·         26th May | 4.30pm – 6.30pm @ Camelon Education Centre, Falkirk –  Dennis Guiney, Educational Psychologist and Author http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2545883

 

 

We will be joined on the 16th May by Hywel Roberts, Teacher, Educationalist and Author (with an energy and a humour that is infectious) who will be asking those that join us to reclaim our professional imaginations and IMAGINEER THE CURRICULUM.  We highly recommend hearing Hywel speak if you are interested in exploring approaches that make learning real for young people and reimagining learning (in under 2 hours!). You can find out more about Hywel and his work at www.createlearninspire.co.uk.  See Hywel in action in 2014:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsdJr5cqvAs  Hywel has also written two books which can be found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hywel-Roberts/e/B005R3TTD4

 

On Thursday the 26th May we will be joined by Dennis Guiney, Educational Psychologist and Author who will be asking us all to DARE TO DREAM. 

Dennis wrote an inspiring article in TESS back in September 2015 which sent us on a path of discovery to find him.  We have attached the article below.  His article asked why, when we know more about how education works than ever before, the basic model has barely changed in decades.  In this interactive conversation Dennis will use a potted form of Appreciative Inquiry to support teachers to try a bit of the dreaming stage of AI which can support teacher led curriculum creativity.   Alongside Tim O’ Brien, Dennis wrote ‘Differentiation in Teaching and Learning: Principles and Practice’.

 

For further information about the Creative Conversations and how to book tickets please see the leaflets attached below. 

 

If you are able to put these up in your school / college staff room, office, notice board or send this email to staff we would be very grateful if you could share this information wider.

 

If you need any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch with either myself at creativelearning@stirling.gov.uk or Gayle Martin in Falkirk at Gayle.Martin@falkirk.gov.uk

 

We hope you can join us.

 

Kind Regards
