  • Audiouk Response to Ofcom Call for Evidence Relating to BBC Sounds
    AudioUK response to Ofcom call for evidence relating to BBC Sounds About the independent UK audio production sector 1. AudioUK is the trade body for the audio-led production sector in the UK. AudioUK has four core priorities: Business; Representation; Community; and Excellence – and has over 100 member companies based across the whole of the UK. AudioUK runs the Audiotrain skills programme. It also runs the Audio Production Awards, an annual celebration of the craft skills of audio production. AudioUK, along with Radiocentre, oversees the administration of the Audio Content Fund which distributes a grant from the UK government to fund public service content on commercial and community radio. As a member of the DCMS Broadcasting, Film and Production Working Group, AudioUK has produced guidelines for safe working in audio production during the coronavirus pandemic. 2. Outside of in-house radio and publishing production, audio production is carried out by a mixture of companies and self-employed individuals. In terms of companies we estimate there are between 180-200 SMEs spread around the UK. Traditionally audio production companies worked almost exclusively for the BBC, but activity has broadened out to podcasting, audiobooks and productions for commercial radio. The latter has been encouraged by the Audio Content Fund, which has created numerous new partnerships between indie audio production companies and commercial radio stations1. 3. We continue to support the existence of an independent and well-funded BBC, providing public service content to the Licence Fee Payer, nevertheless there is a real opportunity for the UK audio production sector to build its international reputation as a maker of first-class audio content, attracting more investment from partners such as podcast platforms, brands and national and international broadcasters.

  • Renaissance New Student & Parent Info
    The Renaissance Core Principles Based on the Coalition of Essential Schools Ten Common Principles Learn to use one's mind well, to think, to problem- solve. Less is more; it’s all about depth and mastery rather than coverage of material. Goals apply to all students. Personalization – teachers respond best to students they know well; students respond best to teachers they know well. Student-as-worker, teacher-as-coach – students learn how to learn. Demonstration of mastery – real life ways to show what students know and are able to do. A tone of safety, kindness, high expectations and trust. Commitment to the entire school – teachers are gen- eralists first – specialists second. Resources must be dedicated to teaching and learning. Democracy and a commitment to equity; we will ex- plicitly challenge all forms of inequity.
