ianaddison 20:00#ukedchat tonight's topic 'How to get 'behind the times' schools

ahead...and FAST!'

ianaddison 20:00 Ok...you ready? here goes...#ukedchat

ukedchat 20:01

It's 8pm - Join @ianaddison and others NOW discussing "How to get

'behind the times' schools, ahead...and FAST! " Remember the

#ukedchat tag

MissSMitch 20:01 what do we mean by behind the times? #ukedchat

MissSMitch 20:02 @ianaddison thanks! #ukedchat

TheHeadsOffice 20:02 #ukedchat Need to find positive wizards to lead the changes

deerwood 20:02How can a school tell if it's 'behind the times' and how can we

demonstrate that to them? #ukedchat

dughall 20:02I'm #ukedchat ting for the next hour. "How to get 'behind the times'

schools, ahead...and FAST! "

TheHeadsOffice 20:02#ukedchat THe key is to show them what 'good' looks like using their

staff & pupils

ianaddison 20:02RT @MissSMitch: what do we mean by behind the times? #ukedchat

TheHeadsOffice 20:03#ukedchat Behing the times does not only mean techy believe me!

When you have dinosaurs on the staff you sch is BTT!

jimbo9848 20:04#ukedchat start an organisation to bring them up to speed. It could

be called BACTA or something similar.

chrismayoh 20:04 Already 4 mins behind. No chance of catching up now! #ukedchat

missbrownsword 20:04

visited a school this week where the head had worked there since she

was TA & only place she'd ever worked, didn't seem good to me

#ukedchat

ianaddison 20:04RT @squiggle7: even if you show them many are still very reluctant

to change the way they've always done things #ukedchat

didactylos 20:04

#ukedchat the Demolition Govt may well feel the 'behind the times

schools' are in fact not a problem. Gove doesn't like progressive ideas

JfB57 20:04#ukedchat I suspect if they are BTT their results are not going to be at

the top@deerwood

dughall 20:04 @ianaddison So, does techy = good? #ukedchat

AdiNotNow 20:04#ukedchat What we really need to know is why are they less techy -

money staff infrastructure?

JfB57 20:05@squiggle7 #ukedchat Hence the need for positive wizards plus the

children. Once they have the idea they can lead reluctant staff!

didactylos 20:05#ukedchat behind the times to me is not paying any attention to all

the learning theory we have got that we did not have 20 years ago

missbrownsword 20:05@Laura_987 no she was described by someone I know who works

there as 'not very forward thinking' #ukedchat

deerwood 20:05 @didactylos many schools may also feel the same way #ukedchat canwe convince them otherwise?

cleverfiend 20:05

There is a balance to be struck between not moving with the times

and jumping feet first into every initiative that comes along!

#ukedchat

john_at_muuua 20:05are schools 'behind the times'? in many ways schools are leading the

times in tolerance and cultural awareness #ukedchat

squiggle7 20:06@JfB57 but many schools don't have the positive wizards to lead.

dughall 20:06 @janwebb21 You got it Jan :-) #ukedchat

chrismayoh 20:06Surely being 'with the times' is to be able to select an appropriate set

of tools to do the job at hand. Tech or no tech #ukedchat

deerwood 20:06@didactylos but Roger, there are people who believe that many of

our learning theories are incorrect #ukedchat

innerquest 20:06perhaps we worship too much at the feet of the god called

technology, maybe WE should take a step back? #ukedchat

john_at_muuua 20:06if it's merely tech, then the answer is never to be static. we need tech

that upgrades with us, #ukedchat

ICanTeach_uk 20:06

Let's face it anyone using #ukedchat is clearly ahead of the times -

however those 'not' on twitter are not necessarily behind the times

MissSMitch 20:07@innerquest I agree tech should enhance good practice not replace it

#ukedchat

AdiNotNow 20:07#ukedchat I think to become more techy, a staff need inspired

leadership. Show them the value of tech and get them onboard.

john_at_muuua 20:07

just having tech does not keep us ahead. having partners that keep us

ahead is what matters #ukedchat

SkoorBttaM 20:07Some staff so used to seeing things go full circle, initiative after

initiative, they think 'going techy' is just the same #ukedchat

didactylos 20:07#ukedchat you can be very techy and still behind the times, depends

how you measure things

duckinwales 20:08

RT @SusanElkinJourn: @cleverfiend #ukedchat It all goes round &

round though. If you teach 40 yrs & don't change you'll be right three

times - it's said.

didactylos 20:08@deerwood #ukedchat don't mind if there's a debate about it, its

teach better. Not a teaching method or replacement for teaching.

SusanElkinJourn 20:10#ukedchat More than tech I worry abut teacher attitude - them and

us, put downs etc. That's what we need to change.

