Barefoot Social Worker www.radical.org.uk/barefoot/"Social work is going through a crisis caused by confusion about the values and role of social workers. Increasing professionalisation is not the answer. What is needed is a radical approach which reconsiders the notion of professionalism and challenges the prevailing culture of managerialism. This collection of articles seeks to bring a radical perspective to contemporary social issues and social work practice."

Wendy Priesnitz Blog www.wendypriesnitz.com/index.html"Children dont need to be taught how to learn; they are born learners. They come out of the womb interacting with and exploring their surroundings. Babies are active learners, their burning curiosity motivating them to learn how the world works. And if they are given a safe supportive environment, they will continue to learn hungrily and naturally- in the manner and at the speed that suits them best."

Cambridge Primary Review www.primaryreview.org.uk/The Cambridge Primary Review was a wide-ranging independent enquiry into the condition and future of primary education in England begun in October 2006 & published in October 2009.Between October 2007 and May 2008 the Review published as interim reports 28 research surveys and an account of the 2007 regional Community Soundings. In February 2009 it published a two-volume special report on the primary curriculum. The launch of the Review was preceded by nearly three years of planning and by consultation with government, opposition parties, DfES/DCSF officials, the all-party Commons Education and Skills (now Children, Schools and Families) Committee, public bodies involved in the primary phase of education, the teaching unions and a range of other interested organisations. The Review was initiated and directed by Professor Robin Alexander, Fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge and Professor of Education Emeritus at the University of Warwick. Its Advisory Committee chaired by Dame Gillian Pugh, Visiting Professor at the University of London Institute of Education, Chair of the National Childrenʼs Bureau and formerly Chief Executive of Coram Family.

DEFENDING LIBERTARIANISM: A THINKING POINT FOR EDUCATIONALISTS by REBECCA GREEVES webcache.googleusercontent.com... (more)"Here I want to defend arguments for a libertarian society, which would have major implications for the structuring of our education system. Accepting libertarianism would mean ridding ourselves of heavy state involvement in education, supporting a system of school choice, accepting diversity of educational provision and consumption, and acknowledging that there is no moral obligation for parents to send their children to common schools."

Schooling the World- The White Man's Last Burden by 'Lost People Films'. schoolingtheworld.org"If you wanted to change an ancient culture in a generation, how would you do it? You would change the way it educates its children. The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Today, volunteers build schools in traditional societies around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a "better" life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture's way of learning and understanding the world with our own? Schooling the World: The White Man's Last Burden takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world's last sustainable indigenous cultures. "Generations from now, we'll look back and say, 'How could we have done this kind of thing to people?'"
