Good morning 🌅
It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for another #Edujobs bulletin.
An hour of the latest jobs in education but not in school classrooms.
Shout if you land one of these, people do!
Share if I miss one you know of
Wave if you’re watching.

Matt Horton, @TWPerry1, & Tracy Whatmore offer a validated Toolkit for Access and Participation Evaluation (TAPE). Learn how it can improve higher education access for under-represented groups 🗝️🎓

ALT The background image shows a key labelled ‘higher education’ next to a graduation cap. This is overlaid with the ‘Educational Review’ journal title at the top. In the middle is the article title and author name(s): ‘A validated toolkit for access and participation evaluation (TAPE)’ by Matt Horton, Thomas Perry & Tracy Whatmore. The words “Open Access” appear in a red circle.
New paper validating the Toolkit for Access and Participation Evaluation (TAPE) now out! May be of interest to those working in widening participation and HE evaluation:
📄 You can access the full validation results in Educational Review Journal here: doi.org/10.1080/00131911.202…
4/5
💡 Why use TAPE?
- Free to use
- Accurately measures the impact of WP activities on pupil AABs
- The first toolkit to demonstrate predictive validity
- Provides a meaningful baseline to understand pupils’ strengths and barriers
- Supports targeted, preventative interventions
5/5
We know of over 100 HEIs and third sector organisations already using TAPE to strengthen their evaluation. If you’d like to join them or find out more, feel free to get in touch!

While the use of cognitive science research can aid teaching, it needs to be filtered and combined with the unique demands of individual subjects, say @mikehobbiss and @PaulCline_psy
