“…no secretary of state would ever tell the medical profession what to do (…) but people seem to be able to tell us as teachers what to do…”
“… in everything, collaboration is the key (…) there’s a lot of transparency, if we are going to transform our system, we’ve got to have students as leaders in schools and co-constructors, must be active participants, we’ve got schools as researchers, we have students in governing bodies, we have students who help plan projects… “
“… some things a non-negotiable and a part of that should be the expectation to student when they complete school (…) should be what is right for that youngster, the wider things of what they should achieve, as problem-solvers, thinkers, innovators…”
Martin Robinson
From Martin Robinson to whom I have referred before on several occasions. (The truth is that the entire presentation is actually a quote. Picking anything out is like presenting the amputated finger and saying “behold the man!”, so I just picked a random one …)
“Research the question before you tell us what the answer is…”
Someone mentioned on twitter related to the UEA RE conference Alan Brine’s challenge to “question the answer” – but Robinson is roving that plane above the plane here, just under Lawson the Heideggerian Don’t question the answer, question the question… (see P4C? No, P4U)
I have mentioned his Destructive Why before, without properly ascribing it to the author, who was a great inspiration for the nihilism aspect of the workshop framework. His book 21c Trivium is MUST READ. I have already outlined why his book is a remedy for all society’s ills in What comes out of the Birmingham “Trojan Horse”?
