IMAGINEERING THE CURRICULUM with Hywel Roberts: Teacher, Educationalist and Author
IMAGINEERING THE CURRICULUM
Its time to reclaim our professional imaginations
Talk by Hywel Roberts: Teacher, Educationalist and Author
Hywel Roberts is a teacher, author and educationalist working with many schools, colleges, universities and other educational organisations across the UK and beyond. Hywel covers, and practices, a whole variety of approaches that make learning real for young people and delivers his work with an energy and a humour that is infectious.
Imagineering is what we do prior to the engineering of planning and delivery. Its that reverie time where we think of what wed like to do with our children; its when we are at our most creative and imaginative. Its that time when we put context over coverage and wrap humanity around the curriculum. We bring it to life. Its a skill, but one that teachers are regularly saying they are struggling to find space to use, but its a skill that makes our work so much more real and engaging for the children we work with. Its time to reclaim our professional imaginations!
How can we get Declan to care about Tudor houses? How can we get Imogen to care about writing? How do we build botheredness? How can we help our children emotionally engage in the work we need them to do? In this session Hywel will report back some of the things hes found out whilst teaching in primary classrooms, in both mainstream and SEBN schools.
