Aside from the hilarious picture, the creative thinking displayed here is impressive – there are a certainly number of ideas that could be utilised in other industries apart form teaching – very valuable indeed. Thx

Comment on Session 114 – How can we create a curriculum where all subjects are valued equally? by Teacher's Notes

Teacher's Notes — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:42:50 +0000

What is the premise of the question. When you say “valued equally” do you mean, valued by governments, parents, schools, academics or students and pupils?

I think we would do better to recognise that differing people have differing values. In my own education I didn’t value science at all but was passionate about literature. I ending up doing very well out my education as I was able to focus on my strengths in a way that would not have happened had I not been able to value one part of my curriculum more than another.

Unfortunately for those tweeting that school-based ITE is best, this is not supported by any evidence. However there is considerable evidence to the contrary…

The countries which have ITE firmly based in universities are also the countries which have the best education systems and the highest scores on PISA; Finland has 6 years university-based teacher training, and South Korea 2 and a half. France has just moved from a school-based model to a university-based model because the school-based model was not delivering high enough quality teachers.
