20:02:13 ICTwitz@jamesmichie I must say, curriculum wise, Ihave been impressed with what i've seen withthe International Primary Curriculum #ukedchat

20:02:20 stbirwinI would like access to lots of outdoor space, sowe can have quality outdoor learning #ukedchat


@nohandsup So what would be your

alternative? How do you envision yourcurriculum? #ukedchat

20:02:27 andyhampton#ukedchat generally assess children when thelearning is finished not always according to pre-set moments in time

20:02:35 nohandsup@ePaceonline Its such a huge topic. Focussingon curriculum first? Surely everything has to bedesigned around the learning #ukedchat

20:02:43 urban_teacher

Classes would be limited to 15 students, more

creative aspect to learning, less test, less politicsand more real life experie. #ukedchat

20:02:46 IncSolutionsLtd Great topic tonight #ukedchat

20:02:56 janeconsidineA classroom with a glass floor fitted with atropical aquarium #bit80s #ukedchat

20:03:05 ThessailyOne that isn't overloaded with assessment forthe sake of assessment so we can spend timeplanning and delivering great lessons #ukedchat

20:03:06 jamesmichie @eslweb Just laptops? Not iPads? Surelythere's a time and place to put the tech down?#ukedchat

20:03:08 mikeatedji@nohandsup @jamesmichie #ukedchat Yes, ifwe could escape the tyranny of silo teachingwithout losing the rigour of subject specifics

20:03:21 lankyflamingoI would like it to have classrooms with desks,bean bags, carpet for circle time, and a loft chillout zone #ukedchat and I teach secondary!

20:04:07 jamesmichie@urban_teacher Like the sound of this. Wld weall agree that smaller classes r better?#ukedchat

20:04:12 SpenceictI would want to see a school that teachesstudents to love learning, through exploration &challenge. #ukedchat

20:04:17 Hero_project#ukedchat want our students to want to come toschool and provide every single child opportunity

to explore their dreams

20:04:17 nohandsup@jamesmichie trans-diciplinary projects thatretain essential elements of subject knowledge -projects that have a 'real' purpose #ukedchat

20:04:21 urban_teacherCreative lessons would be the cornerstone of thecurriculum, with all the life skills that make thismethod of education unique. #ukedchat

20:05:25 jackieschneiderChuck out 19th cent factory ideas which rewardblind obedience, obsess over uniform & dividekids into factory fodder or manager #ukedchat

20:05:26 tmeekyMy 8 year old won't go to bed cos after joining in3 weeks ago she wants to tonight... hope u don'tmind a few thoughts from her #ukedchat

independent school head I can assure you thatsmall classes work!

20:06:58 AliceBakesCakesChildren would be allowed to choose what tolearn - topics staff were interested in and

children wanted to learn about #ukedchat

20:06:58 davidhunter@jamesmichie @urban_teacher there'sevidence that the effect of small classes isnegligible #ukedchat

20:07:01 ukedchat#ukedchat topic reminder: Starting with a blankpiece of paper: Design the school of yourdreams with @jamesmichie

20:07:58 nohandsupAn examination system that recognised effortand application - not just attainment #ukedchat

20:08:07 alexgingell I'd get rid of classes #ukedchat

20:08:07 bellaale as cross-curricular as possible #ukedchat

20:08:09 davidhunterOne of the biggest impacts would be reduction ofcontact time to 50%,allowing collaborationbetween educators and PD. #ukedchat

20:08:09 Saltcreature#ukedchat Curriculum needs to be flexibleenough to suit all learners.

20:08:11 jamesmichieCurrently teaching bottom set Y10 with 11students. Its wonderful, I can give them so much

direct input Making loads of progress. #ukedchat

20:08:20 syded06@Spenceict exactly assessment shouldenhance learning and not be seen as anecessary evil #ukedchat

20:08:35 jamesmichie@Jon_Torbitt That's exactly my vision. We areall learners! #ukedchat
