- Summary:
-
This report presents results of a study in the United Kingdom to explore different understandings of outreach, its role in widening participation among people underrepresented in organized education, implications of doing outreach, and practical and ethical considerations involved. Chapter 1 addresses origins and meanings of outreach, including definitions, negative connotations, reasons for doing outreach, and outreach and disadvantaged communities. Chapter 2 identifies models of outreach approaches used in different education sectors. It outlines examples in further and higher education; local authorities; voluntary organizations; and public services. Chapter 3 focuses on implications of doing outreach, including its association with the concept of disadvantage, targeting, networking with other agencies, interagency partnerships, identifying community needs, responding to identified needs, changing institutional practice, and outreach settings. Chapter 4 examines skills staff need and these related issues: making the right contacts, working with community gatekeepers, staff recruitment, professional standing and status, staff development, and training local people. Chapter 5, on funding outreach, discusses investment of time, post-funding sustainability, and capacity-building. Chapter 6, on returns on investment, discusses evaluation of activities, evaluation methods, benefits in relation to costs, impact, and need for a broad view of outcomes. Chapter 7 draws conclusions. (Contains 86 references.) (YLB)
