Brighton - pier and pavilion
Greetings from Brighton - an historical, contradictory and
creative town in which we work as teachers and researchers
![Page 3: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wonder …
– What would happen if….?– How do we make sense of …..?– Why do we feel like this …..?– How might things look differently …..?– Who else shares these questions and
longings……?
…the emergence of ‘Creating Spaces’
![Page 4: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Theory ….
– How might we find ways to describe and explain what’s going on?
– How might we make sense of how we see the world?
– How might we need to change the way we see the world?
– What might creativity look like when expressed through tools such as ICT?
… the development of conceptual frameworks

Action ….
– What might this look like in the context of teacher education?
– What challenges does it raise for our understanding of professional knowledge and creativity?
– How might active, practical projects be a catalyst for change in teacher education, in research, and in policy?
…the design of a series of research and development projects in our practice

Creating Spaces ~
• Some numbers ~ – 2000, 5, 30, 60, 15, 5, 2 ……..
• Sharing ideas, capturing moments, helping each other to think and act in our different contexts

Notworking ……
• … a conference that was not a conference, but a space and time for people to share and explore ideas through talk, play, drama, eating and drinking, and enjoying themselves……..

• Individuals in local communities and wider social and cultural groupings
• Learning to learn - asking questions, solving problems, thinking on appropriate scales, looking for patterns, coping with disappointment, mapping out and representing subject domains, acting in relationship to others.

Can we develop a conceptual framework for thinking
about creativity?
![Page 26: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How might this inform our understanding of
professional learning in teacher education and
transition?

How do we represent what we are seeing in our developing practice and research?

Themes emerging ……
• Conditions for creative practices– contexts and communities, – habits of mind or add-on activities?
• Transitional identities– capable, critical students to untested,
pragmatic first year teachers• ICT and digital media - a matter of trust
– Tools, treats and teaching resource– Pedagogy, epistemology and expectations
• Taking a different view of our teacher education practices– catalysts for change

Models of creative practice….
High expectations of activity, reflection and analysis;
Permission to question, explore, risk, and collaborate;
Acceptance of students as capable;
Mindful of preparation for transition.
![Page 39: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Finding openings for developing new modes of working in the field …..
… non traditional settings… arts based educational
research…research based practice
Research-based practice in teacher
education
![Page 40: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Analysis & Representation
• How do we find appropriate modes in which to represent our analysis, theory and practices?
• How do these modes of representation reflect an integrity in our use of the technologies, and in our purposes for education in the 21st century?
![Page 41: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Balance…..??
• Productivity, motivation, ability, creativity…..
• Conformist• Rebel• Withdrawn/diminished• Transcend/balance
From Suzanne Richter, 1990
![Page 43: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Impact and implications
• What are the implications of creativity becoming more ‘mainstream’?
• How might we recognise and sustain the creative tension and energy that is generated from ‘the margins’?
![Page 44: Moving from the Margins…… Creating Spaces in teacher education: wonder, theory and action](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151ac550346895dbfdaf8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
It takes courage to see things from a different perspective……
• Resist easy measurement;• Support the difficult and challenging
research on recognising and evaluating interaction, process and community;
• Support longitudinal studies of people’s creative trajectories;
• Show courage, care and community
