This is a new blog site for my observations on education, teaching, and schools. I currently mix education consultancy with part-time supply teaching which gives an interesting perspective on things. One day I may be offering some support to an individual teacher or delivering a whole school Inset event, the next delivering 'fill-in' tasks to an inner city group of challenging Year 10s.
Having been in education for over 30 years one thing strikes me very strongly. In spite of all the developoments in technology, good teachers are doing very much what they did back in the day. They plan well; they deliver interesting and appropriate activites; they give useful feedback; and, most of all, develop positive relationships with their students.
A lot is discussed about the new dawn of technology. However, whilst an additional resource it is no substitute for the basics.
