Clackmannanshire Reading and Readers Project August 2017 - August 2020 Clackmannanshire Reading and Readers Project August 2017 - August 2020 Background: Achievement in reading is influenced by both socio-economic background and gender. This is because learning to read, and being a reader is not just about acquiring the necessary knowledge or skill-sets, but is also about how reading as an activity is socially and culturally mediated; what any learner ‘takes’ from any learning event depends on what they think the activity is about and what they think the task is for. Working in partnership with Research Project Funded Clackmannanshire Council this project shall explore the above with educators by the Scottish using the Strathclyde Three Domains Model. Government Aim: This project is designed to help educators co-create, with their pupils, a Contacts: reading curriculum that explores how cognitive knowledge and skills for reading, Sue Ellis reader and learner identity and cultural capital can intersect with the class and Professor of Education School of Education curriculum organization and teaching in schools and classrooms in positive University of Strathclyde effective and efficient ways to raise attainment. Floor 5, Lord Hope Building Participants: Head teachers and classroom teachers from all primary schools 141 St James Road, across Clackmannanshire. Glasgow G4 0LT 0141 444 8045 Method: A qualitative longitudinal approach shall be taken over a period of three [email protected] years. This shall include Continued Professional Development (CPD) sessions, interviews and questionnaires. Information shall be gathered from several sources and shall utilise both qualitative and quantitative methods in order to enable an exploration of; understanding, implementation and impact. Design and Procedure: In Year 1 volunteer schools shall engage in direct staff development, acquiring content knowledge and tools to address the cultural capital, identity and cognitive aspects of reading. Participants will trial ideas, report back and collectively problematize and contextualize the aims and execution of the reading curriculum in their own context. Class-based and school- based curriculum development initiatives, building on the interests and strengths of individuals and schools will be established with success shared with non- participant schools. New schools and individuals will be recruited for Year 2, following the above. In Year 3, we will use the momentum built in both sets of schools to bring the writing curriculum into line with the reading curriculum. Outcomes: The research elements will generate knowledge about how to achieve the above, by understanding how and why teachers need to adapt their views of literacy learning to create an appropriate ‘literacy learning mix’ for the children that the school serves. The knowledge generated will be original knowledge, applicable to schools across Scotland and perhaps internationally. .

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018
    Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018 Background Strathclyde Mediation Clinic was founded in 2012 with the twin goals of enhancing students’ skills and providing a useful service to society. The university has always seen itself as the ‘place of useful learning’ so, when students on the Masters in Mediation and Conflict Resolution sought opportunities to develop their skills, a free service for local people was a perfect fit. The Clinic enables these postgraduates (with backgrounds in law, management, HR and other professions) to work alongside experienced ‘Lead’ mediators. Glasgow Sheriff Court invited the Clinic to offer small claims mediation from February 2014. Considerable work went into developing paperwork and systems.1 In the first year of the project the Clinic conducted 39 mediations; 31 resulted in settlement (79%) and in 94% of these the terms were fulfilled. Nearly all cases involved unrepresented parties on one or both sides. The Clinic continued to provide small claims mediation during 2015 and 2016, mediating 32 and 22 cases respectively, with settlement rates averaging 70% and compliance running at over 95%. Simple Procedure The publication of the new Simple Procedure rules in summer 2016 led to discussions with Sheriffs Principal in Glasgow and Strathkelvin and in North Strathclyde. They asked the Clinic to provide mediation to enable their courts to fulfil the numerous references in the rules to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). No information was provided by Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS) or Scottish Government about how ADR might be made available. The rules allow sheriffs considerable discretion. Different courts planned to take different approaches, as set out below: • Glasgow: referral to mediation at First Written Orders (meaning parties do not attend court prior to the referral).
