Achievement-Based Resourcing.
Fletcher, Mike; And Others
Coombe Lodge Report, v23 n3 1992
This collection of seven articles examines achievement-based resourcing (ABR), the concept that the funding of educational institutions should be linked to their success in promoting student achievement, with a focus on the application of ABR to postsecondary education in the United Kingdom. The articles include: (1) "Introduction" (Mick Fletcher), which discusses the current shortcomings and possible future directions of ABR; (2) "Achievement-Based Resourcing: Purpose and Prospects" (Richard Gorringe), which examines ABR in the context of the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992 and other national developments; (3) "A Credit-Based Resource Model for Further Education" (Peter Wilson), which outlines a credit-based model of postsecondary education designed to widen access, improve quality, and increase flexibility; (4) "Resourcing Tomorrow's College" (Mike Field), which examines several methods for the funding of postsecondary education; (5) "Are We Really Considering the Customers?" (Tony Webb), which examines the case for extending the training credits initiative to cover full-time postsecondary education; (6) "Achievement-Based Resourcing" (Lindsay Martin), which looks at the use of output-related funding by the Department of Employment; and (7) "Achievement-Based Resourcing: A College Manager's View" (Jenny Shackleton), which discusses the implementation of an ABR approach at Wirral Metropolitan College.
