Hi Angeline, In the Graduate School of Education at Exeter we have a colleague, Sara Bennett, who since 2003 has worked one day per week, offering bespoke support to students with BME backgrounds. Initially her service was externally funded and for PGCE students only: now the School has taken over funding and Sara works with students from all programmes. The early development of the project is described in a paper (Givens, N.P. & Bennett, S.L. (2004) Tentative progress in a mainly white setting: hearing from trainee teachers from ethnic minority backgrounds Race Equality Teaching 23(1), 39-44). Annual Reports on the project's work are posted on the School website and the Multiverse Website (www.multiverse.ac.uk<http://www.multiverse.ac.uk/>). With the permission of students, data from the project is used to inform the School and the University about the particular challenges facing some BME students, and to inform staff development. For instance, data from the project was used last year as the basis of a Forum Theatre Performance which initiated our whole-school staff development focus (internationalization) for 2008-09. I attach a copy of the 2007-08 Report, and a late draft of the paper (we do not have an electronic copy of the paper as finally edited and published, but this draft is very close). Hope this is useful, and best wishes for your project, Nick Givens Senior Lecturer in Education. ________________________________ From: HE Administrators equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Angeline Carrozza Sent: 10 August 2009 17:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Positive action - bme student attainment projects Dear all, I'm currently working with UWE's faculty for Creative Arts to design a positive action project specifically looking at higher referral rates of bme students and interventions that have an impact on attainment for BME students.
