In England, we've seen the rise of an orthodoxy in education over 10-20 years. Hyper-accountability, marketisation, a narrowing of learning, and learning as the servant of the market. It's time we worked to develop a coherent, more holistic heterodox perspective, such as has happened in economics

The ATEE winter conference in Braga has been a reminder (again) of the dynamic, deliberate and powerful relationship between research and practice in teacher education (initial & in-service) that is present in much of Europe. And a reminder that the English policy context is inexplicable.

You know I see way more talk in education about memory than I do about child development. If people want to make teaching more like a science, how about actually taking child development seriously? 🤷‍♀️

We now appear to accept that many adults & young people actively resist going to school (recruitment, retention, attendance crises are coinciding). Perhaps the DfE & society need to rethink what kinds of communities schools can be. Because what we’ve got isn’t working anymore.
