After our recent dispiriting experience with teachers in Stoke, I had a rewarding encounter with a gang of teachers in Castle Vale. There they are introducing project working to Year 7 (first year of secondary school) and we are working with them on this through the year, giving the school starting points, activities and fresh approaches. Yesterday’s discussion was around how The Black Maze could act as a learning stimulus and in a practical, open and uncomplicated way the teachers picked up on ideas, knocked them into shape, took on responsibility for delivering work and basically cheered me up. Well don them.
