'I can't fault the experience... I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to further their teaching practice' - a current student on the MEd Music Education (Online) programme Trinity Laban #CPD #MusicEducation trinitylaban.ac.uk/course/med-mus…

Congratulations Emily. Heart warming to read. You have created a whole new music education paradigm. Thank goodness. Engendering so much hope and flying above the tangled despair of official curriculum thinking.

Join me, Dr Dr Ally Daubney, Baz Chapman & Michael Spence for the final ISM Trust webinar in the #BreakingTheSingingBarrier series on 15 May. We'll be exploring pyschological & personal barriers to singing in schools, and you'll have the chance to ask questions.🎶

The Prog v Trad artificial culture wars, fuelled by government along a fault line of the science of learning has distracted from real opportunities to better understand the broader ecosystem of teaching & learning. Focussing more on why & when than ‘what’may prove more beneficial

The ‘alternative big listen’ is being launched today by Frank Norris to find out what teachers think about the current Ofsted process.

My big weekend thread.
There isn’t a university teacher education programme or department in the country that doesn’t claim to be concerned with social justice, so much so that the claim cancels out if you aren’t prepared to be quite a bit more specific about it.

Policy chickens coming home to roost.

The recent “pile on” against critical pedagogy is, imo, symptomatic of the reductive nature of thinking in the last few years, centred in a cognitive only approach to learning - wanting to treat CYP as ‘brains in jars’ rather than holistic beings in a social environment.

Deeply dispiriting.. This issue identified over five years ago in ISM ‘State of the Nation’ report (ISM 2019). x.com/ISM_music/stat…. I sometimes wonder whether music Ed. community might have done more with this? (full disclosure: I was one of the authors!).

Nice to see an article in latest
