The Ford in Torquay

An interesting keynote from Mike Rumble tonight. Gareth put some notes on the conference blog. He encourages schools to takes risk and in developing ‘our’ curriculum, likening it to building regulations in which the  architects and builders can have creative freedom to produce very different buildings while still adhering to the regs.

The curriculum is presently the entire planned learning experience. The Curriculum of the future needs to encompass universal and unique elements. We need to move from THE National Curriculum, to OUR Curriculum. The phrase we need to be using is Contagious professionalism.

The conference is not at all like I imagined it to be. More on this another day
