Increasing #AdultLiteracy can impact multiple generations of a family by boosting economic mobility and children’s academic achievement. That's why NCFL is proud to be part of ALL IN: The Adult Literacy and Learning Impact Network, a collective impact initiative charged with carrying out the National Action Plan for Adult Literacy.

Earlier this week, I chaired a panel for one of Paul Hamlyn Foundation's Teacher Development Fund (TDF) cohorts, all of whom are working on primary arts practice teacher development projects. One of the central strands of their work is to address inequities for children and build anti-racist practices into the heart of their projects. Having previously heard from a range of experts to better understand the nature of educational inequities and some of the possible components of anti-racist practice, participants arrived to hear from Kirsty Cooper, Michelle McGrath, and Tyreis Holder sharing their journeys with this work. Once we begin to explore inequities in society, and more specifically in education, we will find it located everywhere. This can lead to a sense of overwhelm. It can seem impossible for the system to be changed from within. When there's a sense of powerlessness, any attempt towards change can feel hopeless. So, we ask, where to begin? These starting points are based on themes that emerged during the panel discussion, my own novice learning and experiences, and are therefore far from exhaustive. Rather, these are a myriad of possibilities to demonstrate the agency we have to strive toward change: https://lnkd.in/eqHJApg6 Thank you to Kevina Khan for thoughtfully designing the session and to Greg Klerkx for hosting. #equity #equityineducation #antiracism #artseducation #professionaldevelopment #teacherdevelopment #CPD

Here are the three ways to empower children: 1. Ensure children have access to high-quality education. 2. Connect children with mentors and support networks that provide guidance. 3. Encourage critical thinking, creativity, and self-expression through programs and activities. #BCDIAtlanta #BCDIAtlantaAdvocates #BlackChildrenCount

Resolving education-related issues often involves a combination of strategies such as improving funding, enhancing teacher training, updating curriculum to be more relevant, increasing access to resources and technology, and fostering partnerships between schools and communities. It's also crucial to address socio-economic disparities and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

Our literacy issues stem from the epigenetics of control-based Biblical literacy and the punishment-based legacy of those beginnings is ever-present in our schools today. In order to dissolve these issues we need to address the associations we make between literacy and shame, literacy and kindness, literacy and joy, literacy and duress... How we teach anything is everything.

Over the past three years, Get Islington Reading has reached 10,000 children and community members through 368 events and activities in schools, libraries, and the community. The project brought together national and local partners from The Reading Agency and Islington Council to authors and local libraries, all centred around a shared reading agenda.    This breadth of partners enabled us to use a multidimensional approach to transform young readers' experiences, with interventions in schools alongside summer holiday reading challenges, book gifting, and story trails in the community. We supported schools with a reading for pleasure budget and offered CPD for teachers to help with supporting pupils with the transition from primary to secondary school.    So what did we achieve? More children and young people...  ✅ Enjoy reading   ✅ Engage in positive reading behaviours like using their school or public library   ✅ Think positively about reading   ✅ Feel confident about reading   ✅ Read for empowerment     The impact is clear: 100% of participating schools increased their focus on reading for enjoyment, while 68% of parents reported visiting libraries more frequently as a family. These successes, achieved amidst a backdrop of declining national literacy rates and enjoyment of reading, underscore the importance of collaborative community-driven literacy projects and create a model for others to adopt.     Read the report: https://lnkd.in/ejvggB2d

The responses to The Big Ambition are clear, children really value their education, many love their teachers, but they want to see schools focus on a stronger pastoral support offer. In the year ahead, I will be using more of these findings from The Big Ambition to inform my vision for the school system. I want to ensure that the voices of England’s children shape the education system which serves them. https://lnkd.in/eBkNzDD2
