Children are busy transforming their lives & the world – eg striking for climate change – while schools focus on ensuring conformity in acquiring knowledge. We model how #transformation might sit alongside #conformity in education. #FridaysForFuture transformineducation.org/blo…

Something has shifted in the public mood regarding refugees. I've been tweeting about refugees for many years but never before received such an upswell of sympathy, and near universal condemnation of the government's callous approach. Thank U to everyone for your positive tweets!
“One of the most vile, cowardly, egregious political acts I’ve ever witnessed.”

Just come across @matthewsyed's book, which is an excellent resource to engage students with uncertainties that require attention and deliberation, in ways that encourage nuance and avoid polarisation. This is much needed in a time of high moral dudgeon.
How are youngsters supposed to form evidence-based opinions - and argue in ways that drive progress - in a world of fake news, cancel culture & polarisation? New book coming soon..

A huge well done to Perpetua Kirby, John Parry, Simon Thompson, Rebecca Webb & Michael Jonik, for their series of workshops, ‘Creating with Uncertainty: Covid recovery to educate for sustainable futures’ held this summer with local schools. #rampionoffshorewind #thelivingcoast
Excellent question on @RestIsPolitics about whether certainty is valued over intellectual humility and uncertainty. These are important discussions that have a place in schools as well as in Westminster.
We have been working with local schools and a team of @SussexUni academics and external partners, with diverse disciplinary expertise, using creative methods to explore sustainability facts as well as what is 'not known' .

Struck by @mmmccabe1's insight that 'In schools, children are not being given the scope and the time to learn things that are difficult, intractable, irressoluble . . . We need to take things slower, particularly in education". Listen to @RoryStewartUK
