poetry

Poem for Everyman I will present you parts of my self slowly if you are patient and tender. I will open drawers that mostly stay closed and bring out places and people and things sounds and smells, loves and frustrations, hopes and sadness, bits and pieces of three decades of life that have been grabbed off in chunks and found lying in my hands. they have eaten their way into my memory, carved their way into my heart. altogether- you or I will never see them - they are me. If you regard them lightly, deny they are important or worse judge them I will quietly, slowly, begin to wrap them up, in small pieces of velvet, like worn silver and gold jewellery, tuck them away in a small wooden chest of drawers and close. John Wood

Freire

There is no such thing as a neutral education process There is no such thing as a neutral education process. Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the ‘practice of freedom’, the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world. Jane Thompson, 1999, Gramsci, Freire, and Adult Education: Possibilities for Transformative Action, by Peter Mayo, Macmillan. Page 5

Pedagogy of the Oppressed Start with what the students love Understand that they must want to learn Teacher learns from the students

Other Pedagogies for Teaching Traditional Progressivist Postmodern Progressive all contribute to today’s pedagogy

Petrus Ramus Classical canon Great Men of History Christianity Pedagogical Spaces 1: Traditional Petrus Ramus Classical canon Great Men of History Christianity Knowledge in books . 16th century Frech shcolar invented the education system of today - took it away form the 1:1 philosopher and guide to printed text books that Shakespeare would have had knowledge taken away from sounds and into books. It was a mater of learning all techniques for writing or division or biology or enything in Ong’s words, dissecting and dividing down, taking apart and this is what happened to literature. Behind I is an ideology that nly men are great, that only certain books are worthwhile and there is one God and the king is on his throne.

The Enlightenment Pedagogical Spaces 1: Traditional Renee Descartes It follows a peculiar way of looking at the world which tok hold and is still with us today. Renee Descartes was a philoshopher who summed up the prevalent thought in the early 17th century. He was the one who gaveus cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. He also gave us a way of thinking dependent on rules - that if something happens we can find a reason for it and create a rule and then we can make it or stop it happening again. Before this, there were sprits, God, ilnesses were called by vapours. There was a whole other condition of living which there still is in pre-industrial parts of the world today about respect for ancestors, culture, tradition. The Enlightnemnet swept this away in a cloud of logic and it is on this that the West is based and it might be seen that its success starts with this philosophy. GET SHEET ON THE ENLIGHTNEMENT PRINTED AND GO OVER

Institutionalised Mass schooling Rigid systems Pedagogical Spaces 1: Traditional Institutionalised Mass schooling Rigid systems

Pedagogical Spaces 1: Traditional The ‘iron cages’ of rationalisation This is the time of modernism. Max Weber’s ideas have the birth of modernity as the separation between family and business. IRON CAGES MCDONALDS IKEA Max Weber (1846-1920)

Testing John Holt – ‘How Children Fail’ ‘Most children in school fail’ Pedagogical Spaces 1: Traditional Testing John Holt – ‘How Children Fail’ ‘Most children in school fail’ (Holt, 1990: foreword)

‘Nobody starts off stupid…what happens , as we get older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed…We destroy this capacity above all by making afraid, afraid of being wrong…afraid to gamble, afraid to experiment, afraid to try the difficult and the unknown …We destroy the … love of learning in children…by encouraging and compelling them to work for petty and contemptible rewards – gold stars or papers marked 100 and tacked to the wall or As in report cards…We encourage them to feel that the end and aim of all they do in school is nothing more than to get a good mark on a test’ (Holt, 1990: pp.273-4)

Pedagogical Space 2: Progressivist John Dewey Maria Montessori

Pedagogical Space 2: Progressivist John Dewey 1900 ‘To imposition from above is opposed expression and cultivation of individuality; to external discipline is opposed free activity; to learning from teachers, learning through experience; to acquisition of isolated skills and techniques by drill is opposed acquisition of them as means of attaining ends which make direct appeal; to preparation for a more or less remote future is opposed to making the most of the opportunities of present life; to static aims and materials is opposed acquaintance with a changing world’ cited in Katzinger and Cross, 1993: pp45-6

Pedagogical Space 2: Progressivist John Dewey ‘Textbooks and lectures give the result of other men’s discoveries, and thus seem to provide a short cut to knowledge; but the outcome is just a meaningless reflecting back of symbols with no understanding of the facts themselves’ Dewey and Dewey 1915 cited in Cross and Katzinger, 1993: p.46 To Steiner schools and sumerhill

