ABOUT TiE – WHAT WE DO
The aim of TRANSFORM-iN EDUCATION is to foster conversations between all those interested in achieving the balance between conformity and transformation in education. This includes teachers, pupils, researchers, parents, friends, governors, and policy makers.
The small i in TRANSFORM-iN EDUCATION suggests the possibilities for transformation within the dominant model of conformity and certainty in global schooling.
TRANSFORM-iN EDUCATION does not prescribe how to teach, but invites all those who work with children and young people to develop spaces and strategies for uncertainty, to fit their own context. The aim is to learn with children, young people and teachers, and other adults, and to share experiences within and across schools. This is done by fitting into what children, young people and adults are already doing, rather than creating an additional burden.
Our work on how to educate for uncertainty is informed by theory, research, policy and our own practice (read more here). We organise workshops for adults, children and young people in individual schools. We also organise and attend events for educational professionals and researchers to explore how to engage with uncertainty in schooling as well as other areas of education. This includes early years, further and higher education, and informal education settings. These events, together with our own and other people’s research, continue to inform and re-shape our thinking.
The incliningi in TRANSFORM-iN EDUCATION highlights an ethical disposition of coming together to listen closely: to share and to co-construct new avenues for research and impact.
