Attention School Leaders and Educators: Transform Your Most Challenging Conversations Into Opportunities for Growth

In my segment with CNA on the PSLE marking process, I shared in detail how we look out for our students' conceptual understanding in awarding them marks for the PSLE papers. There is no over emphasis on the use of keywords in the marking scheme or as a practice by teachers. Though the video has been positively well received by most, there are still some in our community who are skeptical of the marking process insisting that we only look out for keywords and that our students will be heavily penalised for the lack of its use. I am clear that as a whole, our education system wants to honour our students and assess based on the understanding that has been conveyed, especially in high stakes exams such as the PSLE. I am convinced that over time, as the assessment literacy of our fraternity becomes more savvy, we will be able to shape our future generations to view learning not as knowledge and keywords to regurgitate but as ideas and concepts to build on for the betterment of themselves as wholesome contributors to society. https://lnkd.in/g5p8WBCm.

After meeting so many lovely prospective students at our open day recently, I have been thinking a lot about admissions requirements. It's a difficult area; if you look at the attached image of the RCVS theoretical base for day one competences, you can see how hard it is to really assess whether a prospective student is a good fit for both the course and the career. We can only evaluate potential after all. The questions I've been ruminating on is: What are the obligations of vet schools towards prospective students? How can our selection process evaluate capacity for reflective relationships, emotional intelligence, or sustainable engagement? I know vet schools around the world are asking the same questions and trying to develop systems that are robust, fair, and inclusive. There probably isn't a perfect system, but what could we maybe do differently?

Through our dual enrollment program, students at R-MA can earn college credits while still in high school. This not only saves time and money but also prepares students for the academic rigors of college. 🎓 To discover how dual enrollment sets our students up for success both academically and personally, click here: https://hubs.li/Q02SMyj10

Students who meet the following conditions can begin their studies at a new DLI while their study permit extension is being processed: 1️⃣ The student has been accepted into a DLI for the Winter or Spring 2025 semester. 2️⃣ The student has applied for a study permit extension. 3️⃣ The current study permit is still valid and does not include the DLI name printed on it. 4️⃣ The student continues to meet all conditions of their existing study permit. This change allows students to transfer institutions and begin their programs without delays, ensuring continuity in their education while their application for a permit extension is under review.

Here's a clip from our BSL workshop with Claire Cunliffe who explained the importance of the new GCSE for BSL in Secondary Education.

As we look back on the success of the BASE programme, it’s clear that our work with the Department for Education (DfE) has made a tangible difference. With over 20,000 students impacted and 590 teachers engaged, we have helped FE practitioners across the North East, Yorkshire, and Humberside improve outcomes in Maths and English for students aged 16-19 who hadn’t yet achieved Level 2 in these core subjects. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting how the programme has supported both teachers and learners to build confidence and academic self-efficacy. What do you see as the key to improving outcomes for students in FE? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments 👇 #FE #Education #StudentOutcomes #LearningImpact #BuildingSelfEfficacy #EducationTech
