ABOUT TiE – WHAT WE DO
We aim 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.
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.
The small i in TRANSFORM-iN EDUCATION suggests the possibilities for transformation within the dominant model of conformity and certainty.
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.
We undertake research on how to educate for uncertainty. 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 conformity and transformation 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.
