Which means…

Disadvantage:– exists from (the accident of) birth– gaps widen through the life-course– affects cognitive and non-cognitive

intrinsic factors… and extrinsic factors (e.g. opportunities)… and the system reinforces disadvantage

(statutory targets don’t add up to success)


One person, many inputs: two problems


Schizophrenia and the Anti-Vision

We separate cognitive and non-cognitive development… (cf. Heckman, J.)

Prevailing rhetoric provides for an anti-vision for young people – don’t be NEET, don’t be on benefits, don’t riot…

Statutory duties and targets do not add up to a compelling vision for our children

Ability matters to employment, earnings, education, crime and health;

Abilities are multiple: non-cognitive abilities have direct affects on employment, earnings, education, crime and health;

Ability and health gaps open up between different socio-economic groups very early;

Investment in young disadvantaged children delivers higher returns than those in adolescents;

But, the impact of early investment is lessened if not followed up later;

Socio-emotional (non-cognitive) skills foster cognitive skills.


The Vision

Whole person, whole journey progression

Cognitive

Non-cognitive

Social

Primary, secondary…

Learning and qualifications

Asset-based

… Post-16, HE, career

Career education and guidance

THRIVING ADULTHOOD

… for the whole system


The situation

National Strategy for Access and Student Success…– Closer collaboration (to what end?)– Stronger evidence (of what outcome?)– Lifecycle approach(outreach, transition, retention, success,

employability…)


What it means

Whole journey ✓

Whole person ? Whole system (or Partnership) ?

A challenge and an opportunity


Our Conceptual Framework for Progression

What are the personal capacities that enable success through the lifecycle?

What contextual factors enable or disable success through the lifecycle?

What are the ‘active ingredients’ that grow personal capacities / build enabling contexts?


Aspirations + Awareness + Attainment = Progression

The Progression Equation (whole person)

Whole Journey

How do you ensure the complementarity of potentially disparate provision and interventions across the life-cycle?

How do you know that your inputs build on those before and alongside them – and contribute to a learners’ progression to thriving adulthood/career?

What can I do?

THINK like a progression-oriented practitioner; with an asset-based vision for whole person, whole journey progression

PLAN to build on what has gone before and with concurrent inputs (i.e. in partnership) – for a thriving adulthood

ACT to grow aspirations, awareness and attainment
