Jessica Meyer, UK, Secondary, Enquiring Minds, Opening Minds, Food Technology

An American trained to teach in England. For the last four years I've been part of the Enquiring Minds project and am now Head of Enquiring Minds. EM is a pupil led open research curriculum and is heavily reliant on new technologies, giving pupils forward thinking skills and to make their interests relevant. I'm a Design Technology teacher with a food focus.

Reflecting on education
A blog commenting on some of the experimental aspects of the projects I have been involved with. Reflections on results of the EM project and personal results for me and the pupils. Has lain fallow for a bit, but will be revived as of now!

Also have another blog called Cosmic Menu of Happiness, which is about home life, food and photography.

Jackie Blackman

Jackie Blackman, UK, Secondary, Religious Studies

I’m the Curriculum Team Leader for Religious and Social Studies (Psychology, Sociology & Critical Thinking) and I have also just been made Opening Minds Coordinator.

Opening Minds is a competency based curriculum which our yr 7 students (11 to 12 yrs old) will follow for 7 hours a week with the same teacher. Although the course is a skills based curriculum students will also receive their Religious Studies, History, Geography, Design & Technology entitlement as well as some ICT content.

The course was trialled this past year for 2 forms and is being extended across the whole year from September. Although the course was in place this year things such as assessment criteria and course content was not finalised. This has been my responsibility over the last few weeks and I am enjoying the challenge tremendously.

I have been teaching for 12 years in a school in London and I love my job. I’m passionate about thinking skills and ways of using technology to extend and deepen learning experiences.

RS Teacher

Opening Minds
I have only made this blog today (20th July 2008) and have not added to it yet – but it will eventually contain the ups and downs of my job as coordinator of Opening Minds – hopefully there will be things to interest everyone!
