Gender and Educational Achievement

Throw your hands up at me!

Gender differences exist in most if not all aspects of education; this week we look at the external and internal explanations for these difference.

For the lesson, please ensure you bring your notes from this video and update the glossary, along with evidence that you have acted upon the feedback I gave you on at least 1 mock exam paper and last weeks cultural deprivation essay.  Feedback and marking is pointless unless you understand and act upon it.

Social class and Education - Internal factors

The final look at social class, and this week is looking at the internal factors.  What happens within a school to impact on your educational achievement with regards to your social class and background?

Please ensure you have marked your essays - if you have not collected them from me check your inbox from Tuesday 17th for a scanned copy and the mark criteria.  For those who haven't handed in the essay I need them emailed to me by asap.  I cannot guarantee I will mark them by the lesson unless you get them to me by end of Tuesday 17th.

Education and Social Class - week 2

This week we move on from Cultural deprivation, and focus on Material deprivation and Cultural capital, and their impact on educational achievement.  Does having more money mean a better education, even in state schools?

Sorry that there are 2 videos this week, but I could not fit them in to 15 minutes, and didn't want this to drag in to 3 weeks.

I have invited you all to access a Google Drive folder which holds the PPT's etc. for each lesson.  It should now be easier to access from you college accounts.  I have also put a link to the file as usual below - but please accept the invitation in your college email inbox.
