Professor Dr Ger Graus OBE will be joining me for a dedicated season based on his book - Through a Different Lens - Lessons from a Life in Education.
We will discuss in more depth the 6 chapters:
1. The benefit of hindsight and the lessons learned. This includes family influences, school experiences, teachers, being a teacher and being involved in The Children's University, Kidzania and travelling the world giving lectures, presentations and being a keynote speaker.
2. Children can only aspire to what they know exists. I am a living example of this........I would not have been a professional musician and had the career I have had if not for my school experiences and opportunities.
3. Thoughts about schooling and education - what is the difference? Education is 0-99 years.......how do we instil this understanding in our children?
4. Technology!!!!!!
5. The role we play
6. More than a school - measuring what we value not just subject exam results and league tables.
We will then invite expert discussion about 3 key areas.
Early Years - the current situation, what it can be, why it is important and views from around the globe.
School - What is a school and why do children attend?
Higher/Further education - How is this working today? What are the alternatives, is it fit for purpose, can they all survive the threat of closure from lack of funding.....does that matter?
We will also have a LIVE show where you can get involved, ask questions and bring your views to the campfire. Be a fire lighter. Be part of the movement.
