There are many accounts of consumer directed care (CDC )in England. Some focus on its ambitions, some on its achievements, some on its problems and some on its experiences. A series of 'myths' is being constructed around all four of these dimensions. Professor Jill Manthorpe from the Social Care Workforce Research Unit at King's College London, who has undertaken several studies of this subject over the past decade in both England and Scotland, tackles some of these myths and sets out a few mysteries for participants to solve.

Sydney Ideas co-presented with the Institute of Open Adoption Studies, School of Education and Social Work Join us for a panel discussion to explore the complex issue of contact in the context of open adoption. Adoption is one of the pathways for those children and requires individuals with capacity, sensitivity, and commitment to raise children through open adoption. Part of this openness is realised through adoption related conversation and exchange of information between adoptees, their adoptive parents and their birth families, to enable a child to understand their biological/familial history and the circumstances of their adoption. International research demonstrates that access to knowledge about their history and the circumstances of their adoption is important for children's ability to form a healthy and positive identity – including their identity as an adopted person. Supporting contact that is in the best interest of children is a pressing consideration for contemporary adoption practices in NSW. Chaired by Associate Professor Amy Conley Wright, Director of the Institute of Open Adoption Studies at the University of Sydney SPEAKERS: - Professor Elsbeth Neil, Professor of Social Work, University of East Anglia - Helmut Uhlmann - Lynne Moggach, Executive Specialist Adoption, Barnardos Australia - Philippa Welman, Director Child Safety & Permanency, Department of Family & Community Services Held as part of Sydney Ideas on 31 August 2017: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2017/ESW_deans_lecture_series.shtml
The challenges that face schools are not simple but there are local, national and international models that may provide some pathways to changing school learning and teaching practices, leadership and governance. This panel considers how schools and schooling can benefit from new models and approaches to learning. They draw on international experience, emergent models (such as the 4Cs) and discuss the role of technology in enabling and potentially impeding learning. Speakers: Professor Michael Anderson, School of Education and Social Work; Mrs Robyn Evans principal, Casula Public School; Dr Miranda Jefferson , Teaching Educator, Catholic Education Office Parramatta; Mr Greg Whitby, Executive Director of Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta; Dr Phil Lambert PSM (panel chair.

The educational landscape today is marked by numerous texts for teachers that identify ‘what works’ in the classroom and ‘best practices’ for bolstering student achievement in different subjects. Although these guides may provide valuable information for educators, they frequently ignore a central imperative of critical studies in education to situate educational knowledge within the contexts in which it is produced. This lecture by Professor Frances Vavrus (Program in Comparative and International Development Education at the University of Minnesota) draws upon research at the intersection of postcolonial studies, anthropology of education, and global and comparative education to address a vital question: How do different epistemologies and material conditions of teaching affect educators’ conceptions of ‘good teaching’ and its potential enactment in their schools?

At 35 years of age Dr Marjorie Aunos had made a name for herself nationally and internationally as a leading practitioner-researcher and advocate for parents with intellectual disabilities. In her own words, “life was good”; she was doing what she loved especially her new role as a mother to her 18 month old son. On the 5th of January 2012, on her way to work, Marjorie’s life took a sharp turn. Her car slipped on ice and collided with an oncoming truck. She was left with paraplegia. In this lecture Marjorie will share the experience of moving from being an “outsider” to an “insider” as a disability practitioner-researcher and the lessons learnt (thus far). SPEAKER: Marjorie Aunos, adjunct professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal and Brock University Part of the Faculty of Education and Social Work Dean’s Lecture Series, which provides an opportunity to hear internationally renowned experts as they contribute to the debates and discussions in education, social work and social policy.

There is now almost universal recognition around the world that 'teaching matters' and that the quality of teaching is crucial in social and economic development. However, there has been remarkably little change in the ways in which teachers' work is constructed and the ways in which teachers are educated for a lifetime of preparing young people for their future worlds. In this talk Ian Menter reflects on debates about the nature of teaching and teacher education in order to challenge much of the dominant thinking, suggesting that such thinking is often driven by ideology and prejudice rather than by careful deliberation or by the use of research evidence. His conclusion is that there are important underlying values that can be traced through the history of teaching which may now be more important than ever, but that the ways in which these values are embodied in the work of contemporary teachers are in need of major reconsideration. This lecture was a part of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Education and Social Work Dean’s Lecture Series which provides an opportunity to hear internationally renowned experts as they contribute to the debates and discussions in education, social work and social policy.
