These would be great for any and all people interested in Shakespeare but think if if @mtpt_project people on mat/pat leave who fancy some free brilliant CPD this could be lovely. I loved a webinar on mat leave

Free webinars? On every Shakespeare play? With Emma Smith?
You're a fool if you miss these.

In fact drilling in English can risk ironing out complexities, lead to stale thinking rather than ongoing fresh insights, reduce the subject to a single right answer rather than multiple ones, over-play the use of learning multiple quotations, take time away from dialogue.

Too. Much. ‘Consistency’… Or perscriptivism. Too many meetings. Behaviour being poor. Total lack of trust. Total lack of freedom. Consistency and control freaks and admin and meetings are killing education.

The outraged binary responses to this are incredibly unhelpful. Of course flaws in the current curriculum aren’t responsible for *all* behaviour problems in school! But are they a part of the problem? Yes. There is a long list of reasons & a list of things that can be done…1/

There's quite a consensus that English urgently *needs* reform & that the texts on offer need to be part of this - Awarding Bodies, academic English communities, English teachers, ITT. See this report of a recent big meeting on this: englishassociation.ac.uk/sum…

The EMC download publication has a very strong focus on the play as drama, by the way, as well as offering work on scenes critical and contextuel material. englishandmedia.co.uk/public…
I've been re-reading 'An Inspector Calls' for a workshop I'm doing in a school in Jan. It's interesting coming back to it again after a couple of years. I've been working up a creative-critical activity that has highlighted a few fresh things for me about Priestley's approach. 1/