#ukedchat does innovation breed contempt? We have to convince

teachers not schools to be innovative otherwise it can be a flash in

the pan

janwebb21 20:11 @SkoorBttaM can see some inititatives that have been tweaked sincetheir original intro (and falling by the wayside) #ukedchat

@SkoorBttaM I think what sometimes gets forgotten is that

sometimes full circle is more of a spiral /BUILDING on previous

success #ukedchat

@SusanElkinJourn I've started to notice the cycle after 16 years in

education :) I would hope each cycle gets refined and improved

#ukedchat

needs more attention than doing what we did 1st time #ukedchat

john_at_muuua 20:13my best teaching experience was in a Sri Lankan village. no electricity,

but completely socially aware and 'ahead of the times' #ukedchat

deerwood 20:13RT @deerwood: RT @dughall: RT @SusanElkinJourn: #ukedchat Tech

is a tool for learning

didactylos 20:13#ukedchat the 'mantra' we don't have time is a killer - its similar to I

don't have time to tidy my room - the payoff is easier if tidy

ianaddison 20:13@didactylos very good point, but why are some teachers not moving

with the times? are they too busy to re-learn? #ukedchat

some changes challenge pedagogies #ukedchat

needed to get outstanding results - not sats but FFT/ CVA etc

get rid of staff who deliberately combat positive change? #ukedchat

deerwood 20:16@stevebob79 @dughall @ianaddison is that in terms of using ICT or

provision (or both)? #ukedchat

lisacov19 20:16#Ukedchat the way to move forward is to utilise all ideas that are

available & what better way to share ideas than through multimedia?

very deep level

head, but chose the arts because the tech was easy.#ukedchat

squiggle7 20:17

with CPD, especially tech, needs to be drip fed and followed up. So

much CPD not passed on/given support to implement #ukedchat

didactylos 20:17#ukedchat have blogged about this - drew analogy with doctors and

would we tolerate them not keeping up to date?

DrAshCasey 20:17@Catriona_O but we need to do that as teachers within schools not

as schools with teachers. #ukedchat teachers maintain change

Catriona_O 20:18@DrAshCasey couldn't agree more. Therein the power to effect

meanigful change lies.....#ukedchat

janwebb21 20:18

potential...

seen as professional. We should continue our learning #ukedchat

not delivering curriculum so should not be 'outstanding' #ukedchat

@mr_chadwick #classblogs #ukedchat We are always saying the

same - good tech does not take more time but needs teacher to work

differently

innerquest 20:43ubiqutious technology, we're immersed in it, would we survive if we

lived 30 years agio? Hold on...we did! #ukedchat

IT aren't they? #ukedchat

TheHeadsOffice 20:44RT @Grevster73: #ukedchat tech works when it supports pedagogical

approaches, but hate it when the tail starts to wag the dog. >SO right!

SkoorBttaM 20:44@colport I heard the time excuse too- now the children write the

blog post!! #ukedchat

#ukedchat Behind the times? on my SCITT today trainees were

amazed when I mentioned QCA SoW for ICT that many still follow is

12yrs old

john_at_muuua 20:45@stevebob79 i remember learning about 'punch cards' in 'IT' in 1984.

It was ever thus! #ukedchat

colport 20:45 @skoorBttaM Good idea. Again, that is involving the pupil. Couldwork in KS2+ #ukedchat

didactylos 20:45#ukedchat got to say proper 'team teaching' can be a pretty good

way of moving people one - right teaming is vital

colport 20:45@janwebb21 Perhaps we need a pedagogy #ukedchat session?

[@TheHeadsOffice ]

jessamacookie 20:45@carolrainbow I hope the trend continues. Hate the idea I had in ITT

of 'teaching the test' to my yr2s #ukedchat

DrAshCasey 20:45

@Arakwai it might act as the catalyst for change but it is not what

keeps it going #ukedchat

DrAshCasey 20:46@TheHeadsOffice it is a shame how much we do waste and now we

are losing specialist schools. A sad day. #ukedchat

Paddymcgrath 20:46RT @lisacov19: @Paddymcgrath #ukedchat reflect -review -

reposition & move on

sellyeve 20:46@TheBadgerBloke 'dinosaurs' 'laggards' recent conference described

them as '1973 ford cortinas' - labels...makes me flinch! #ukedchat

innerquest 20:46 Perhaps the problem is that we're still engaged in a school systemfrom the Victorian era, should we be moving outside of it #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:46@colport I think you could be right! (when's my next moderation! )

in my school... #ukedchat

DeputyHeadDunn 20:46 @ianaddison plenty of those...what area? #ukedchat

Arakwai 20:46#ukedchat A good mentoring/coaching programme within a school

can support staff (and school) development if run well.

ianaddison 20:47

@dughall @colport @janwebb21 @TheHeadsOffice we need some

non-tech #ukedchat sessions i reckon

@ianaddison #ukedchat I find that free stuff from the web to
