This presentation will give a summary of current FE courses and qualifications and how these are changing. It will discuss FE college links to employers and the on-going importance of English and maths as key skills, coupled with the on-going challenge of recruiting well qualified teachers. Speaker 2 Professor Moira Hulme, Professor of Education, International Centre for Educational Enhancement (ICEE)Title: ‘Geographies of exclusion’The goal of equity in education in England is damaged by regional disparities in outcomes and a marked social gradient in school exclusion. The most vulnerable young people are disproportionately represented in in-year transfers between settings. This presentation explores strategies to reduce high rates of pupil mobility in a socioeconomically deprived Northern town. The analysis highlights the interaction of administrative, professional and market logics, and the significance of the ‘middle tier’ in mediating inter-local tensions. Further research is needed on ‘hidden’ pupil moves and diverse forms of within-school segregation-reintegration.Speaker 3 Kevin Holland- Director of Networks- International Centre for Educational Enhancement (ICEE)Title ‘Unleashing Greatness’ – Appreciative processes and language.Many of the challenges faced by the educational system are out of individual schools and school leaders’ hands to change. Within the culture and ethos of a school there is always an opportunity to reflect, revisit and make change. The weight of accountability is an unwanted pressure. Finding structures, processes, and strategies to relieve some of them, and to focus on a purposeful, clear, and morally driven whole school improvement journey is truly empowering. The International Centre for Educational Enhancement at the UoB has its focus here, across an international network of 130 schools. This presentation will discuss the processes, language, and philosophy behind this inside out model of school improvement – ‘Unleashing Greatness’.Please get in touch with Dr Sarah Telfer- Associate Professor in Education at the University of Bolton, for further details:Tel: 01204 903304 Email: s.telfer@bolton.ac.ukPlease follow @BoltonEducation on Twitter &amp; @Sarah Telfer5
