    The Importance of native bees with expert Kit Prendergast

    On this episode I speak to Bee expert Kit Prendergast about Australia’s native bees.

I chat to kit discussing her studies on native bees finding out some fascinating and bizarre facts. Along the lines of what places sting the most, where and why native bees are important, how to increase native bees in your area, bee hotels, Bee social structures and is the exploding occupation of honey from Honey Bee detrimental to our native bees and their environment.

    More than ever, as budget restrictions take effect, it is vital that colleges, community learning services and work-based learning providers develop precise and informed strategies.Cuts to the 19+Learning budget; a fall in student enrolment and the funding gap has resulted in increasing challenges to the education system across the board.These difficulties provide an opportunity to look to new innovative ways to improve services; attract new students; make savings through shared services, smart procurement and technology, and look to global markets.This annual forum brings together senior leaders and managers of FE and sixth form colleges; training providers and providers of adult education and work-based learning to discuss the future of the sector and address the challenges they will face.

    Promoting excellence in teaching and learning in higher education #HEteaching: Chief Executive, Higher Education Academy
    Funding for teaching in UK Higher Education is changing. Interim measures are in place for 2012-13 and a HEFCE consultation on future funding plans is currently taking place. \n Whatever the outcome, the move to demand-led funding has crucial implications for many aspects of teaching and learning.With more students choosing flexible and blended learning, the boundaries between full; part-time and distance learners are blurring. Not only are institutions being challenged to teach and support an increasingly diverse student cohort – this also requires additional quality assurance guidance.The use of open educational resources (OER) is also increasing, bringing a new range of opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning. Finally, as more information becomes available to students via Key Information Sets (KIS) data, institutions will have to respond to changing expectations of the student experience.Watch the free presentation - Professor Craig Mahoney, Chief Executive of the Higher Education Academy here

    Can't Speak, Can't Learn: What's the Impact of Non-Native Speakers in Schools?: Consultant, Author, Teacher and Teacher-Trainer
    #cacsclAs experts in assessment, we believe it is our duty to provide a forum to debate key educational issues. This event focused on English as an Additional Language (EAL).The proportion of primary school children speaking other languages at home has doubled in the past decade. The DfE estimates that nearly one million pupils do not speak English as a first language (schools census January 2011).It is hard to spot a 'gifted and talented' pupil if they are held back by language challenges. It is also hard to spot those with genuine educational needs. What impact does this have on teachers and the education of mainstream students? How can we ensure every child can access the whole curriculum?Cambridge Assessment addressed the following questions during the conference:1. How might all subject teachers have a grounding in language teaching nowadays?2. To what extent can we say that 'every teacher is a language teacher'?3. How can we be sure that potential 'gifted and talented' non-native speakers are being identified as such?4. How can teachers ensure that silent or challenged non-native speakers are not misdiagnosed as having special educational needs?5. In what ways do schools encourage the learning and maintenance of students' mother tongues?
