China visit, part 3: Fostering a Culture of Collaborative Intellectual Preparation I observed teachers in their subject specialisms working together, analysing a recent assessment paper their students had sat. They were “intellectually preparing” by identifying high-frequency errors their students were likely to make, so they could anticipate and address them. I was told that they often debated their views, which I believe is a valuable professional development exercise. Now consider the following for your school: 1. To what extent do UK teachers come together to discuss curriculum and assessment compared to focusing on administrative tasks? 2. How often do teachers thoroughly review assessments, anticipating high-frequency errors to target interventions? And do they collaborate passionately, sharing and debating their insights? 3. What could novice teachers learn from experts as a result of such an exercise? 4. Where could this exercise be formalised within the school structure to maximise its impact?

Aramai he tētēkura! Māori experience disproportionate physical restraint in school. We worked alongside experts to create a model of responding to distress in students through a Māori worldview. We used the narrative of the "Manu Taiko", the guardian bird, that is attuned to the forest and responds to distress with intention and care. Ongoing teacher education training ensures long-term change. We hope our work ensures every child experiences respect and care within our schools. If you're looking for an insightful cultural strategy that supports positive change, we can help. Learn more about this case study: https://lnkd.in/g4PxhWF5

The debate on cultural relativism in education, particularly in Northern Territory (NT) schools in Australia, is centered around the importance of integrating diverse cultural backgrounds in education. This is crucial for the holistic development of individuals and for fostering a cohesive society. The philosophical underpinnings of this approach are based on the idea that justice and fairness in education require recognising the different starting points of individuals and communities. From an economic perspective, the integration of cultural relativism in education is seen as an investment in the social capital of a nation, preparing individuals to participate fully and effectively in the economy. Psychological insights support the case for culturally responsive education, as it is crucial for the development of a positive self-concept in students, which influences their motivation, engagement, and academic and social success. In the Northern Territory, innovative educational practices have been implemented to bridge the gap between traditional Aboriginal cultures and the contemporary Australian education system. These initiatives have shown some results, but they require sustained commitment and resources to ensure their effectiveness and scalability. The debate on cultural relativism and education extends beyond curriculum development to broader questions of pedagogy, assessment, and educational policy. Academic results and the education system's capacity to cultivate people who are competent and confident in their cultural identities and prepared to contribute positively to a pluralistic society will serve as the metrics for this endeavour's success. #culturalrelativism #culture #education #economics #culturalidentity #identitypolitics

1moI love this approach. As a Head of Department, I’ve implemented a two-week department meeting cycle. In Week A, we focus on administrative tasks, and in Week B, we engage in discussions around curriculum planning, teaching and learning and assessment. During these sessions, we review exam questions, analyse exam scripts, and identify high-frequency errors, as you mentioned in your post.
