I know all of you be thinking about reading material for the October break , so with that in mind can I suggest we read "Improving Student Retention and Achievement" by Paul Martinez: http://mail.stevenson.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.ulster.ac.uk/star/resources/lsda_report.pdf This seems highly relevant given the problems we have around student retention from November onwards. It’s a good summary of research and I think will stimulate a good discussion around ideas for improving retention.
I’m not sure if anyone has had a chance to follow the links on Mindset, confidence and wellbeing : http://www.centreforconfidence.co.uk/projects.php?p=cGlkPTU4. I think this is an area that we could explore at a future meeting, especially as Carol Craig is speaking at a FERRN event on December 5th at Cardonald College. It may be worth some of us going to this and feeding back to the group.
The next EDDG meeting is November 5th @ 12.15- 1.15 in room 810 (bring your lunch) . I hope to see you there, but meanwhile any thoughts and suggestion let me know.
