OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Research-Practice-Policy Triad: Lessons and Challenges from an Early Childhood Global Initiative
The Child Development and Learning (CDL) research group is delighted to invite participation in this workshop. We have a limited number of places available for participants from departments across the University.
Predicated on findings that attested to the poor quality of early childhood services in many low- and middle-income countries, an inventive, comprehensive, effort was launched in 40 counties that worked to improve community engagement, knowledge transfer, pedagogical quality, and accountability efforts. Sponsored by UNICEF, the effort focused on the development and implementation of early learning and development standards in African, Southeast Asian, Pacific Island, and post-soviet countries. This presentation will focus on criteria that must be considered when designing and implementing a global strategy in diverse cultural, political, economic, and policy contexts. It will present accomplishments, challenges, and lessons for consideration when international entities seek to use research to advance practice and policy.
Please contact Sonali Nag or Kathy Sylva if you would like to attend.
