The annual survey of newly qualified teachers (a response rate of over 11,000 NQTs) in July 2011 had a 90% rating of good or very good training. The newly appointed (2010) Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove stated “I have been struck by the dedication and commitment in schools and universities alike to play their part in the recruitment and training of new teachers.” (2011, p.3) and that “I believe we have the best generation of teachers ever in our schools” (2010).

4. AN AVALANCHE IS COMING Higher Education and the revolution ahead Michael Barber, Katelyn Donnelly, Saad Rizvi March 2013 ‘It’s tragic because, by my reading, should we fail to radically change our approach to education, the same cohort we’re attempting to “protect” could find their entire future is scuttled by our timidity” David Puttman Speech at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, June 2012

5. Vision of Partnership at the University of Manchester: To develop a collaborative model of partnership in which a “community of practice of learning” prevails, informed by a distinct set of beliefs and values.

6.

8. Viewing Partnership as Complex comprising numerous, diverse, highly interactive agents patterns of interaction contribute to emergent, non- linear and self-organizing behaviour change cannot be forced and attempts to control the system are counterproductive

9. Purpose of Our Work for AY 2013-14 To reframe partnership as a learning process To focus on the relational aspects of partnership To develop a learning model to guide future research and practice based on the concept of “learning to learn”

10. pedagogy for exploring knowledge exchange and knowledge creation L2L is building capacity to reflect on one’s own learning and intentionally apply the results of one’s reflection to further learning inquiry and reflection occurs as a function of actions and interactions with others Learning to Learn (L2L)

12. Pedagogy of Partnership Key Questions to be addressed as part of course design and delivery Who is the learner? Michelangelo’s motto is worth noting: I am still learning Closed vs Open: how prepared are we to discuss with one another as participants in the partnership our approaches and assumptions concerning learning, knowledge, etc? Manipulative vs Facilitative: do we want students to take on board our views and approaches, or do we seek to help them to develop their own meanings and learning processes? Transmission vs Interpretation: do we see the education process as principally concerned with the transmission of functionally-based knowledge, or with the wider interpretation of its use, linkages and relationships?