Pedagogical Space 2: Progressivist John Dewey (At school children should learn to be) ‘cooks, seamstresses, or carpenters.’ cited in Katzinger and Cross, 1993: p.45

Progressive Pedagogy as Ideology Pedagogical Space 2: Progressivist Progressive Pedagogy as Ideology The idea of progress Standard English was to be the conclusion Correct acquisition served an industrial purpose ‘Motivated student activity was a pedagogical tool in the interest of progress and modernity and these cultural assumptions were as powerfully singular as those of the traditional curriculum of a classical canon, even to the point of sharing some of the same objectives - correct grammar, for example - albeit objectives that were now to be achieved by a different means’ Cross and Katzinger, 1993: p.47 In other words here done in a related wayas an outgrowth of the child -rogani. Dewey also wanted to erase cultual difference and the curriculum gav singluarity c

Pedagogical Space 3: The Progressivist Pedagogy of Postmodernism difference discontinuity cultural fragmentation linguistic fragmentation ‘the postmodernists pronounce the end of history; the decadence of grand metanarratives…the demise of progress’ Cross and Katzinger, 1993: p.48

Pedagogical Space 3: The Progressivist Pedagogy of Postmodernism High Windows When I see a couple of kids And guess he's fucking her and she's Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm, I know this is paradise Everyone old has dreamed of all their lives-- Bonds and gestures pushed to one side Like an outdated combine harvester, And everyone young going down the long slide To happiness, endlessly. I wonder if Anyone looked at me, forty years back, And thought, That'll be the life; No God any more, or sweating in the dark About hell and that, or having to hide What you think of the priest. He And his lot will all go down the long slide Like free bloody birds. And immediately Rather than words comes the thought of high windows: The sun-comprehending glass, And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless. Philip Larkin Post-modernism is a theory. The people who write about it, though do not have any real agreement,. It is in a sense, a philosophy and one you can get hold of again and critique. You can consider how true you think it is. Just as Foucault is best described to me by God and angels. So poetry brings the subject up of the death of God as here in Philip Larkin’s High Windows READ

The reasons why this incredulity crept in are, like philosophy up for debate but multinational firms are either a response to the changes ie they crept in because the nation state declined in power and could not put up a fight against them. Which of us wants to rail against McDonalds in a way, I suspect before the war we would have had a yanks go home attitude and stuck to our roast beef. It also could be a contributor, particularly the multinational media firms which bring their images and the different global ways of interpreting relaity which undermines our own.

Pedagogical Space 3: The Progressivist Pedagogy of Postmodernism humans are active meaning makers no universal meaning - polysemic no privileged discourses the death of the author a curriculum relevant to experience power to marginalised discourses e.g. Creole Language is ‘a system of signs structured in the infinite play of difference’ Aronwitz and Giroux, 1991: p.13 cited in Cross and Katzinger, 1993: p.50

Where are we now?

“unashamedly elitist” From 2010 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/jul/22/michael-gove-legacy-education-secretary

National Curriculum 2014 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2010-to-2015-government-policy-school-and-college-qualifications-and-curriculum/2010-to-2015-government-policy-school-and-college-qualifications-and-curriculum Employers, universities and colleges are often dissatisfied with school leavers’ literacy and numeracy even though the proportion of young people achieving good grades has gone up in recent years. We believe making GCSEs and A levels more rigorous will prepare students properly for life after school. It is also necessary to introduce a curriculum that gives individual schools and teachers greater freedom to teach in the way they know works and that ensures that all pupils acquire a core of essential knowledge in English, mathematics and sciences.

Multi-academy trusts “At the heart of our plan for education is our commitment to supporting schools to be in the driving seat of school improvement and professional development, working together to spread best practice, knowledge and experience. We know that many of our best leaders believe strongly in a school-led approach to improvement and are already working to achieve it.

Reflective writing and professional portfolios

What is in reflection?

Learning Outcomes Understand what the purpose of the portfolio is Greater understanding of what it means to reflect

Learning Outcome By the end of this session you should have greater understanding of the ways of developing your reflective writing with particular reference to your Portfolio assessment. This is also good practice, to make sure everyone knows what the intention is. In this case, the session is designed to help you to improve your final reflective assignment by showing you the sources of information which can help you to develop as a teacher.

