Last November, I posted a comment on a Birmingham seminar: Children, their World, their Education, which was hosted by TIDE. Seminar discussions raised questions about:
- The aims and purposes of education – what do we make of the new Sustainable Development Goals for education? Are they sufficient?
- Curriculum – the national, local and ‘hidden’ curricula; the role of teachers as curriculum makers
- Pedagogy – that values learners’ agency, makes connections and responds to the complexity of the issues
- Systems and structures – and their fitness to aims
- Monitoring, evaluating and assessment – for learning, teaching and accountability
- Agency of teachers, learners and citizens – and the capacity for change
The report includes Robin Alexander's slides, a link to the DEEEP work on indicators, two personal comments from participants, and links to blogs at SEEd, CPRT, and to to this site.
The report has now been published.
