sustainable manner" We should prepare for that!

ICTwitz 20:02
I worry that we are not preparing them well enough for their digital
futures #ukedchat Or will pupils work it out for themselves?
KempsterD 20:02
Feeling cynical... Droughts, working till 87, famine. Sorry just

there are a wealth of choices available to them and...
ufasarah 20:03
My partner is a lecturer & is seeing students coming through who
cant think for themselves #ukedchat

dailydenouement 20:03
#ukedchat Have you ever asked your pupils what they want to be
prepared for?
mrpeel 20:03
@ICTwitz digital futures? many can't write a formal letter of
application #ukedchat
a_p_martin 20:04
#ukedchat hmm want to join in but page not loading. Education is
for life skills (quals are part of this) but the "real world" bit is vital.
mikeatedji 20:04
@passionateaboot #ukedchat It doesn't become less relevant
because I have a vision...it can be discussed and mutated and
argued with
MSkinnider 20:04
I'm missing #ukedchat tonight but I hope my fellow B.Eds will catch

"how to live in a sustainable manner" We should prepare for that!
gavinsmart 20:04
@dailydenouement I think its got 2b about transferable skills.
Doing jobs that aren't even invented yet!Shift Happens! #ukedchat
jodieworld 20:04
#ukedchat b) some of those choices involve much more and much
harder work...but are generally the most rewarding financially &
emotionally!
passionateaboot 20:04 @jackieschneider #ukedchat What is it then?
Redsra 20:04
#ukedchat mines, mills and sweatshops judging by the latest govt
policy...
HMIeducation 20:04
#ukedchat we're always three steps behind. future should be
coding and web design, teachers should be learning along-side.constant cycle.

dailydenouement 20:04
Is it all about digital futures though? What about sustainability,
health etc? #ukedchat
ICTwitz 20:04 @aangeli The curriculum needs a complete overhaul? #ukedchat
PhilWheeler1 20:04
#ukedchat Preparing people 4 jobs which don't exist yet, so need to
be flexible but Gove wants to narrow the selection with the #EBacc
#fail
JOHNSAYERS 20:05
Teaching for the World of yesteryear and occasionally today. NOT
for the World of tomorrow! #ukedchat

critical thinking skills, IT, collaboration and team work all should be
skills that are used daily #ukedchat

smile2learn 20:05
#ukedchat time to work hand in hand with industry, need
businesses to support modelling the curriculum.
paulhaigh 20:05
#ukedchat founder of our school said 'in the schools teach themwhat is necessary for life' when did she say it? about 1840 still
drives us
passionateaboot 20:05
@HMIeducation If we enable them to think and learn for
themselves is all this possible? #ukedchat
PhilWheeler1 20:05
Preparing people to get medical jobs to assist me when I'm still
teaching in the classroom at 68! #ukedchat
mattpearson 20:05
be a little wary of the 'jobs' that don't exist meme. Doctors,
teachers, architects, web designers, Any of these disappeared yet?
#ukedchat
mrpeel 20:05
#ukedchat current anger at govt will not solve this question -all
govts will be the same in this area over the coming years
dailydenouement 20:05
#ukedchat What would you add or take away from our current
curriculum to better prepare pupils?
SimonBainbridge 20:05
Using tools of now instead of yesteryear to teach/learn will help
build relevant skills for the students future careers #ukedchat
teacherofy5 20:05
#ukedchat We need to prepare chn/students to be independent
and assertive
KempsterD 20:05
What we don't want is kids like hose on Apprentice. Money
orientated, egotistical, non-collaborators. Not good role models.#ukedchat
imrandjk 20:05
#ukedchat at the moment we are not really equipping them for
anything other than jumping over the next "test" hurdle
ufasarah 20:06
for me its more about learning dispositions than skills that yp need
to develop as learners. Things like curiosity & flexibility #ukedchat
dailydenouement 20:06
#ukedchat What, if anything, did you find useful preparation from
your own education? And what can we learn from this?

Self-aware, empathetic and able to develop positive relationships
#ukedchat
mattpearson 20:07
one thing seems rather clear, teaching children 'facts' in the age of
the internet, is not the best use of anyone's time #ukedchat
cherrylkd 20:07
@dailydenouement #ukedchat I'd remove some of the over load on
PHSE. It tells them what to do/think and prevents independent
thought often

