Illinois Pathways is empowering learners to explore their academic and career interests through local P-20 STEM Programs of Study. These are organized around a career cluster and feature a series of orientation and advanced pathway courses, including early college, across education institutions that are accompanied by opportunities for students to enrich their learning through work-based learning experiences as well as demonstrate their understanding through assessments and industry credentialing opportunities.
Originally developed and implemented as part of Career and Technical Education (CTE), P-20 STEM Programs of Study serve as a model for bridging programs across P-20 education institutions and are demonstrated to improve academic achievement, increase graduation rates, and improve transitions to postsecondary education and employment. Also, P-20 STEM Programs of Study are designed to improve access and success for underrepresented populations in STEM fields, such as women, minorities, low-income, and disabled students.
Aligned to the National Career Cluster Framework, P-20 STEM Programs of Study enable the State's education institutions to align their curriculum, assessments and career counseling with the State's growing economic development sectors thereby ensuring successful transitions to employment and a stronger economy for Illinois. The nine STEM cluster areas identified in Illinois' Race to the Top application include: 1) Health Science; 2) Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources; 3) Information Technology; 4) Finance; 5) Architecture & Construction; 6) Transportation, Distribution & Logistics; 7) Manufacturing; 8) Research & Development; and 9) Energy.

Universities and economic development organizations (EDO’s) are frequently working toward common goals—to foster and support regional innovation and economic prosperity. Challenges persist, however, at the university/EDO interface, and it is sometimes difficult to get beyond the challenges to achieve the common goals. The panel will present both the promise and potential pitfalls of EDO and university partnerships, and also paint a vision for the future of these collaborations so vital to economic development.

Maintaining The Momentum: Transition Pedagogy to sustain Widening Participati...Sally Kift
Seminar presented at NCSEHE 9 May 2018
Maintaining the Momentum:Transition Pedagogy to sustain Widening Participation and Student Success.
In 2018, we know a lot about what works for student learning, success, and retention. And, thanks to widening participation’s years of patient outreach work, which has delivered thousands more under-represented students to our virtual and physical classrooms, our higher education (HE) focus on assuring diverse cohorts’ learning success has also sharpened significantly. However, just as we should be celebrating the zenith of equity group participation in Australian HE, the government’s re-imposition of caps on student places and the enormous pressure on university budgets to do more with less, while pursuing ever more aggressive research agendas, have now seen the first cracks appearing in what had been, for the most part, unwavering commitment to the sector’s social justice and equity agenda.
As Australian HE is challenged to respond to the new normal of finite resourcing, increased competition, endemic disruption, and high turnover of equity, support, and teaching-focussed staff, it will be suggested that Transition Pedagogy, harnessed strategically and holistically across an institution, provides a longer-term and sustainable response to maintaining our transformative HE aspirations. Transition pedagogy (TP) is “a guiding philosophy for intentional first year curriculum design and support that carefully scaffolds the first year learning experience for contemporary heterogeneous cohorts” (Kift, 2009, p. 2). Since its inception over a decade ago, it has been well received, adopted and adapted, both nationally and internationally, across many disciplines, institutions and aspects of the student lifecycle (Kift, 2015). Particularly for the widening participation context, TP focuses on what students have in common—their learning experiences mediated through curriculum—rather than problematising their diversity and difference.
This seminar will discuss TP, and its framing around six First Year Curriculum Principles, and will then facilitate consideration of examples and strategies to promote inclusion and retention of non-traditional students. Attendees will be taken through the distinctive and enabling features of TP’s integrative framework in the equity context, which are suggested to be threefold: first, an intentional and inclusive curriculum focus to mediate the coherence and quality of the student experience equitably over the student lifecycle; secondly, a whole-of-institution and whole-of-student emphasis that delivers coordinated and integrated engagement and just-in-time, just-for-me support; and, thirdly, the enabling capacity of academic and professional staff working together in cross-institutional partnerships to assure the seamlessness of student success as everybody’s business. The seminar will conclude with time for questions and discussion.

Discussion on economic aspects of education has acquired great significance in education research during the new millennium earmarked as Knowledge Economy. Education for the Knowledge Economy (EKE) refers to efforts at production of the highly skilled and flexible human capital needed to compete effectively in today’s dynamic global markets. Experiences of last one decade in the IT enabled BPO sector has proved India’s ability to produce and use knowledge as a major factor in economic development and has proved to be critical to India’s comparative advantage. Economists have recognized importance of EKE to develop a workforce that is well-trained and capable of generating knowledge-driven economic growth.
Economics of Education analyzes both what determines or creates education and what impact education has on individuals and the societies and economies in which they live. Historically a great deal of emphasis has been placed on determining outcomes to educational investment and the creation of human capital. The primary mission of the economics of education group is to identify opportunities for improved efficiency, equity, and quality of education and promote effective education reform processes, to enhance knowledge of what drives education outcomes and results; to better understanding how to strengthen the links of education systems with the labour market; and to build and support a network of education economists for education policy planning and evolve structures and mechanisms for implementation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

– a ‘line of sight into work or
further study’ – & provide
intense support to develop
pathways based on individual
skills, capabilities & knowledge.
Proposal 2
Design a Learner Profile as a
common way to represent
‘full range of attainments’
during transition yrs (eg, like
Hong Kong & Harvard)
Proposal 3
That tertiary ed providers
(including unis & VET) ‘adopt
broader, more transparent entry
criteria’, including moving away
from the ATAR.

