Following direct intervention from NAHT, a revised timetable for implementing both the new curriculum framework and qualifications reform has been issued today, providing an additional year to allow the system to stabilise.

@DrWHKitchen @Education_NI I think we’re talking past each other here. I’m not anti-knowledge, & I agree theory & practice are connected by evidence. My concern is keeping space for judgment, context, & craft alongside formal theory — & with where the current trajectory appears to be taking us as a system

@EBPSPrincipal @Education_NI You mustn't have read Lucy Crehan's report. I suspect you are a naysayer, whose anti-knowledge views mean you're willing to ignore evidence, and adopt ideology. Theory and practice are not a mutually exclusive dichotomy. They are both connected by evidence.

@EBPSPrincipal @Education_NI @Ed_Authority @tgeducation Who said teaching was merely imparting knowledge? I've written a book on the teaching- knowledge relationship. Rather than quoting JP (who I admire), maybe read and critique my own comments on knowledge. Anyone who reduces teaching to simply imparting knowledge isn't very bright.

@DrWHKitchen @tgeducation Those promoting TransformED should be wary of becoming what they claim to be correcting: unchallengeable, unlistening, and insulated from the realities & subtleties of classrooms.

A disappointing contribution by @tgeducation It's sloppy and frankly lazy for anyone - let alone a Professor in Education - to compare Gove's reforms to Givan's. It strikes me as opportunistic, and profoundly intellectually dishonest.

Sobering reading. Highlights exactly why NI must avoid repeating England’s mistakes: ideological reforms, diminished teacher professionalism, & policy made above the heads of those who deliver it. We need open, honest, locally grounded conversations, not pre-packaged solutions.
