The document discusses the history and principles of progressive primary education, using the Eynsham County Primary School in Oxfordshire from 1965-1979 as a case study. Eynsham implemented open-plan classrooms, integrated learning days, family-style student groupings, and team teaching without a set curriculum. The school emphasized experiential learning, collaboration, and developing students' well-being over standardized testing.

Shared space: regulation, technology and legal education in a global context
Professor Paul Maharg
Australian National University College of Law
Abstract
The LETR Report on legal services education and training (LSET), published in June 2013, is the most recent of a series of reports dealing with legal education in England and Wales. Many of these reports do not deal directly with technology theory and use in legal education, though it is the case that the use of technology has increased substantially in recent decades. This is a pattern that is evident in reports in most other common law jurisdictions. LETR does have a position on technology use and theory, however, and it positions itself in this regard against other reports in England and Wales, and those from other jurisdictions, notably those in the USA.
In this paper I shall set out that position and contrast it with regulatory statements on technology and legal education in England, Australia and the USA. Based on a review not just of recent practical technological implementations but of the theoretical educational and regulatory literatures, I shall argue that the concept of ‘shared space’ outlined in the Report is a valuable tool for the development of technology in education and for the direction of educational theory, but most of all for the development of regulation of technology in legal education at every level.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

16. • No national curriculum, no LEA curriculum, no school curriculum
• Periods are blocks of time that are flexible if required. Breaks are
flexible: play and work are intertwined.
• Setting out and clearing up were part of the day’s activities for both
children & staff.
‘There is every effort made for the school to be a real community group
and to develop skills and abilities of individuals and help them develop
attitudes to enable them to be individuals yet concerned with the other
individuals in their community.’

17. • Family groupings of 40 children, aged 5-9.
• Vertically organised (so that children could take mentoring
roles) + parental conferencing & teacher observation.
Children from same families included in the group (unless
requested out) and the group became a family that moved
through time.
• Teachers facilitated, helped organise future work, gave
feedback to individuals & small groups, reviewed progress
with children.
family groupings
18. • Teachers formed a co-operative:
– helping each other teach
– meeting regularly to plan & discuss activities and
resources
• All teachers recorded their practice in daily diaries, which
for some became a record that fed into writing about
school activities.
• Teacher practice exemplified Dewey’s democratic
practices: ‘associated living’ & ‘associated thinking’
team teaching
24. • HMI’s were central
• Power and authority was distributed between players
• Teachers were listened to.
• Politicians fairly distant:
‘First and most obviously the teachers gain from having their work seen by,
and bing able to discuss it with, someone who is a teacher himself, who
has seen the work of many other teachers and schools and who is not an
employee of the LEA. […] [The Inspectorate] is very proud of its traditions
of independent professional judgement and of its high standards. […]
[The HMI] does not go round preaching a doctrine […] He works by
influence not by authority.’ Blackie, J (1967). Inside the Primary School.
regulatory relationships?
25. ‘In all this activity [in the US], the dominant figures appear to be the
politicians, the professors, the research and curriculum specialists, the
engineers, and the publishers, rather than the teachers. The forces working
towards change come from the most part from outside schools.’
Bassett, G.W. (1970). Innovation in Primary Education. London, Wiley Interscience, 3.
26. 5.94 While almost all the classes undertook some practical work in art
and some crafts, there is a need for children to be taught to observe more
carefully and to record faithfully what they see and know. The emphasis
which has been placed on children using a wide variety of materials has in
some cases resulted in children working in a superficial way. Children need
time to familiarise themselves with the characteristics of particular materials
and to acquire some degree of mastery over essential skills and techniques. A
more carefully selected range of art and craft activities, worked at more
thoroughly, would enable children to reach higher standards in the execution
of their word and obtain more satisfaction from it. [Sentence in italics is
underlined; the whole passage has vertical marginal line and crosses.]

27. ‘Vertical grouping offers many advantages to staff members. The infant-
school teacher does not face the terrible strain of coping with thirty-six or
even forty children who have never been to school before and who arrive,
frightened and uneasy, on the same day in September. More important,
vertical grouping establishes continuity in learning. The teacher who can
follow each child through two or more years of school is able to watch his
progress. She knows his interests, his likes and dislikes. In addition, she
knows the stages of development he has achieved and is sure of the next
steps he should take. […] She can establish deep and understanding
friendships with the children and maintain them over a period of time’.
