Feel free to share with your team to start the conversation..
‘The problem is not to get students to ask us what they don’t know; the problem is to make them aware of the difference between what they know and what they don’t’.
[John Holt, (1964) ‘How Children Fail’: Penguin, Page 17]

Thank you Tony, I am really enjoying the bite size videos and commentary. These will be shared with colleagues to promote debate and positive change.
Many thanks, Will! There’s more on the way, most of which I truly believe, but also some that challenge my own thinking.
