Welcome to this celebration and discussion of education especially in relation to Windsor School. Thursday, November 29, 2012. The Year draws to a close (nearly). The job of a teacher is to cause learning to occur. To do this we need to have a learning focussed relationship. A learning focussed relationship is an open and honest understanding that all that I will do and how I will interact with you is to cause learning to occur. My # 1 job is not about happiness, caring, nurturing- it is about learning.

Welcome to this celebration and discussion of education especially in relation to Windsor School. Friday, November 1, 2013. Singing, laughter, relationship and movement.

Welcome to this celebration and discussion of education especially in relation to Windsor School. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Why do we do what we do? One of the biggest challenges in education is critical reflection. It is a challenge because without it we (educators) do what we have always done and what was done to us. Why wouldn't we , we are a successful outcome of a western education system so why not replicate it. Why in many schools:. Do we still have seating that is all groups or all in single tables?
