Three words for this article; eloquent, compelling, masterful! Thank you Leo Winkley I really enjoyed reading this! So important to keep highlighting the power of school partnerships across the independent and state sectors.

Bravo to two recent efforts getting the word out on the value of college! 📣 The National Association of Higher Education Systems (representing 65 state systems from across the country) created their “College is Worth It” social media campaign to change public perceptions on the value of higher education with stats like a 65% income boost. Well done Jason E. Lane, Tristan Denley, and team! 🚎 The Gates Foundation US and Strada Education Foundation and Roadtrip Nation have organized a road trip and public television series about how people find their paths with students sharing their stories, stopping at campuses, and meeting experts along the way. Can’t wait to tune into this. Applications are due 4/14 so spread the word! What are you doing to communicate and increase the value of #highereducation? I’m working on this problem from the top down and bottom up. 🎓 At Buro Happold we work with #collegesanduniversities to enable #studentsuccess with better facilities, support services, and technology. 📗Through my book How to Get the Most Out of College, I get the word out to students and families that it’s not just where you go to college but what you do while you’re there that determines value and drives #collegeROI in #highered

Free to attend. Our next talk is with the wonderful Professor Gill Richards - this session is in hybrid format (both online and in person). Gill has a wealth of experience and expertise in SEND, Equity, and Inclusion; her talks are hugely accessible, deeply connected to the research, and always delivered with kindness. Here is a little taster: Do you really know me? Understanding the impact of some young people's reality. Most schools have students who cause them concern, but despite an ever-increasing range of initiatives and strategies, there are some vulnerable young people who continue to exist on the periphery of school life. While there can be many reasons for this, one thing is clear, these young people’s needs are not being met. Could this be because schools are responding to what they know about their students from what is overtly presented, unaware of deeper issues impacting their lives? In this session, through examples of research and school practice, Gill explores how really knowing our students enables us to make better informed decisions on ways in which to address the barriers they experience so they can benefit from a more positive engagement with education.
