I started my teacher training in 1991, just as the National Curriculum came into life.
I now find myself a parent, involved with local schools, and very much part of the education sector in the UK – feeling the wind of change pick up with a review of our current National Curriculum.
Will this review reflect my beliefs and what I want for my kids – and my community?
Unless I contribute positively, I cannot complain – so… tonight I will be faciliating dicussions at an event held in Oxford – hosted by Pearson and BrainPOP UK.
I am excited by all the discussion and activism around education at the moment – especially http://purposed.org.uk/ – and hope that we can use the opportunity Gove has given us to take local control – to guide education for the benefit of our kids and the world we want them to live in.
To hear someone much smarter and inspirational than me, I cannot do better than Sir Ken Robinson
