Sociocultural researchers are interested in how, when, why, and howmuch students learn in different classrooms and schools as explanations for why somechildren achieve more than others. Unfortunately, many studies have shown [...]

Sociocultural researchers are interested in how, when, why, and howmuch students learn in different classrooms and schools as explanations for why somechildren achieve more than others. Unfortunately, many studies have shown that somepopulations of children receive a very different education than others (Allington, 1977,1983; Anyon, 1997; Finn, 1999; McDermott, 1977; Michaels, 1981; Rist, 1970), and thepattern is clear: Across the nation, instruction, materials, students’ school experiences,and expertise of teachers are of lower quality in schools serving children of poverty thanin schools serving middle-class kids. This does not mean that all teachers and schoolsserving poor kids are bad, of course; there are many examples to the contrary. Yet, thisis and has been a national trend for a long time.

I found this information very useful, because as tutor/assessor I have to be aware of the Qualifacation Framework and also understand the different levels. It can aslo help assess and verify if a learner is on the right course by assessing prior learning and experience. Sometimes learners are put on a course but prior learning has not been assessed, and I value the learner as a teacher; I always have discussions with learners to assess if they are on the right course.

Daedalus Theatre looking to exhibit artists work
Daedalus Theatre Company will be staging the complete version of A Place at the Table at Camden People’s Theatre 2-19 November 2011 and at Southwark Cathedral for a short period in January 2012
Looking for an artist or group to exhibit their work in the theatre foyer/box office/bar while our current production A Place at the Table is on, 2-19 Nov – exact dates would have to be discussed.
The only artistic stipulation is that the work has some kind of relationship with the play and/or Africa in general. The venue’s hoping to have African beer at the bar and maybe an African band playing post-show one night. It’d be about getting work seen/connecting to people with an interest in African-related culture.
