@teacherofdesign Glad to hear that you found it already! As a DT teacher who is also teaching Food Preparation & Nutrition, it certainly was a timely read for me as I get my head around what this means to teach in the kitchen!

[John Stather @john_stather]

@teacherofdesign Hi Claire, great chat tonight on the #talkingDt book club! Thought this may be of use for you in your research.

Can a good teacher teach any subject? Not really. Expert teachers have highly specialised skills. In fact, even if they're teaching the *same* subject, a lack of domain-specific knowledge will limit effectiveness. Revisiting Berliner's seminal work on expert teaching⬇️

@hardy_alison @Counsell_C @matt_n_mclain @sdsdavies What book is this in Alison?

[Dr Adnan Bayyat @AdnanBayyat]

Valid points raised concerning D&T curriculum. I’d add the trivialisation of specialist manual disciplines, histories, and skills; the functionalist reduction of the creative/design process.

[John Stather @john_stather]

@DavidRobertsDT Sure. Would be great to catch up. Been far too long! Love to hear what you've been up to over the past... decade.

[Amanda Mason @MrsM2019]

Enjoyed reading and discussing a chapter from @hardy_alison latest book, Debates in Design and Technology. In Monday’s D&T book club, (@teacherofdesign ), we discussed cognitive theories linked to Design and Technology, a very thought provoking read and chat

@MrsGMcLeanDT You're very lucky that you're working with @DavidRobertsDT. He knows a thing or two about DT! Thanks for the offer of support. Most apricated!
