About
The working group was set up in autumn 2020. The group is interested in:
- How the NERUPI framework can be embedded in Uni Connect partnership (UCP) plans and evaluation approaches
- How UCPs plan to implement both requirements and guidance from the Office for Students. There is currently a strong focus on attainment raising in schools in line with OfS Guidance
- Evaluation methods
- Understanding the most effective ways to plan and prioritise evaluation as UCPS, given the large number of interventions being delivered
- Supporting the development and dissemination of the NERUPI Toolkit, including the question bank
- Exploring software and tools which can support Uni Connect evaluation and presentation of data
- Developing collaborative research and evaluation projects
Projects
The group is planning to:
- Pilot elements of the NERUPI question bank and collate their findings to aid development of the question bank and wider toolkit
- Explore how the ArcGIS mapping and analytics software can be used to assist with UCP data visualisation (subject to OfS confirmation that some form of area-based targeting will remain for Phase 3 of Uni Connect)
- Support the planning and delivery of the NERUPI Uni Connect event on the 28th April 2021, with input and presentations from working group members
