Agriculture Future of America’s Post

In a sector that has so many challenges, and at times feels like you are running in tar, it is important that we come together to celebrate the achievements. The wins are what keeps us going, what inspires us, what amazes us and shows why we do what we do. NCFE have been running our Aspiration Awards for a number of years now and they are a great opportunity to celebrate achievement. What I love about them is they don't just recognise someone who has got the highest qualification it recognises those who have overcome barriers to achieve their aims. For those who cannot take learning as a guarantee and is a struggle to accommodate for numerous reasons. Do you know a special someone in your centre, someone who has gone the extra mile, overcome huge barriers to achieve? Someone who is often the unsung hero but without them it just wouldn't work? Why not take a look at our categories and put forward your own nominations for the aspirational person in your world! https://lnkd.in/ev_XeuBB #AspirationAwards #Celebrate

Hello LinkedIn Friends! Being a part of UNI PRSSA has given me some amazing opportunities to get involved on campus and make connections outside of UNI. 💛 💜 This past February our executive board members got an opportunity to travel to Minneapolis for an agency tour. We went to three businesses and learned who they are and what they do. Check out the newest blog post that I wrote ✍ if you want to read more about it!

Congratulations to ALL our students. Regardless of the number of points you received, each of you have learned and grown. You’ve given of yourselves in so many positive ways, and UWC Atlantic College is better because you’ve spent two years here. To my colleagues and fellow educators, it is time that we rethink and challenge the very foundations upon which we educate and ‘school’ our young people. 1. Let’s rethink the incentive models we have in place and the kinds of behaviours it encourages and rewards. How do we celebrate growth and community? Who gains when we showcase things like our DP averages? Who do we harm? And what are the unintended consequences of an educational culture that values this? 2. If we agree that the challenges our world faces are more complex and interconnected/ interdependent than ever before (think pandemics, climate crisis, extreme forms of violence), how are we fostering a deeper sense of community and solidarity to one another and our planet through the education we offer? And what sorts of institutional behaviours get in the way of this? Let’s use this time of year to take stock of the state of education today and understand the role we collectively need to play - and let’s build differently by disrupting some of our most basic practices like sharing IB averages in a public manner for uncertain motivations, ranking students based on achievement and handing out awards only to students who ‘do better’ than the rest.

An important message below from Dr Michael Myers OAM.

I had a small involvement with Dr Michael Myers OAM and the Re-Engineering Australia Foundation Ltd. I think they did some amazing things and helped little Australia punch well above her weight. I should acknowledge many educators and students and industry sponsors were also critical to this outcome. I saw how Michael and REA had been able to influence school-aged children, and focussed STEM programs within schools to provide real world-like experiences that were/are of value to Defence, defence and space industry in Australia. I also saw how the initial F1 in Schools program not only provided STEM challenges, but also business challenges as students and schools had to look to industry for assistance and sponsorship to truly form world beating teams. In my time Australia, and in particular South Australia, did produce world-beating teams. Since those earlyish days most of Australia caught up to the South Australian successes. Now, I'm well aware that STEM is not the be all and end all when it comes to Defence and defence industry. But I could see how the F1 in Schools program, that also then developed the Subs in Schools, 4x4 In Schools and more recently Space in Schools programs, could morph into programs that also could develop those necessary non-STEM career paths too. I would like to think that enterprising entities and/or people, can see the value in these programs and open conversations with Michael and REA's Board members to ensure these programs not only continue, but grow into an important option to motivate students for careers in Defence, defence industry and space. Perhaps that might be an enterprising industry association (Defence Teaming Centre) or an enterprising Government agency (Defence SA) or a combination of entrepreneurial companies. These things do take time and money to coordinate well. But the investment is well worth it if it helps build a pipeline of people to fill the recognised gaps we have in order to achieve the lofty aims of Government in having a workforce to help Australia be successful on the world stage in many different future career paths (not all STEM). #Australia #future #workforce #STEM #NotJustSTEM #defenceIndustry #Space #Defence #Education #F1inSchools #SubsinSchools #SpaceinSchools #4x4inSchools #Government #MakeAustraliaGreatStill
