In his presentation at the Naace Strategic conference 2008, Ewan makes a few
interesting points....
For example, Ewan does not believe that there is such a thing as a key
influencer. He also thinks that institutions, such as the Qualifications and
Curriculum Authority, are not as important as what I suppose might be called
"People Power". I think there is something in that, definitely. I have thought
for a long time that it's a pity that schools and teachers in the UK are so
frightened by league tables that they are, on the whole, very reluctant to take
any risks.
I thought the presentation itself was lively and provocative. I have to say I
enjoyed it, even though I disagreed with some of it, such as the idea that there
is no such thing as a tipping point or a key influencer.
Anyway, have a listen, and judge for yourself.