Why do we need to reflect?

Because we don’t know ourselves fully

The Choosing We were first equal Mary and I with the same coloured ribbons in mouse-coloured hair, and with equal shyness we curtseyed to the lady councillor for copies of Collins’s Children Classics. First equal, equally proud. Best friends too Mary and I a common bond in being cleverest(equal) in our small school’s small class. I remember the competition for top desk or to read aloud the lesson at school service. And my terrible fear of her superiority at sums. I remember the housing scheme Where we both stayed. The same house, different homes, where the choices were made. I don’t know exactly why they moved, but anyway they went. Something about a three-apartment and a cheaper rent. But from the top deck of the high school bus I’d glimpse among the others on the corner Mary’s father, mufflered, contrasting strangely with the elegant greyhounds by his side. He didn’t believe in high school education, especially for girls, or in forking out for uniforms. Ten years later on a Saturday- I am coming home from the library- sitting near me on the bus, Mary with a husband who is tall, curly haired, has eyes for no one else but Mary. Her arms are round the full-shaped vase that is her body. Oh, you can see where the attraction lies in Mary’s life- not that I envy her, really. And I am coming from the library with my arms full of books. I think of the prizes that were ours for the taking and wonder when the choices got made we don’t remember making. Liz Lochhead

Because we don’t realise the external factors which constrain us

4. to ground teachers emotionally; For Brookfield, critical reflection is important for some of the following reasons:   1.    to increase the probability that teachers will take informed actions – those that can be explained and justified to self and others; 2.       to enable  teachers to provide a rationale behind their practice which  can be crucial to establishing credibility with student; 3.       to avoid self-laceration - believing that the teacher is to blame if students are not learning; 4.       to ground teachers emotionally; 5.       to enliven the classroom by making it challenging, interesting and stimulating for students; 6.       to increase democratic trust as a result of the examples and modeling conveyed by the teacher, thereby allowing students to learn democratic behaviour and a moral tone. These are reasons why we reflect. Someone once said to me – so it’s just to make us feel better then, in a rather negative way and I thought that if that is all it does then it is something. Teacher can be too hard on ourselves. Appraisal is often blaming ourselves when it may not have been our fault. Reflection does more than this as you can see from the list. You may not agree with everything here but some should ‘strike home’ as an important weapon in the teacher armoury.

Critical dialogic reflection What is reflection? Descriptive writing Descriptive reflection Dialogic reflection Critical dialogic reflection

1. Descriptive writing: what happened 2. Descriptive Reflection: consideration of what happened 3. Dialogic Reflection: shows awareness of self and role; examination of qualities of judgements; gives alternative explanations of events; is analytical; is integrative, links factors and perspectives; is deliberative; is cognitive; is multi-narrative, weighs competing claims and viewpoints; has contextual awareness; explores alternative solutions; is social reconstructionist 4. Critical Dialogic Reflection: integrates theory into dialogic reflection Adapted from Hatton and Smith 1995

Reflexive practice involves thinking more critically about themselves, their assumptions, actions, and situations they encounter; to see multiple interpretations and constructions of reality (Cunliffe, 2004 pp 407-426) http://www.eten-online.org/img/publications/ETEN%2017%20proceedings.pdf#page=135

Brookfield (1995) US STUDENTS THEORY COLLEAGUES

the component of emotional Lens One US Self talk the component of emotional intelligence that frees us from being a prisoner of our own feelings. Goleman (2002, p.57)

Lens 2 Others There is another way of seeing things differently – others. Think of the blind part of the Johari window – they know things about us we don’t. Why not ask them? Ask about how they think we are doing and what we could do differently. They may be wrong, but at least we are opening ourselves up to thinking differently.

Lens 3: Theory Having books and journal articles with us lets us access some of the best teacher in the world. Those who have been successful and been through what you have, have written it down. Read. Learn from the experts. Better still, negotiate with theory – do you agree? Are there better approaches. The more you read, the more you will see that there is no simple answer but there are answers. There is no simple student, no simple teacher, no simple critical incident. It may take a few ‘shots’ to get it right but theory gives you another ‘shot’.

