and education research itself. Join us in the debate with a host of fantastic speakers including: * Daniel Muijs, incoming Head of Research, Ofsted * Sir Kevan Collins, Chief Executive, Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) * Ann Mroz, Editor, Tes * Gert Biesta, Professor of Education and Director of Research, Brunel University London * Chair: Becky Francis, Director, UCL Institute of Education Twitter: #IOEDebates Introducing 'What If?' \| UCL Institute of Education Director of the UCL Institute of Education, Professor Becky Francis, announces the launch of a new public engagement series of events.
