E.R. Inst This case study describes the development of Electronics within the curriculum in line with how both (Reid and Walker 19751 Case Studies in Curriculum Change) and (Goodaon I983» School Subjects and Curriculum Change) discussed changes in terms of theories of curriculum change. Alternative definitions of the term innovation are reviewed and for the purpose of this study a definition is adopted which includes syllabus change and major changes of scale and strategy. The study gives an outline of the major theories of innovation and implementation strategy. Features of centralisation and rationalisation are described insofar as these features led to current educational initiatives. An account is given of how Electronics developed as a topic within 'Ar level Physics, a subject within B.E.T.E.C. (previously Q.N..C./T.E.C.) and as a separate G.C.E. subject. Data on examination entries in G.C..E. and C.3.E. Electronics ore. presented. These data ore related to the- size of L.E.A.s, the type of centre, and also to explore the viability of G.C.E./G.C.S.E.. provision in Electronics. Initiatives such as M.E.P., T.V.E.I., C.P.V.E., S.3.C.R. are described as they are expected to have a significant impact on the growth of Electronics. The position of Electronics within the curriculum and its educational value are discussed. Comment is made on the Systems and. Components approaches to Electronics and on the importance of project work. Teacher difficulties with project work are noted and suggestions are made on the use and range of equipment available so that a suitable teaching style may be developed.

It is impossible to properly articulate in these pages the gratitude to all past and present employees, partners, sponsors, funders, and volunteers who have made this possible. 2018/19 has seen us continue the fine work across the community and in schools, and the most exciting development of all has been the capacity we have as an organization to now host all of our holiday camps, tournaments, leagues and events at our own facility. All of our users have benefited from the outstanding facilities, and we are continually building bridges across the entire North East community to grow our provision, delivery and the opportunities for all interested in sport.

  • Annex SCHEMES to BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED
    Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2009 Background This document is called “Schemes to be progressed if developer funding is secured” and is also known as the “Blue Book”. In line with latest national guidance (see below), County and District Councils have developed a structured approach to the identification of transport needs related to development proposals. This aims, in particular, to improve the link between meeting the needs of development and the aims of the Local Transport Plan. The County Council’s Works Programme and Forward Programme are produced annually to list the highways and transport schemes to be progressed with the funds available. This year, the Forward Programme has been extended to include schemes that have been identified, in liaison with the Local Planning Authorities, as meeting LTP objectives but that cannot be progressed within available funding. Developer contributions will be sought towards these schemes, where they are seen to meet the needs of development proposals. This extended Forward Programme has been subject to consultation and will be supported by District Councils and used to assist the development control process. The programme will be updated each year and it is intended to engage wider community interests in developing and updating the programme in future years. Planning Context Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 : Transport requires authorities to demonstrate a linkage between land use planning and transport policies and objectives. PPG13 recognises that: • Local Transport Plans have a central role in co-ordinating and improving local transport provision and should relate to measures which form part of the local approach to the integration of planning and transport.

  • Rutter Carroll RYDER to Maintain Consistency of Output Over 60 Years of Practice Is a Tough Call
    RYDER Rutter Carroll RYDER_ To maintain consistency of output over 60 years of practice is a tough call. We have PREFACE never tried to change; we have simply tried to improve the quality of our surroundings, and in doing so, the quality of people’s lives. PETER Looking back there is a remarkable consistency of approach, and in many ways this interests us more than the product. After all, the product is a product of the approach, BUCHAN it kind of looks after itself. The ‘what’ of ‘what we do’ is about simplicity, usefulness, elegance. To continue to improve this we have become increasingly obsessed with the ‘how’ of our architecture. The ‘how’ is about developing the best people and creating organisations that allow them to grow and contribute, to achieve what we collectively define as excellence. It has been quite a journey, and it is only in hindsight that one begins to read the patterns. Most of the time we are so committed to dealing with the present and considering the future that there is a little opportunity, or indeed desire, to reflect on the past. The connections to the two postwar pioneers, Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates, seem tenuous and potent in equal measure. In turn, their own connections to the legacy of Berthold Lubetkin and Le Corbusier seem now equally tenuous yet potent. There is something powerful in the collective memory and culture of an organisation; sometimes carried forward by individuals, often at times by a surge of a whole group. It shapes what we do. This is why we have been so taken up with the ‘how’, and we have striven to build a collective, a shared culture and vision that runs through the whole organisation, wherever its people are located.