@teacherofy5 #ukedchat this is imperative.We teach students to
be self aware and confident in their choices & to be aware of their
choices)
mrpeel 20:08
@ufasarah good point-extra curicular activites so important and
being eroded in UK #ukedchat
CarrotyCarrots 20:08
RT @jackieschneider: @dailydenouement - abolish league tables,
mix up the curriculum, give kids access to arts, sports, design,scientists, writers,#ukedchat
Educationchat 20:08
Surely we should be educating our children to pass tests. As that's
what makes a school good. Sure I heard Gove say that recently
#ukedchat
paulhaigh 20:08
#ukedchat coding argument interesting, why teach coding when
they get to work they'll use codes that don't yet exist- teach them
maths
mattpearson 20:08
yet it is exactly a return to teaching facts which has characterised
Gove and Gibbs reign.... #ukedchat
PhilWheeler1 20:08#ukedchat I found being involved in my education helped esp in thesixth form
nightzookeeper 20:08
@dailydenouement I would say it was only by stepping outside of
my comfort zone that I really developed as a learner #ukedchat

opportunities to be adaptable, flexible, and to try out new things

mikeatedji 20:08
@passionateaboot #ukedchat Less relevant to the pupils... in
countless research pupils put sustainblty issues high up on list of
concerns
smile2learn 20:08
#ukedchat so important to keep the development of the whole
child at the centre of all we do. Only happy children learn.

#ukedchat Participation in the 21st century - and that means?
Learners being empowered which means teachers changing their
mindset.
oldandrewuk 20:09
@mattpearson #ukedchat I looked into it here:
http://t.co/LSV7S0DN See myth 1.
CassieFielding 20:09
To take responsibility and ownership of their own learning.
#ukedchat

@passionateaboot it can be seen as a new way of expressing older
lessons. english and maths are best applicable online nowadays.
#ukedchat

mikeatedji 20:09
#ukedchat Children are central but there are of course issues which
will affect them that need addressing - we can raise those
jackieschneider 20:09
#ukedchat - I worry our divided school system simply reinforces
class divisions
CarrotyCarrots 20:09
RT @smile2learn: #ukedchat so important to keep the

ICTwitz 20:09
Sounds like education needs to take more of the role of the parent
to show pupils how to behave and respect people? #ukedchat
SimonBainbridge 20:09
Using independent learning will help students become independent
workers - More people will be self employers in the near future

internationally competitive.that's not what I believe I should be for

Thursday 1st December 2011What is it exactly that educators are
supposed to be preparing pupils for?
passionateaboot 20:13
@aangeli #ukedchat Is it about a list of discrete subjects or
something that transcends rigid boundaries?
Mad_teach 20:14
#ukedchat I agree with all these teaching em HOW to learn and not
just facts but when they do GCSEs&SATs its the facts that matter.
KempsterD 20:14
RT @JOHNSAYERS #ukedchat wrkng with com is something we
need to build into schls. Let's build a community spirit into ourlives! >hear hear!
elanazak 20:14
RT @passionateaboot: So how can teachers hold that ladder to
support the learning? #ukedchat
PhilWheeler1 20:14
RT @mrpeel: #ukedchat point 1 should be to teach that facebook
posts are not private and that their occasional lapses of judgement
will follow them
oldandrewuk 20:14

Nobody thinks tests are the purpose of education. > students do!
paulhaigh 20:14
@dorristheloris yes interesting, essential code is algorithm and
lateral thinking, skills gained elsewhere in the curric? #ukedchat
cherrylkd 20:14
@jodieworld @ictwitz #ukedchat but shouldn't etiquette &
manners be parents job? Too much time spent on this in schools
TeachToAll 20:14
@imrandjk completely agree teachers are not given the sufficient
time to teach skills children need to become lifelong learners
#ukedchat
mattpearson 20:14
@oldandrewuk but I can get knowledge from the internet into my
head very quickly with the right skills unlike 20 years ago...
#ukedchat
ufasarah 20:14

more real. Real reasons to learn, real challenges, real audiences

'know what to do when they don't know what to do'.
davidhunter 20:14
#ukedchat it would be good to think UK is pioneering industries
grassroots in schools like south Korea and technology/robotics

@passionateaboot I'm not sure yet. There's a lot of frustration in
this chat with the curriculum. But being supportive can't hurt.
#ukedchat
imrandjk 20:15
@TeachToAll there isnt the time or the room in the curriculum to
be able to deliver all that they need #ukedchat
passionateaboot 20:15 @imrandjk #ukedchat Do you have to spoon feed them?
dailydenouement 20:15
#ukedchat So how would/could we get all this into a 'timetable'? Or
should we ignore this sort of structure?

'facts' in the age of the internet, is not the best use of anyone's

@elanazak curriculum can be tweaked_ the obsession with grades,

#ukedchat
ePaceonline 20:16
#ukedchat We need to equip pupils with the skills to search for the

mikeatedji 20:16
#ukedchat Yes we should be teaching progressive skills; analysis;
sifting; synthesising...but what values to underpin these?
UKCHAZ 20:16
#ukedchat @trisha_telfer - The ability to become the futurecustodians of our world and lives and the skills to live through
uncertainty.

but a lot of the parents were not taught it either so need to break
