Manifesto for a Creative Tallis

We received a massive 6 votes for statements to go in our Manifesto for a Creative Tallis. The two most popular were:

We would like better access to digital technologies

We would like more challenging, open-ended learning tasks

Despite the small number of votes, perhaps we could begin our debate about what to include in the Manifesto by considering these two statements. What else would like to be considered? Add your comments with suggestions for other statements, so that we can begin to construct the Manifesto, and have a think about how we should agree the contents and share the results with staff, students, parents and anyone else who might be interested.

Five Years' Time

Our Creative Agent, John Riches, ran a workshop at this year's staff conference in which he explored the notion that young people today know more about the world than their teachers did when they were young. The resulting debate was fascinating and resulted in those present making a video statement about the skills they would like young people to have in five years' time and their role in helping to make this happen.
