With ESSER support ending, school ecosystems will change as certain resources are paused. "How do we do that," asks Dr. Marlaina Palmeri, "and not put more burden on the shoulders of our teachers?" Teachers are feeling the lack of resources more than anyone else. As you look to support your staff with decreased funding, build in planning periods, collaborative time for educators, and simple moments to breathe. Check out the full conversation about pushing beyond ESSER funding. https://hubs.la/Q02DMhHl0

To build cultural capital for ALL students in our schools, excursions are crucial. They can spark an interest or create a career ambition that wasn't there before. Here's what we wrote about the importance of school trips in our new book, The Working Classroom (published by Crown House, November 2023): "One of the purposes of extra-curricular activities is to spark students’ interests. We first came across the term ‘sparking’ in Kaz Stuart and Lucy Maynard’s excellent book, Promoting Young People’s Empowerment and Agency: A Critical Framework for Practice.[1] The term refers to a course designer’s deliberate attempt to provide an experience which elicits the feeling of ‘I want to do that’ or ‘I’d like to be that’." Sadly, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that the current government has no interest in making life culturally richer for all. Government should work alongside companies (especially transport companies) to make it substantially easier and cheaper for schools to take trips. [1] K. Stuart and L. Maynard, Promoting Young People’s Empowerment and Agency: A Critical Framework for Practice (Abingdon and New York: Routledge, 2017).
