Leadership: I will *not* expect my followers to work for me and I will *not* expect to be working for my leaders. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Curiosity: I will *not* settle for being permanently incurious, either because I think I cannot learn or because I think I already know everything with certainty. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Personhood: I will *not* treat others as merely brains, exchanging knowledge, and ignoring the rest of their personhood. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Dialogue: I will *not* ignore what other people say, simply because their views are different to mine, and I will *not* try to win every argument simply for the sake of winning. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Community: I will *not* treat people only as means to other ends – such as treating people merely as paid helpers or as merely ways to help with my own academic or career success. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Care: I will *not* accept uncaring people without trying to work out why they are uncaring and, if possible, help them to care more. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Politics 2/2: The school I would like will *not* deal with fear by allowing an authority figure (within or beyond the school) to make all the decisions and to maintain power by instilling a fear of disobedience. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Politics 1/2: The school I would like will *not* accept individualist competitiveness to such an extent that the school is dominated by fear. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Curriculum: The school I would like will *not* accept divisions as permanent, and will *not* overcome divisions with such completeness as to create a unity that is damaging. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Sustainability: The school I would like will *not* merely be a repository of the past, it will *not* merely be a meeting of current needs, and it will not merely be a preparation for the future. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Leadership: The school I would like will *not* be one in which leaders expect followers to work for them, or in which followership means working for leaders inside or outside the school. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Curiosity: The school I would like will *not* be one in which people are left incurious, either because it is assumed that they cannot learn or that they already know everything with certainty. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Personhood: The school I would like will *not* be one in which people treat others as merely (teaching or learning) brains, exchanging knowledge, and ignoring the rest of personhood. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Dialogue: The school I would like will *not* be one where people say what they think but do not listen to what other people think or believe that others with differing views should simply be dismissed. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Community: The school I would like will *not* be unfriendly or allow enmity and bullying to go unchallenged – whether between or amongst adults or pupils. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Care: The school I would like will *not* care more about exam results and what inspectors or league tables say about the school than it cares about me. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Politics: Sometimes there are good reasons to be fearful and pessimistic, which may lead to defensiveness, but people in school should be prepared to face those fearful situations rather than ignore or hide from them #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Curriculum: The overall movement towards overcoming division in the curriculum will never be complete: it may involve protecting some divisions in order to protect individuality and to help overcome divisions in the future. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Sustainability: Sometimes people learn well at home and in other places that are not schools; I’ll help schools learn from such alternatives and will help such alternatives learn from schools. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

[Care&CuriosityinCommunity 2018 @2018Care]

Leadership: Sometimes I’m expected to ‘perform’ for people in ways that distract from my responsibility for leading people or learning: I’ll aim to prioritise the leadership of people and learning for which I’m responsible. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity
