title: SW ASSIST Haddock trials

description: Meetings held with the industry as part of the ASSIST project, identified there were perceived deficiencies in the data on discard estimates for the otter trawlers using >100mm mesh codends and working from ports in the south west. When presenting results from the Cefas observer programme, feedback from the industry from this fishing activity was not sufficient to reflect the catch and discard estimates of these vessels, particularly with respect to the level of haddock discards. At these meetings it was stated that haddock was considered to be the most likely choke species during the transition to catch quotas as part of the new CFP reform. There is continued support from the industry in developing modifications to trawl designs to enable the avoidance of haddock. This was believed would reduce the economic impact of the early closure of fisheries caused by a fulfilment of the haddock quota. This would be achieved through temporal and spatial measures as well as gear technology development which would build on the work of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) and the South West Otter Trawl Project.

title: Shrewsbury Flax Mill Maltings Interpretation requirement

description: ***Please Note: Important update to project *** All tenders should be returned via In-tend and NOT by paper copy as stated in the Invitation to tender. *** The cost of the work will be part financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); subject to Investment Decision Group approval The Flax Mill Maltings is a unique and internationally important site, containing seven listed buildings including the first cast-iron framed building in the world along with the 3rd and 8th. Located in the heart of one of Shropshire’s most deprived communities, in 1985 the buildings became derelict and this important industrial heritage is currently ‘at risk’. A Partnership comprising English Heritage (EH), Shropshire Council and the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings has been working with other public sector partners to find a sustainable solution for the buildings. A project has been developed to conserve, and bring back into use, initially two historic buildings (Office & Stables) and create public realm space, improving access and offering activities so a broad range of people can explore, learn, participate and enjoy its unique and varied heritage. It will be the catalyst for the area’s wider regeneration and the site will once again become a vitally important local, regional and national landmark. The Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings (the Friends), were established in August 2010 and are a key partner in the project, contributing to the plans and working with EH to open the site for organised events, tours and pre-planned visits (www.flaxmill-maltings.co.uk). The Friends are committed to managing the public access areas long term and will manage the space created as part of the first stage of works (Office, Stables and Public Realm). They are also working with local schools, colleges and universities, have a thriving Community Arts Group and are engaged in a number of community orientated initiatives. The interpretation in the office and stables and public realm space is the first stage before a much larger and comprehensive exhibition and gallery space is created in the main mill, subject to proposals and funding being confirmed. Consequently, the interpretive themes in the first stage are envisaged as introductory.

 INVITATION TO TENDER

 [To receive a Word version of this document please email David Cameron david.cameron@iop.org]

 Introduction and overall programme aims

 Following a successful bid to the UK Department for Education (DfE), a partnership of the Institute of Physics and Myscience has been awarded a contract to manage the next phase of a major national programme to increase and broaden participation in A-level physics, called the ‘Stimulating Physics Network’ (SPN). The SPN programme has been in operation since 2009. In this phase (2014-2016), the programme will comprise two main elements:

 1. Increasing Participation and Developing Teachers: working in partnership with a rolling cohort of 400 selected Partner Schools over two years to achieve an increase in participation in A-level physics; and, in collaboration with networks of Science Learning Partnerships, Teaching Schools and other centres of excellence, providing support, resources and professional development for physics teachers across England, including mentoring for early career teachers.

 2. Improving Gender Balance (IGB): trialling a series of intensive interventions in 20 schools aiming to improve significantly the number of girls progressing to A-level physics

 SPN programme aims:

 - To increase the number of students at state-funded schools in England progressing to A-level physics;

 - Within an overall increase in numbers, to significantly narrow the gap in the proportion of boys and girls progressing to A-level physics;

 - To increase the number of students eligible for free school meals progressing to A-level physics;

 - To work with local Science Learning Partnerships and Teaching Schools to build capacity in the teaching profession to lead on their own development in the future.

 The Drayson Girls in Physics Pilot Programme aims to narrow the gap in the proportion of boys and girls progressing to A-level physics, through awareness-raising of the narrowing effects of gender stereotyping and confidence building of girls.

