Make your voice heard in the DfE review of curriculum & assessment! The panel want to hear from a wide range of people including teachers, students & parents - what's working and what isn't.

Here's some summer reading from our colleagues in the West End...

[WEST @WestEndSchools]

We are delighted to share our WEST newsletter 2023-24. We have had an incredible year together. ♥️

[Education International @eduint]

🆕 New research by @AnjaGiudici and @LucasCone3 shows how privatisation and funding shortfalls are affecting education support personnel.

⚠️ Working in public education is increasingly unattractive. Quality education is at risk!

It seems you can take @PamWoolner out of CfLaT but you can't take the CfLaT out of Pam - this looks like a distinctly CfLaT style workshop with @PaulaCardellino

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

Lots of 'talking about pictures' (thanks, Doug Harper!) at the Visually Mediated Research course we ran last week for @DtpNine - thanks to all the participants for your ideas and insights. Hope your doctoral research continues to go well!

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

Funded by the DfE, CfLaT's Pam Woolner worked with @OpenLab_Ncl to develop digital tech ways to collect school students' views. They trialled an online questionnaire, PosterVote (pictured) and QR codes to start conversations about places around the schools.

CfLaT member, Debbie Ralls, and our occasional research partner, Rosie Parnell, are both contributing to a really interesting (and free!) City Forum event this Thursday (7 March). More info and sign-up here:  https://t.co/2Yo0drWL2M

Gabriela Heck, our 2023 CfLaT research visitor from Brazil, worked with the Great North Museum on inclusion, museum space and science capital. The research she completed at GNM has just been published in conference proceedings : https://t.co/yN1WMiXRXN (page 21-28).

CfLaT's Pam W has been in Belgium for an art and architecture exhibition of school space, taking part in the connected symposium addressing classrooms. Are they obsolete or strangely enduring (or perhaps both..?)?

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

Glad you find it so useful and sorry not to have you there. See you next time!

[Dr Jo Hume @cooolforcats]

I’m very sorry that I have to miss this event. It is an excellent hub that brings outdoor researchers and research-practitioners together 🌿

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

The next North East Outdoor Learning Research Hub meeting will take place on Wednesday 14th February 4:30-6pm at Newcastle University. If you would like to attend or connect with the Hub, contact: [email protected]

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

Join us for a Research Tea tomorrow! 7 Feb 3.30-4.45pm: 'Climate justice education - student and teacher perceptions, and sharing resources' with
Dr Catherine Walker, NUAcT Fellow, Geography @NCL_Geography We'll be in King George VI Building, Newcastle Uni, B83. All welcome!

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

What an interesting blog...

@kirstin_barr @kate_wall98 Feel free to get in touch.

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

CfLaT's @PamWoolner is talking school buildings tomorrow @NCLsocsciences @secls

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

We agree! If you want to hear much more nuanced (and interesting) ideas about curriculum, including the Scottish C for E, Prof Priestley's keynote at ECER2023 in Glasgow @ECER_EERA is well worth watching - https://t.co/7NHLlfxsl5

[NCL CFLAT @cflat4change]

Thanks for telling us all about the Nordic countries @PamWoolner - you can stop now!

[WEST @WestEndSchools]

Our @WestEndSchools council discussed how small acts of kindness can spread peace in our community. The pupils collectively decided to follow the idea of @HelpPicture and make a peace chain. We look forward to sharing this initiative across our community.
