Engagement and re-engagement in learning at Key Stage 3
This Change Project addresses issues of early intervention, reducing exclusion, increasing attendance and tackling under-achievement. A Knowledge Exchange event was held in March and the project began in June 2007 with the formation of a multi-disciplinary Change Project group to explore how to implement the messages from research about these issues.
In October 2007 we published a scoping review of the literature Disengagement and Re-engagement of Young People in Learning at Key Stage 3 (Morris and Pullen 2007) and an audio CD Staying on Course: Educational engagement and re-engagement.
The Action Pack was launched at the Link Officers Annual Meeting in October 2008 and we are now running the pilot group to evaluate the Action Pack. The final handbook will be published in June 2010.
Key date: Publication of Handbook, June 2010 Who it’s for: managers, teachers and practitioners working with young people at risk of disengagement from learning at Key Stage 3 working both within schools and outside mainstream educational settings. Facilitators for Change Project:

Aims and ObjectivesThis Change Project, run initially in partnership with the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), is funded by the DCSF. It is focused on the engagement and re-engagement of young people in learning – specifically on the challenges of keeping young people engaged in education at Key Stage 3. This project has introduced a group of local policy makers, managers and practitioners in education and social care to the research messages from a recent review of UK and European research on pupil engagement, disengagement and disaffection at Key Stage 3. This group have been supported in a project designed to shape practice or planning in their agency (informed by the research in this area) over the period the group met. Materials, guidance and the tools, that have been the outcome of this collaborative learning process, have now been incorporated into an Action Pack which is now being piloted. The evolving policy context promoting collaboration and joint working in this area means that the relevance of this material spans a number of different disciplines – social work, teaching, youth work and the range of other staff currently involved with disengaged youngsters. It also spans a range of settings - people working both within and outside schools. We are planning to extend the examples of practice in the final Handbook to include more ‘out of school’ settings and projects working specifically with parents as partners in their children’s learning. The resulting material will be published as a Handbook in 2010. If you have any questions about the project please contact: Elizabeth Cooke, Knowledge Manager: 01803 867692 elizabeth@rip.org.uk |
