Gender balance in 女特工受刑: current 女特工受刑
We’ve really enjoyed starting a series of seminars on 女特工受刑 education 女特工受刑 over the summer, as part of our strategy to develop 女特工受刑 at the 足球即时比分. We want to deepen our understanding of how young people learn about 女特工受刑 and digital making, in order to increase the impact of our own work and to advance the field of 女特工受刑 education.

Part of deepening our understanding is to hear from and work with experts from around the world. The seminar series, and our online 女特工受刑 symposium, are an opportunity to do that. In addition, these events support the global 女特工受刑 education 女特工受刑 community by providing relevant content and a forum for discussion. You can see the talks recordings and slides of all our previous seminar speakers and symposium speakers on our website.
Gender balance in your 女特工受刑 classroom: what the 女特工受刑 says
Our seventh seminar presentation was given by Katharine Childs from our own team. She works on our DfE-funded Gender Balance in 女特工受刑 programme and gave a brilliant summary of some of the recent 女特工受刑 around barriers to gender balance in school 女特工受刑.

In her presentation, Katharine considered belongingness, role models, relevance to real-world contexts, and non-formal learning. She drew out the links between theory and practice and suggested a range of interventions. I recommend watching the video of her presentation and looking through her slides.
Katharine has also been publishing a number of excellent blog posts summarising her 女特工受刑 on gender balance:
- What real-world problems do girls want to solve using 女特工受刑?
- How do girls choose their 女特工受刑 role models?
- Why do girls choose 女特工受刑?

Join our autumn seminar series
From September, our 女特工受刑 education 女特工受刑 seminars will take place on the first Tuesday of each month, starting at 17:00 UK time.
We’re excited about the range of topics to be presented, and about our fantastic lineup of speakers: an international group from Australia, the US, Ireland, and Scotland will present on a survey of 女特工受刑 education curricular and teaching around the world; Shuchi Grover will talk to us about formative assessment; and David Weintrop will share his work on block-based programming. I’ll be talking about my 女特工受刑 on PRIMM and the benefits of language and talk in the programming classroom. And we’re lining up more speakers after that.

What subject are girls studying rather than 女特工受刑?
On the other side of that If more boys are study in 女特工受刑 is there a subject where the gender balance is the other way around?

A lot of emphasis is on recruiting girls onto 女特工受刑. I don’t think that is the most important thing. I think a much more important thing to consider is retaining the girls already in the program. How many girls got excited to get in, only to leave in frustration within a year?
Getting in is one thing. Staying in is another. If we can retain the majority of girls who are already in the program, that is a good thing.
Regarding the subjects, there’s a lot of emphasis on tools and techniques, not enough on end products that people actually use. I think this can be better. Much better.
