About the CPD course
This Oxplore Teach module looks at research into young people from backgrounds of socio-economic disadvantage who went on to become high attainers at secondary school. Studies show that some of the factors that enabled them to succeed and thrive in education include high academic self-concept; self-efficacy and access to cultural capital. This module suggests ways in which teachers and other educators can support pupils to access these protective factors; including through free Oxplore Challenge activities.
