  • Summary

  • Seeing the FutureIn episode 4 Eliza looks at how our broken school system is not just failing autistic young people but everyone. What can be done to make it better?All children want to learn, but sometimes the school environment makes this difficult. The pressure of league tables and efficiency and standards can mean children’s needs and wellbeing take a backseat. The focus is “content”, not the child, and the fallout is growing psychological distress among young people. Reports show children in the UK are doing extremely poorly in terms of their school satisfaction, life satisfaction and subjective wellbeing. A high number of our prison population have been failed by the education system.How far is the current school system out of date and fit for purpose in the 21st century? How far is school reflective of children’s lives and their lives outside school any more? Is it time to think more creatively about how we educate?  “Lots of people don't thrive in our current educational system. We need to think about education in a much wider way. What if when children are going to school age four or five, it's not a question of which school they go to, it's a question of how are they best going to learn.” Featuring:Eliza Fricker (@_MissingTheMark)Harry Thompson (@FidgetyF_cker), author of The PDA ParadoxKieran Rose (@KieranRose7), The Autistic AdvocateDr Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher), author of Changing Our MindsTom Vodden (@TVodden), teacher and trainerLiz Soper (@ASeatAtTheTabl4), A Seat At The TableDr Chris Bagley (@hiddendepths), Director of Research at States of MindGraham Brown-Martin (@GrahamBM), author of Learning ReimaginedResources:eliza@missingthemark.blogFacebook MissingTheMark1Missing the Mark blog Hosted on Acast.

Helpful and Informative

What a very informative listen. Thank you for the support you have given during these pod casts. It’s so nice to feel no one is on their own. As someone who lives in Wales the Welsh schools provide the least support and it’s shockingly difficult to get any help. We have to keep pushing education authorities to educate teachers. As a retired teacher in an ASD class we did regular insets but the school my granddaughter is in just keeps sending home negative feedback. Sad
