STEM Industry in the North Tickets 17 Nov 2021 at 17:00<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Improving Gender Balance and Equalities team are excited to announce the launch of their IGB Self-Evaluation Framework. This framework is designed to support schools and settings to take a long term, whole setting approach to addressing gender imbalance and creating a more equal learning environment. The framework consists of five main sections, which encourage both changes to classroom practice, alongside changes to school ethos and policy. The framework is designed to provide a foundation for schools to explore issues relating to gender balance and equalities in a way that suits the specific needs of each setting, whilst also providing a springboard for schools to explore wider inequalities and barriers. The team will also be providing professional learning for senior leaders looking to use the framework in their setting, and any practitioners leading on specific aspects of the framework.<\/p>\n Self evaluation framework<\/a><\/p>\n IGBE self evaluation framework professional learning January 27 2022<\/a><\/p>\n IGBE self evaluation framework professional learning February 2 2022\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Improving gender balance and equalities \u2013 looking at data through an equalities lens. <\/strong><\/p>\n This workshop will provide the opportunity to look at the IGBE data guides (primary\/ELC<\/a> and secondary<\/a>) in more detail.
