RAISE continued
RAISE Year 4
The key themes that are the focus for RAISE initiatives in Year 4 (2009-2010) are:
- multi-agency approaches to support the progress of disadvantaged learners;
- greater involvement of the wider community in the life and work of schools;
- increased efforts to engage parents in the learning of their children;
- the adoption of nurture approaches to supplement the impact of the home on pupils’ learning;
- broader approaches to language development that are set in the context of a holistic skills package, as a means of improving learning;
- making the secondary school curriculum, more relevant and vocational;
- strategies for improving learners’ motivation, behaviour, attendance, self esteem;
- improved transition processes for disadvantaged learners moving between the stages of education.
Consortium working approach
The RAISE year 4 programme was delivered via consortium working. Local Authorities, schools across swamwac, the RAISE Regional coordinator and the RAISE Regional Steering Group, worked closely together to develop projects and strategies which relate to local needs and priorities. The focus for each project was then agreed and a collaborative approach was developed.
