The question of what going to school means for today's pupils - what studying or resisting study means for them - is the question which now confronts those schools which are #choosingknowledge2018 https://t.co/e02U93EdrA
@stickyphysics everyone seems to be quite nervous of engaging with your Charlot-inspired point - a sociological imagination is required! #choosingknowledge2018
#choosingknowledge2018 @HeatherBellaF makes important point about the knowledge needed to read the canon including the @Doug_Lemov argument that we must expose pupils to pre-complex texts such as Narnia stories.
How to get students to read the canon? 'Stir them with their own taste to get them into the conversation - make them feel like they’re missing out on something.' @Trivium21c #ChoosingKnowledge2018
#ChoosingKnowledge2018 @Trivium21c argues modern texts should be in the canon if high quality so that pupils are fully in debate about what 'good literature' is & provides model for own work. @eclectictrains proposes a 50 year rule before work deserves place in canon.
"I'm interested in the what questions not the how" says @eclectictrains & describes how the English canon is a not a fixed idea but a discussion. And this is THE discussion I want all English teachers to be having. #choosingknowledge2018
@lehain @ClareSealy Amelia's talk was fabulous! I agree the hand gesture thingies might get somewhat lost in a written paper, but maybe @ofstednews could do a video? Really thought-provoking start to great #ChoosingKnowledge2018 event.
Interesting discussion about whether we should consider breadth of languages to be taught because of access to a wider canon of literature and culture beyond the West. Does Latin hold a more important place in the curriculum? @CaraBleiman #choosingknowledge2018
*On adding art to STEM*
“How can a picture of a pot plant sit on the same tier of some of the scientific breakthroughs and discoveries that have been made.”
#choosingknowledge2018
From @CaraBleiman: The position of languages on the curriculum is so precarious that teachers of Mandarin and Latin should find common cause to justify their position on the timetable #ChoosingKnowledge2018
‘STEM has been a disaster; just teach the subjects ‘ #ChoosingKnowledge2018
Monika is right to bring up the question of how consider those with different interests in a discipline - someone wanting to pursue a PhD in Physics has quite different ideas about the discipline as opposed to someone happy with their A level in it! #ChoosingKnowledge2018
Subject communities are essential here - both for developing thoughtful curricula and to build subject knowledge so every teacher becomes able to contribute. #choosingknowledge2018 https://t.co/PwfYMVDYj4
Lack of subject expertise in Maths means we should be more pragmatic and look to buying in resources/successful curricula says @lehain #choosingknowledge2018
Argument from @DrHelenDrury that we spend too much CPD time on developing arguments about education in name of autonomy rather than being more prescriptive which would provide more time to help teachers become better at subject teaching. #ChoosingKnowledge2018
Specialists in maths should be encouraged to work in primary @EmathsUK and the heavy-lifting of maths teaching happens at primary @lehain #ChoosingKnowledge2018
We should be putting our greatest Maths specialists into primary. That's where we can make the most difference. @EmathsUK @lehain #ChoosingKnowledge2018
Lack of subject expertise in Maths means we should be more pragmatic and look to buying in resources/successful curricula says @lehain #choosingknowledge2018
Time for our 'Maths: Singapore, Shanghai, or Bromley-by-Bow?' panel with @lehain @EmathsUK @DrHelenDrury and Hussain Ali, head of Maths at ELSS. #ChoosingKnowledge2018
I sense some Bernstein in what @ASCphiled is saying - knowledge creation and transmission does indeed follow patterns of abstraction. But, how far do we actually understand this ? #ChoosingKnowledge2018