 Project Evaluation

 Evaluation will play a key role in ensuring the success of the projects and informing ongoing activities. We wish to appoint an organisation or consortium to evaluate the impact of the programmes over the period 2014-16, in the first instance. The proposed evaluation strategy will build upon and extend that of the existing phase of the SPN programme. The evaluation strategy will be closely linked to the project aims and objectives, and will provide data and summative evidence for a number of programme KPIs (see below). The evaluation strategy will also produce formative evidence and we are committed to act on all findings on an ongoing basis to improve the quality and impact of the SPN programme and the Drayson programme.

 Commissioning process

 External evaluators will be commissioned through an open tender. Respondents will be shortlisted and, if appropriate, deliver presentations to the SPN Management Group in June 2014. Following completion of all required financial due diligence protocols and agreement of contractual terms, we will appoint the selected external evaluator(s) by the end of June 2014 so that development work can commence in July 2014. There will be no limitation on the type of organisation that can bid for this work. Submissions will be judged on their effectiveness in meeting the specification, their understanding of the programmes, the experience of their key personnel of similar evaluation work, and the perceived value for money.

 Evaluation 1: Increasing Participation and Developing Teachers

 Summary of programme operations

 A team of 35 Teaching and Learning Coaches (TLCs) supports a national cohort of 420 SPN Partner Schools to address historically low progression to A-level physics; each Partner School, in consultation with their TLC, develops a bespoke and integrated programme of support for a period of two years. The programme of support is supplemented by specific, realistic and relevant targets for the school’s period as a Partner School and beyond. The Partner Schools’ programmes of support include a range of bespoke CPD workshops for all teachers of physics in the school, with a particular focus on developing the subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of those teachers without a specialist background in physics (‘non-specialists’). CPD takes place at each Partner School at least twice a term for two years. TLCs also offer SPN Partner Schools a range of pupil support and engagement activities to encourage greater progression to A-level physics and beyond. Non-specialist teachers of physics in SPN Partner Schools have the opportunity to attend a four-day residential Summer School. Summer Schools are held at Oxford and Cambridge colleges and at the National Science Learning Centre (NSLC) in York.

 The SPN programme will also provide a national programme of professional development and support for all physics teachers in England, including early career teachers; the SPN will work with existing networks and projects to enhance reach and impact. In summary:

 - TLCs will collectively offer about 100 CPD workshops annually, open to all physics teachers and supplemented by the IOP’s Teacher Network, focused on the teaching of physics at Key Stages 3 and 4 and hosted by local SLPs;

 - The TLC field team will provide personalised mentoring for about 400 trainee teachers each year, acting as an ‘external physics mentor’ for three years to develop the teachers’ practice and improve retention.

 Evaluation 2

 Part (a): Improving Gender Balance

 Summary of programme operations

 To improve the number of girls choosing to progress to A-level physics we will address the factors which the evidence suggests are important in influencing subject choices. We will set up three distinct interventions in a total of 20 schools to identify effective ways of increasing the number of girls choosing A-level physics:

 - Strand A: ‘Building confidence and resilience’

 We have developed specific interventions to address the findings that girls lack confidence in their ability to excel in A-level physics and will pilot them in 8 schools, working primarily with female students from Years 8 to 11. The work will be led and supported by two Project Officers.

 - Strand B: ‘Girls and the physics classroom’

 We will work with teachers to modify their pedagogy and classroom management during physics lessons. Two Project Officers will work with science teachers in 8 schools to implement recommended approaches to develop gender-aware pedagogy and classroom management, embed careers messages into lessons and to develop a model for practical work that engages girls.

 - Strand C: ‘School Culture’

 We will appoint Project Officers to work in 4 schools. They will be embedded in each school for two days a week. We will identify schools in which gender imbalances are reinforced across multiple subjects. The Project Officers will establish a whole school protocol that encourages teachers in all subjects to counter gender stereotyping effects. Project Officers will work to effect institutional change on the issue of gender stereotyping in pupil subject choice.

 Part (b): Drayson Girls in Physics Pilot Programme

 Summary of programme operations

 This is a three year programme, which is complementary to the IGB programme. It involves a combination of the three IGB strands, starting with whole school work. There will be six Partner Schools in the London/Thames Valley area, supported by a Project Officer. It will use the same evidence base as IGB and incorporate successful aspects of IGB work as the pilot progress.

 Summary of KPIs
