Promoting a Culture of Innovation: New approaches to professional learning in a post-Donaldson era

Reflecting on the principles, research evidence and recommendations of the Donaldson review of teacher education, this workshop aims to facilitate discussion on how to establish and maintain new approaches to professional learning for teachers that encourages innovation, creativity and experimentation; ultimately improved experiences for our learners.

This workshop takes as its starting point the psychological and social effects of child poverty.  It will critically examine some of the explanations of how deprivation tends to lead to underachievement, and open up some new issues and questions emerging from research. These include ability grouping, community involvement and whether children from poorer neighbourhoods tend to experience more restricted forms of teaching (a ‘pedagogy of poverty’). Examples will be provided of innovative schools which are making a difference.    

Participants will be invited to look at how much we know of children’s lives outside of school, including family interests and support, and at how school-based research can be used to raise awareness about the danger of ‘pedagogies of poverty’. 

The workshop relates to the presenter’s new book Living on the Edge (co-author John Smyth) and to his involvement in Social Justice Re-considered (a collaboration involving staff at Moray House, University of Edinburgh).
