ManYana Ltd, Achieving Tomorrow, Today. Education, training and consultancy. http:/ www.manyanaeducation.co.uk. Sunday, 27 July 2014. An additional level in SOLO taxonomy. Solo has, via a great deal of research into students' thinking identified itself as having the following level. It seems to me that to do that one has to have some deep understanding of the underlying structure of the now related knowledge. What are the features that the related knowledge is connected by? The cat sat on the mat. I woul...

ManYana Ltd, Achieving Tomorrow, Today. Education, training and consultancy. http:/ www.manyanaeducation.co.uk. Friday, 15 August 2014. Going SOLO - An English teacher's experience of using SOLO. Having been persuaded of the limitations of Bloom’s Taxonomy and introduced to the benefits of SOLO through an OTP course, I decided the only way to really find out was to experiment with it myself. Lesson one involved introducing the class to SOLO. I relied upon YouTube and its explanation of SOLO through L...

ManYana Ltd: Can I improve my students' memory?

ManYana Ltd, Achieving Tomorrow, Today. Education, training and consultancy. http:/ www.manyanaeducation.co.uk. Wednesday, 5 November 2014. Can I improve my students' memory? Treading of dangerous waters, here. But the following is a distillation of what I have read and hopefully understood about memory. At some point your children will take exams and the more they can remember, facts and processes - know what and know hoy - the better they are likely to do in the exam, other things being equal. So the f...

ManYana Ltd, Achieving Tomorrow, Today. Education, training and consultancy. http:/ www.manyanaeducation.co.uk. Friday, 14 November 2014. Engagement - too many meanings! This is part two. Part one is here. What I do not mean by engagement. Engagement - engaged to be married. Engagement - I have an engagement. I need to go now. A meeting, event of some sort. Engagement - I have been engaged to deliver an INSET Day at Bog Standard Comprehensive School. The last one is the one which I think is missing the p...

ManYana Ltd: Why do I need a teacher?
http://manyana-education.blogspot.com/2015/04/why-do-i-need-teacher.html
ManYana Ltd, Achieving Tomorrow, Today. Education, training and consultancy. http:/ www.manyanaeducation.co.uk. Monday, 27 April 2015. Why do I need a teacher? I was thinking about what it was that a teacher did. A bit like the ‘If we have Google, why do we need a teacher? But what actually matters in tree identification? Is it leaf shape, or seed pods, or bark? What else. Will any one of these do or do different identification features work at different times of the year? Does one actually exist? As a n...

Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. The Dangers of the Superteacher Model. August 12, 2015. There is a certain type of book in which superteachers are held before our eyes as the example to follow. They work all hours, organise wonderful trips, create their own resources, produce professional quality theatre and musical extravaganzas . . . There is a moral imperative for those with families to achieve some kind of reasonable trade-off. Equally, individual teachers creating their own wonderf...

Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. We Need Good Schools to Help Us Become Good Teachers. April 15, 2015. Noah: he had the right idea, but I don’t think he built that thing single-handed. One of the themes of the whole Teach Like a Champion. Only a few, very exceptional individuals will have the strength of character and intellectual independence to plough their own furrow in an environment that is hostile to learning, because it is so deeply infected with bad ideas. Teach Like a Champion.

You get what anybody gets. You get a lifetime. Because…life is scary. June 9, 2015. June 9, 2015. I love Amanda Palmer. There. I said it. I love her honesty and her courage and her insights into, seemingly, my head. This is what she wrote in. The Art of Asking. The Fraud Police are the imaginary, terrifying force of ‘real’ grown-ups who you believe – at some subconscious level – are going to come knocking on your door in the middle of the night, saying:. Gah Back to writing reports now, I suppose. The re...
