Knowing the Cohort - Sheffield Raising the Participation AgeL4L
The document discusses strategies in Sheffield, UK to increase youth participation rates beyond compulsory education. It describes analyzing data on at-risk youth to predict non-participation trends and target support. Risk-of-NEET (not in education, employment, or training) models are used to identify vulnerable students before and after age 16. Data sharing across organizations and a managed transfer process aim to reduce dropout rates by improving guidance and post-16 options fit. Learner feedback indicates wrong option selection is a key reason for disengagement, so further analysis will explore the guidance-to-placement process.
Raising of the Participation Age - Main PresentationL4L
The document discusses raising the participation age in the UK from 16 to 18. It notes that the first phase, requiring participation until age 17, will begin in 2013 and be fully implemented by 2015 when young people must participate until age 18. Local authorities and schools will have responsibilities to promote participation and identify young people who are not participating. The Youth Contract program will provide intensive support for 16-17 year olds who are not in education, employment or training and lack GCSEs. The presentation then discusses careers guidance services and models for delivering them in light of new statutory requirements for schools.
The document discusses young people's perspectives on education and training. It outlines that staying in education or training provides more opportunities, employment choices, skills, stability, and respect. Providers need to encourage positive reinforcement, encouragement, a structured timetable, clear goals and qualifications, recognition of achievements, respectful treatment of students, and varied learning techniques. Some things that didn't work included being forced into uninteresting subjects, teachers focusing on uniforms over grades, inconsistent staffing, and not listening to student voices.
1) The study aimed to develop a grass cover map of Somuncurá Reserve in northern Patagonia, Argentina using Landsat imagery and determine which levels of grass cover guanacos select.
2) Random forest analysis of EVI and MSI bands from Landsat imagery produced a grass cover percentage map with a correlation of 0.776.
3) Analysis of guanaco census data found they significantly selected areas with 20-30% grass cover in most seasons over expected availability, selecting against areas with 10-20% grass cover in some seasons.
The document discusses supporting vulnerable young people in Sheffield who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). It notes that 71% of Sheffield NEETs are from vulnerable groups.

Raising the Participation Age - Mix and Balance of ProvisionL4L
The document discusses plans to improve post-16 education participation in Sheffield through developing progression pathways and flexible holding provision. Key points:
1. Maps will be created showing education offers across sectors and providers to develop progression pathways. Quality pathways will be ensured through partnerships.
2. A flexible funded holding program will be designed for youth not in pathways to prepare them to rejoin, using a qualifications framework. Providers will deliver with necessary support.
3. Pathways will be modeled and mapped to show course options, qualifications, providers, and progression from entry level to higher education and employment. Challenges include mapping all options and provider flexibility. Next steps outlined are identifying at-risk youth and developing a preparation program

This document discusses PBS's efforts to measure audience engagement on its website PBS.org. It defines an engagement index composed of click rate, duration, recency, and loyalty metrics. Video content is a major driver of engagement. Engaged visitors consume more video, use mobile devices more, and are more satisfied than casual visitors. Engaged users are also more likely to tune into PBS broadcasts and advocate for their local PBS station. The results so far include increases in traffic, video views, and revenue potential. PBS aims to continue growing engagement across platforms through new video content and product development.
