Context: Describes WP/equity agenda post-Bradley as 'education revolution'. Examines an OECD framework ('Equity and Quality in Education. Supporting Disadvantaged Students and Schools' (2012)) designed to 'strengthen schools in disadvantaged areas' to help students complete Year 12 and consider tertiary education and focuses on one such program - AVID - as an example of secondary/tertiary collaboration. Critiques the implicitness of class and elitism in discussions of widening participation and 'aspiration' to HE: "It is our contention that the "raising aspiration" discourse is one that firmly fixes people from disadvantaged backgrounds as without ambition, understanding, realistic hope for change or even recognition that they "need" change. As with every dichotomy, this categorisation is set against a middle-class norm where people possess the cultural and social capital to understand the advantages that higher education brings, and the wherewithal to make sure they use the system successfully" (p.2)
Theoretical frame: None
Methodology: Essay/discussion
Findings:
Connects the OECD imperatives with the Advancement Via Individual Development (AVID) program: "AVID demystifies entry processes to tertiary education by explicitly teaching students institutional literacies" (p.6) - teaches 11 'essential attributes'. Authors make recommendations on basis of both OECD and AVID goals:
Recommendation 1: strengthen and support school leadership
Recommendation 2: stimulate a supportive school climate/ environment for learning
Recommendation 3: attract, support and retain high-quality teachers
Recommendation 4: ensure effective classroom learning strategies
Recommendation 5: prioritise linking schools-parents-communities
Core argument: AVID is a good program
