Implementation behaviours webinar: reflect One of the key messages from the EEF’s recently updated implementation guidance report is that “implementation is fundamentally a collaborative and social process driven by how people think, behave, and interact.” We should: Reflect on pupil needs and current practices Reflect on fit and feasibility Reflect on implementation Reflect on implementation barriers and enablers I'll be sharing the evidence and exploring practical approaches in the final webinar in our implementation series on Tuesday 15 October. https://lnkd.in/eYtR-4a8

What a wealth of useful information about the implications of trust in associations from Joanna Pineda, Melanie Gottlieb, CAE, and Tara Puckey, MBA, CAE, CMP from a UST Education webinar! This issue of trust can be an opportunity for associations and their corporate sponsorships/partnerships. One big take-away from Joanna’s notes from the webinar: “Many association execs expressed the belief that declining trust is affecting their industry, including execs from higher education, medicine, public health, foreign affairs, media, real estate, government, technology, science, veterinary medicine, and libraries.” For association execs who are concerned about trust in their association, industry, or profession, I suggest huddling with some of your top-tier corporate sponsors/partners. Consider lack of trust as an overarching concern for the association and its members, as well as the corporate sponsors/partners who work with the association and sell to its members. Associations and their corporate sponsors/partners can collaborate on a trust-enhancing plan – messaging, media strategy, tools and tactics for members, etc. Then, the associations and their sponsors/partners can work together to disseminate information and educate various audiences. This can be a “win” for the association and its members, as well as corporate sponsors/partners. #nonduesrevenue #nonprofitfundraising  #sponsorships #corporatepartnerships #associationmanagement #corporatesponsorship #corporatepartners #associations #fundraising #trust

Loading...... 📢📢📢 New book release in May 2024!! The story behind the chapter I have co-authored birthed my desire to research more on epistemic justice issues in technology research communities in a collaborative setting. Two experiences within two research settings opened my eyes to see how cultures of subjugation are perpetuated daily in research groups claiming diversity. 🤔 Have you ever been added to a group that you are discussed as if you do not exist and/or do not know yourself? 🤔 Has someone ever questioned your validity, the possibility and the efficacy of the knowledge you hold? 🤔 Have you sometimes been made to feel inferior even when presenting information about lived experiences that may not seem a reality to certain groups? 🤔 Have you been tasked to deal with discomfort of yourself and others in collaborative setting? 🤔 Have you ever known that many people judge knowledge and its validity through the lenses of their embedded assumptions, biases and long-standing privilege/non-privilege? 🤔 Have you ever known that many research projects are a reproduction of power and injustices because the leaders and funders are unable to address epistemic tensions and conflicts within diverse research groups? Look out for our chapter titled: Knowledge co-production or epistemic injustice? Attending to questions of power in transdisciplinary technology communities of practice, in this upcoming book volume on Communities of Practice in higher education. Our article empasize on long-term epistemic humility to technology co-production and tech policy communities. The volume will be released and launched in May 2024. Working with great editors, in the most inclusive, accomodating and reflexive environment ...Thanks to Dr Camila and Susanne Clarke.

Thanks Marius Foley, PhD and #rmitmdf for the invitation to pause, take stock, and consider what I'm attending to as part of #design_mayday.   So, what am I paying attention to, right now?   Relationships. Relationality. Power…   To me, this is the work of systems change and design, yet building and sustaining rich, reciprocal and robust relationships, is easier said than done, and often, not something we explore deeply through design education.   I'm reminded of FSG's report on The Water of Systems Change and their model on the Six Conditions of Systems Change. The model highlights that most of our effort and attention goes to structural change, that is, a focus on policies, practices, and resources. However, it also highlights that to embed and sustain change, relationships, power, and mental models are just as, if not more, important.   This divide between structural and relational / transformational change is evident in efforts to move towards trauma-informed practice in organisations and systems more broadly. Policy and practices are rarely the stumbling blocks. More often than not it comes down to how we relate, how we share power (or don't), and how willing we are to adjust our worldviews.   So, as I reflect, I'm sitting with a few questions:   How do we want to feel in relationship?   How don't we want to feel in relationship?   What might it look like to relate with care and mutuality? How might this enable change?   What needs to be happen at the individual, organisational, and system level before this is possible?
