"Good teachers do, great teachers think." Oliver Quinlan presents ideas from education, business, and other areas of life that teachers and educational leaders can use to enhance and explore their thinking. In order to progress we must philosophize about learning, question traditional practice, and be resourceful in providing solutions for better education. The only way the education system can improve standards and be at its best is by ensuring that those who govern it don't stop thinking about it! Innovation is the key to our progress as individuals and society as a whole. Oliver Quinlan is an educator with experience from Early Years and Primary to Higher Education. His background has involved developing the use of new technologies and pedagogical approaches based on authentic communication with children and new and existing teachers. Since being a school teacher, Oliver has been a Lecturer in Education and Plymouth University and is now Programme Manager for Digital Education at Nesta, working on innovation projects in Education. |
