Hi all,
I hope you all had a lovely break (it isn't over yet of course!)
This is a fantastic video which questions how we can learn, how we can be taught and raises many different questions about our own psyche perhaps.
Collaborative learning works well, sharing ideas and thinking differently works. I too believe in students and their capacity to learn, be creative, be evaluative and have an equal voice. That to me is important in my style of teaching. Reflection and being a reflective practitioner comes naturally to me. Yet we know there are many ways to teach, learn and assess.
The Finnish education system works. And addressing different ways to approach an assessment, well that works too.
On another note, it actually reminded me of my dad who was a well respected Music teacher for many years and how he viewed the curriculum. I'll leave that to one of his star pupils, arguably one of Scotland's finest female writers, to describe that. There's a wee link to an article from Janice Galloway at the bottom of this post.
If you have any comments on the video or the newspaper article, please note them below as I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mark