Structuring your views Brookfield (1995) US THEORY Structuring your views PEERS These are four of sources we can use. Have a look at them and consider how each one can bring a unique perspective onto a situation. In the case of this session, we are going to view ‘critical incidents’. These are moments in your teaching practice which have made you consider whether you stop and think – moments when potentially you learnt something new about yourself and your professional practice. The lens idea is a metaphor – we view things differently through lenses and each one helps us to see an incident differently. We have to be aware that we see matters in only one way and someone else will do so differently. A lesson we think went well, a student may have been upset by, or not learnt from and vice versa. Colleagues – and as a trainee teacher, particularly experienced ones like mentors – can also help you to see an event differently. For example, someone else may be a lot more charitable about your ‘mistakes’ understanding that you are learning and need to make them to develop. Sometimes teachers are afraid to get student views. This is a shame. What are we scared of – that they might be negative? The student has a right to be heard and can help us to change our lessons. In the end her/his learning is paramount not our teaching so listen to your students. Theory is like having an expert always with you. The writers have been where you are and have read around the subject of teaching as well so can give you an overview. We should always use theory as another ‘voice’ to help us to become better teachers. EXPERTS

I think teachers should be a little bit barmy and dance and not just sit down and drink tea and coffee.  Kirsty, 10. To make a good school I would say you need trust. Trust between a student and a teacher, between students, between teachers, and the whole school. You need fairness; teachers shouldn’t show favouritism, they should keep it inside; and students should be expected to behave in lessons and get good treatment back.  Natasha, 12.   We would only have the teachers who knew and understood what they were talking about; they would all be passionate about their subjects and help us to unleash our passions.  Maisie, 14. I think we should have a ‘teach the teacher’ day. We can teach the teacher how it feels to be a kid and see how hard and fast we have to do our work and so WE can set the standard.  Jonathan, 10.     I don’t understand why teachers ask so many questions. It seems to me that it is the learner that should ask the questions. Give us the freedom to ask questions and do us the courtesy of helping us find answers. Joy, 14. Teachers should be under 49.  Sophie, 9. The teachers are all nice but when the children are bored the teachers get cross.  Amber, 5. Hay McBer Report 2000

  A good teacher . . . is kind is generous listens to you encourages you has faith in you keeps confidences likes teaching children likes teaching their subject takes time to explain things helps you when you're stuck tells you how you are doing allows you to have your say doesn't give up on you cares for your opinion makes you feel clever treats people equally stands up for you makes allowances tells the truth is forgiving.    Descriptions by Year 8 pupils Hay McBer Report 2000

Antecedents - behaviour - consequences McNamara Stimulus to bad behaviour eg pupil – teacher; Setting factors eg seating arrangements Curriculum eg content, delivery Organisation eg sanction systems Antecedents - behaviour - consequences

Consequences ‘in summary, in addition to consequences, the other major determinants of behaviour, i.e. What happens immediately before (stimulus conditions); the classroom situation (setting factors); what is being asked of the pupils (curriculum content, structure and delivery), and organisational factors such as the composition of the class (e.g. Mixed ability or set). Thus if pupil behaviour (B), its antecedent (A), and significant consequences (C) are assessed, an analysis of pupil behaviour can be pursued’ (McNamara, 2000: 7) Critique functional analysis

Criticism – functionalist, positivist

RPI Rules Rules Rules, praise and ignore Masden et al (1968) Few in number Simple Described positively Consistent with school policy

To ask yourself: What are the rules of your classroom? Were the pupils involved in the rules? What strategies have you to promote compliance? What strategies to redirect noncompliance? Strategies to avoid ‘criticism trap’ Critique - rules are there to be broken

Becker et al (1975) ‘Thus, while there is an immediate cessation of the behaviour, in a longer time the behaviour occurs more frequently. This analysis explains why some teachers persist in using negative control techniques when they patently ‘don’t work’’ (cited in McNamara, 2000: 13)

Transactional Theory Eric Berne Strokes = from positive words to full personal commitment. From ‘great job’ to ‘I love you’ Negative strokes are better than nothing David don’t do that. David stop this

From criticism to cooperation ‘The traditional model of classroom control incorporates the teacher as controller and the pupils as controlled...However, there is inherent potential for stress, tension and conflict in this model – for the possibility always exists that the submissive party...may choose not to be submissive...conflict can result...the cooperative learning model is based on an assumption of teachers and pupils as partners’ (McNamara, 2000: 14) Chris You can tell he’s new he tries to reason with them – he’ll learn
