To start.
I am a teacher, responsible for the learning of young adults. And, perhaps, I am expected to also mediate their behaviour and inculcate a 'socialisation' within them, to limit those actions deemed unpleasant, and reward those good.
What does it mean to be a teacher at the start of the 21st century in the UK? How do teaching and learning work? What sort of things happen to teachers and students, and what can we learn from them?
This blog is simply about these thoughts, because they are important in my own development. We understand all too little about any of these topics, and all I want to say that I am aiming to do is to begin to map out the extent of our ignorance in these matters.
