<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks Joss. Today I had a meeting with Karen
Bailey,Lincolnshire County Council Children's Services i/c of education, and
left her some fliers. She points out that care leavers do get their
University education funded from the public purse. But there are others
who wish to maintain their job and continue with education.</FONT></DIV>

Catering for the open day has been arranged by David. <BR>> <BR>> 5.
Meeting Agenda: Open day, publicity, Goldsmith's discussion, membership,

respond to typical questions on the Open Day:<BR>> <BR>> 6. What will be

<BR>> 7. We should develop a calendar of guest lecturers and events once
classes have started. Held at The Collection, Usher, Pathways, Croft
street.<BR>> <BR>> How will learning be assessed?<BR>> <BR>> 8.
Indicate how the courses will be assessed. Negotiated between tutor and
student. Not qualification driven but objective is higher learning. Entry and
exit statement. Dependent on student aspirations. <BR>> <BR>> 9. How to
keep track of who is participating, who is mentoring who, etc.?<BR>>
<BR>> How many hours committment is the SSC?<BR>> <BR>> 10. 2hrs
meeting per class per week. What do we call them? Modules? No. Language is
difficult. Discuss with members. Two modules run in parallel for ten weeks
with a one week break. <BR>> <BR>> Start date is October 1st and January
14th for ten weeks. Third term is Summer school.<BR>> <BR>> Where will
classes be taught?<BR>> <BR>> 11. Nomadic around city. Free access to
Collection and Usher during working hours. Free access to Pathways. Mint Lane
lease has been renewed for 7 years. Space available for £10/hr.<BR>>
<BR>> 12. Insurance quoted as £291 with Richard Hatcher and co.
(Manchester). What does it cover? Members are covered across all venues? Mike
to investigate further.<BR>> <BR>> 13. SSC membership: 91 people on
discussion list. 40 signed up members of SSC.<BR>> <BR>> 14. The Social
Science Research Council has recognised the eligibility of SSC students for
their prizes. <BR>> <BR>> 15. Goldsmiths article.
https://goldsmithsleu.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/lincoln-social-science-centre/<BR>>
<BR>> Difficulty of maintaining activity outside work. Formal structure of
SSC gives us stability. Shouldn't be too demanding on our time so that it
exhausts us. Individual contributions differ over different times. <BR>>
<BR>> 16. Mike will visit Toronto to give a paper about the SSC on April
27th. Talk is about ownership. "The University is ours." There will be a
writing workshop at Sarah's on Monday 16th, 6.30pm. RSVP. <BR>> <BR>>
