Tomorrow we will be discussing MoE and its continuing place of prominence in our learning agenda.
There will be almost complete agreement, as far as I am aware, that students will continue to use MoE as a prime driver in their learning and teaching.
There will, however, be some disagreement about how long into courses students will be happy to do so.
I'm not a great fan of this kind of meeting.
Why?
Well to be frank I'd like to hear more from the students themselves. Not all my colleagues think this is a good idea. And so on.
MoE, if it does nothing else, breaks down barriers between teachers and learners. It empowers independence and creativity, always an important resource for progression in learning.
So we will have our discussion.
Decisions will be made.
Action will be taken.
Students will then be told about the meeting.
By me.
They will then want to have a meeting to discuss the decisions.
Why?
Well each year my students are clearly recognising their increasing ownership of their own learning agenda.
This has left me me wondering; how long will it be before the students will be notifying me, and my colleagues, of decisions made at their meetings?
It will happen, won't it?
