Design a poster (3 hrs)

Design a poster on closing the attainment gap and how HWB can contribute to this. This poster should be of a high quality with typed print and pictures on A 3 sized paper.  Posters will be shared with the class.  For the portfolio, take a picture of the poster and include a bibliography.

This poster is about bridging the attainment gap. It is quite difficult to read but all around the poster is the different initiatives, policies and programmes in place to try and improve the inequalities that exist in our society.

There are lots of different policies and initiatives that are being implemented in school, however there needs to be more research carried out in schools to find out whether or not they effective or how they can reflect on their practice and continue to improve.
