Creative Conversation – your invitation to ‘Monkey Man’
Friday 10th March
Lunch is from 1pm and the Creative Conversation begins at 2pm. As ever – think about leaving your car at home so you can enjoy a glass of wine with colleagues and continue the conversation from about 3.15/3.30. The venue details will follow with your confirmation of a place.
The Creative Catalyst for ‘Monkey Man’ is Jonathan Lear. He is not very well known in Scotland – yet – but like Hywel Roberts, he will be after this!
Jonathan has a great lesson based on a documentary about primates. It then moves into the big questions about what curriculum is and what it should be. It is full of big debates about creativity, independence, problem solving and some of the big issues of visible learning. It is also very practical and focussed on the experience of learners and it is incredibly entertaining.
Jonathan has that blend that Hywel Roberts has between big ideas and takeaways that you can put into practice straightaway. It is another conversation that shouldn’t be missed. No wonder all these people are singing about him!!
If you and a colleague would like to attend please get back to me ASAP and by 12noon on Thursday 11th at the latest.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
