Gert Biesta says that teaching is pointing, the art of redirecting someone’s attention. Teaching is not facilitating, in teaching we give. Curriculum is giving our students what they didn’t ask for, because they didn’t know they could ask for it (thought of @garystager.bsky.social) #icsei2025

Gert Biesta speaks about schools as free time (Greek word). Time not yet claimed by society, time we set free the new generation, so the new generation can explore and experiment. #icsei2025

Gert Biesta identifies three core domains of education—qualification, socialisation, and subjectification—which must be balanced thoughtfully, as what benefits one domain may harm another. His analogy is with a three-dimensional chess game, where any one move affects all three games. #icsei2025

🎯 Gert Biesta argues that education should help students become subjects of their own lives. 👉 Teaching is pointing and giving students what they didn’t know to ask for. 👉 Schools should be spaces of exploration. 👉 Education should help us ask: Which desires are worth desiring? #icsei2025

The education system’s capacity for reinventing old ideas in shiny new packaging is truly remarkable. Is it partly because very few people study the history of education anymore?

“When students internalize the concept that they really can teach and learn from one another, rather than relying on their teacher to deliver information to them, they will feel more empowered in their own education.” (Alice, Power of Making Thinking Visible participant 2025)

We are destroying Nature - the very thing that sustains us. If we truly love this place we should look after it, pass laws to protect it and make decisions like we’re here for a long time. It seems neither major party is capable of that.

Every healthy organisation needs rebels. But constructive rebels: those who challenge the status quo when it is inequitable; those who call out unethical behaviour when keeping quiet is easier; those who create better ways of doing things against the orthodoxy; those who ask why conventions…
