My latest article ‘Exploring dialogic teaching of GCSE English Literature within increasingly regulated school environments’ can be read in English in Education. Below is a little snippet of the article. It came about, I think, because I’m trying to reconcile (and somewhat failing) the dichotomy between exploring thought, learning, and so on, with the ever-present drive for constraint and compliance within institutions. The two don’t go together. A compliant class is not freely explorative. A freely explorative class cannot be compliant. It’s a dilemma. Anyway, I wrote about it here.
