It 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @jamesmichie discussing Starting with a blank piece of paper: Design the school of your dreams. And we're off! #ukedchat Starting with a blank piece of paper: Design the school of your dreams. So, to begin I wish to consider learning, assessment & the people involved. #ukedchat @urban_teacher Agreed, so how would you change things? #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: It 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @jamesmichie discussing Starting with a blank piece of paper: Design the school of your dreams. @jamesmichie My dream secondary curriculum would involve learning that isn't bound by subject divisions #ukedchat This #ukedchat is irresistible where do we start? RT @ukedchat: If you are joining #ukedchat tonight, make sure you unprotect your tweets and use the #ukedchat hashtag. RT @ukedchat: It 8pm.

I'd get rid of desks. They are so cumbersome and replace them with laptops! #ukedchat

How do you envision your curriculum? #ukedchat #ukedchat generally assess children when the learning is finished not always according to preset moments in time @ePaceonline Its such a huge topic. Focussing on curriculum first? Surely everything has to be designed around the learning #ukedchat Classes would be limited to 15 students, more creative aspect to learning, less test, less politics and more real life experie. #ukedchat Great topic tonight #ukedchat A classroom with a glass floor fitted with a tropical aquarium #bit80s #ukedchat One that isn't overloaded with assessment for the sake of assessment so we can spend time planning and delivering great lessons #ukedchat @eslweb Just laptops? Not iPads? Surely there's a time and place to put the tech down? #ukedchat @nohandsup @jamesmichie #ukedchat Yes, if we could escape the tyranny of silo teaching without losing the rigour of subject specifics I would like it to have classrooms with desks, bean bags, carpet for circle time, and a loft chill out zone #ukedchat and I teach secondary!

#ukedchat An examination system that recognised effort and application - not just attainment #ukedchat I'd get rid of classes #ukedchat as cross-curricular as possible #ukedchat One of the biggest impacts would be reduction of contact time to 50%,allowing collaboration between educators and PD. #ukedchat #ukedchat Curriculum needs to be flexible enough to suit all learners. Currently teaching bottom set Y10 with 11 students. Its wonderful, I can give them so much direct input Making loads of progress. #ukedchat @Spenceict exactly assessment should enhance learning and not be seen as a necessary evil #ukedchat @Jon_Torbitt That's exactly my vision. We are all learners! #ukedchat @super_sixfive definitely...it helps towards mastering any task. #ukedchat #ukedchat one of the things some of my young carers asked for was a "caring room" where children that needed time out were cared about..

well-resourced (literary, ICT, etc.); meditation taught; lots of green spaces @tmeeky Good idea. Therefore, more specialist teachers within primary schools who love and only teach that subject? #ukedchat Smaller classes with the option to team teach and combine classes at will, irrespective of ability or age #ukedchat Id rip up the timetable and extend the school day. Classes for parents who want to learn too. #ukedchat @jamesmichie why not make the community library the school library #ukedchat @Jon_Torbitt @jamesmichie #ukedchat Sounds interestingImportant to retain rigour while pursuing pupils' interests @ICTwitz #ukedchat Classrooms? They're a bit last centuryand the century before that. iPads as a must....don't really know why but that is the power they have. #ukedchat @mrpeel #ukedchat thinkers lead on - digital leaders, shared learning adults / students, range of learning spaces, flexitime #ukedchat PBL that incorporates all! A pastoral system that prepares ALL to a life where they are aware of their day to day living. @jamesmichie can work - my school on residential street . Library use would be welcomed, I am sure #ukedchat @jamesmichie @hypereverything children must learning mistakes are an essential part of learning! Vital growth mind set skills! #ukedchat What about the teachers! More time to plan, half a day off to assess, less admin, more training, more encouragement....! #ukedchat @IncSolutionsLtd iPads comment needs more thought #ukedchat @tmeeky Yes, or that way round too. :-) #ukedchat @OhLottie @jamesmichie @urban_teacher

thinking abt a lot. #ukedchat #ukedchat IBO offers a huge range of virtual courses - does anyone use any in their school? @Educationchat #ukedchat Not so keen on colouring in - prefer free expression, but otherwise love the sound of your school! @bbeclrc yes! no more having to justify a reading lesson using curriculum strands. Doing it because we want to read! #ukedchat Wonder what would happen if the pupils told Ofsted what they wanted them to moderate/check up on in their school... #ukedchat @mrpeel school in Durham do that because puberty affects body clock. Results encouraging I believe #ukedchat #ukedchat allow pupils to progress at their ability level not their age A curriculum based on pupil progress/interest rather than pupil age. With currciulum 'exit points' rather than just year 11 #ukedchat Curriculum that inspired the next generation #ukedchat mixture of academic, vocational & trade subjects #ukedchat the students must have chance to make choices about how, when and what they learn. How we expect them to learn is unreal #hectic @raisechildrens @urban_teacher yes many of my 4 year old girls want to be princess! #ukedchat RT @Educationchat: #ukedchat Homework to involve playing out, climbing trees, making a den, making the perfect conker, making up a dance to current number one. @davidhunter interesting - it seems so obvious

We're 18 months in and results are incredible @nohandsup love that idea - fab!! #ukedchat @Educationchat this is brilliant, I vote an alternative to the Montessori alternative, with damsels and dragons and all sorts #ukedchat @nohandsup Loving the sound of that. Give 'em ownership! #ukedchat @Thessaily that would help so much working with us rather than thinking they're the enemy #ukedchat @cherrylkd @BehaviourA #ukedchat we use success criteria based award system. Differences between NC levels in different subjects is unwieldy @Thessaily Or at least listens to the opinions of the thousands of professionals doing the job and know what children need #ukedchat

@tmeeky #ukedchat I find myself agreeing with everything you say. @jamesmichie in y5 and 6 yes, some people dont have the knowledge #ukedchat #UKEdChat ban any sentence that includes Ofsted. All policies should be there for learners and learning - not because it ticks an Ofsted box @nohandsup I like that idea particularly for older kids who hate lessons because they can't get on

makes a massive difference. #ukedchat RT @damoward: #ukedchat @jamesmichie Some space ideas here: http://t.co/kzxBReuy including Isis media activity pods and lecture steps @Educationchat #ukedchat yes but unless we dream we can't aspire and try to bring about change The only thing I would stipulate for my dream school is happy, motivated, passionate, compassionate, forward thinking teachers #ukedchat @Educationchat - that's what I meant when I said #ukedchat was depressing me @eslweb ooh nice. Also, if you handle them wrongly they are sharp! #ukedchat RT @jamesmichie: I drew a school with library at heart: #ukedchat http://t.co/GLDTCTLk @raisechildrens #ukedchat it really does RT @BehaviourA: #ukedchat Whatever else learning should be fun or at least out of genuine interest at all ages RT @fudgelight: #ukedchat Teachers who have as much of a sense of fun as the children....and who are allowed to show it. Or should I say staff at all levels #ukedchat BBC 2 at 9.00.. prog on Autism... a must watch for me #ukedchat @eslweb i like that-what was that in reference to? #ukedchat #UKEdChat final thought: ideal schools would be fun places of learning with embedded technology and intrinsically motivated learners RT @fudgelight #ukedchat Teachers who have as much of a sense of fun as the children....and who are allowed to show it #ukedchat have fun, take risks go off on tangents, explore, without fear that you have not prepared them for SATs or Ofsted won't like it @syded06 That shouldn't need to be a dream
