August'23 Bulletin
Hello! This is your monthly bulletin, with the latest news and announcements from the world of Progressive Education. This month we're featuring...
The 20% Project for Schools: Former Ofsted schools inspector, Derry Hannam renews his ‘Modest Proposal’ and urges all state-funded schools to allocate 20% of curriculum time to be negotiated around the interests, concerns, purposes and questions of the students.
Other News: For the first time in US history, a court has ruled that the government violated the constitutional rights of children through laws and actions that promote fossil fuels, ignore climate change laws, and disproportionately imperil young people. What are the implications for educators of this groundbreaking case?
Voice from the Sector: Read the inspirational story of Julia Black, a social entrepreneur, Master Neurocoach and Education Changemaker, whose adventure as an ‘accidental educationalist’ began when her daughter at the age of seven began to feel dispirited at school.
Regulars: Each month we highlight the latest jobs and events, share a podcast, book and documentary recommended by our community, and shine a light on change maker campaigns and initiatives to support parents/carers, educators and young people.