“Fairness and prosperity go hand in hand”
“Rising inequality has been shown to have powerfully negative impacts on the wider
economy, including on productivity and economic growth and on many indicators of
individual and social wellbeing.”
A “new economic narrative” needed: 4 paramount objectives for economic policymaking to
meet “the needs of both people & planet” rather than “overwhelming priority to growth…”
1. Environmental sustainability: rapid reduction in greenhouse gases & environmental degradation
2. Rising wellbeing individuals & society
3. Falling inequality: reduce gap b/w richest & poorest; reduce poverty rates; “relative improvement
in the wellbeing, incomes & opportunities of those experiencing systematic disadvantage,
including women, members of ethnic minorities, disabled people, and those in disadvantaged

15. From 2018: cap on funded places “…already has
led to an overall decline in regional student
numbers and a dramatic reduction of growth for
other equity groups”
2018 Caps had immediate impact on student growth & equity:
• Indigenous growth55% (frm avg growth rate over past 9yrs)
• LSES growth 83% (frm past 9 yr ago)
• 2000 fewer regional students enrolled in first ½ 2018 than in first ½ 2017.

disadvantaged-students-are-now-at-risk/news-story/be7cece40a0c437bbee6efad7d73bb18
16. https://srheblog.com/2019/04/12/supporting-disadvantaged-students-is-more-expensive-than-you-think/
…the kind of additional support needed by students from LSES backgrounds
includes: outreach support to raise aspiration and relevant individual capital prior
to enrolment; academic, personal and financial support while at university; and
in some cases, support to care for students with highly complex needs.
In simple terms, we found that
universities that are strongly prioritising
or enacting missions to address
disadvantage have higher costs than
universities with other missions.
…the costs of supporting low SES
students are four [PG] to six [UG] times
higher than those of supporting medium
and high SES students…

“new path for HE reform, focusing on ways
to boost econ growth by matching students’
learning to the needs of the job market.
…commissioned by Educ Minister Dan
Tehan from EY, [it] says HE needs to be
agile, focused, innovative, informed and
efficient… a more productive HE system
could add $3.1bn a year to GDP by 2030.”

24. For next-gen HE excellence…
What can we learn?
• There’s no shortage of reports or advice!
• There is a need for data intelligence #DataWrangling
• Lots of inputs to consider, which should be
interpreted & evaluated with advanced digital &
information literacy skills (as for our students).
• Need for constant sector scanning: to be
[judiciously] alert but not [overly] alarmed.
• Action needs strong research- & evidence-base
Hmmm….

26. Participants suggested that the power of the PEN is derived from:
• Connection that is more than knowing each other
• Collective advocacy for learning and teaching
• Collaboration that is more than sharing content
• Capacity building within and beyond PENs
The Power of the PEN…
• Common purpose, different processes, similar benefits
• Processes is as valuable as any outcomes
• Practice as knowledge in action
• PENs as a dissemination strategy
"It was a very good idea to get people working together…I think some key learnings came
out of the work. Particularly, strategising our future connections and sustainability was
excellent and has provided the foundation for future conversations."

Micro-credentials present as the new wave of contemporary education policy – that’s the up-
side anyway. They are attractive policy-wise as the hallmark of convenience and utility, the
ultimate in serving the needs of the consumer. We need to look at current VET qualification
policy and delivery for the down-side, however. Micro-credentials in VET are not new. The
modular style of VET qualifications allows for them in a form as small as a statement of
attainment or a skill set....
Add this design and policy to other policies in Australia’s VET sector and a lethal mix is
created…those who need the most support to engage in deep learning are often the victims…
What long-term good is VET to students if the preferred option implied in policy promoted by
government is bit-sized learnings which the individual needs to string together to create
something meaningful? As I have said before, people are not well placed as consumers in this way,
as they have little information at their disposal to make wise decisions given they don’t have the
knowledge and skills for the industry. It’s like providing the ingredients but not the recipe.

HE has been described as an ‘anxiety machine’ due to:
• Excessive workloads & workload models
• Audit & metrics such as REF & TEF dominating working lives
• Precarious contracts for many
• Performance management linked to short-term outcomes &
unattainable expectations
Recommendations include:
• More realistic workload allocations;
• More responsible use of metrics;
• Better performance management (eg developmental & goal setting)
• Commit to sustainable careers; pathways frm postdoc to lectureship
