This conference for teachers, school leaders and others with an interest in curriculum issues will address the question of the place of philosophy within secondary education.
- Is there a philosophical dimension to learning in all areas of the curriculum?
- What does it mean to take a philosophical approach to teaching?
- Should there be a philosophical core curriculum?
- Does the contemporary assessment-driven educational culture act to curtail free thought, and if so, what contribution does philosophy have to play in turning the tide?
- What practical steps can we take in order to transform our schools and colleges into places with an ethos of deep, critical, reflective enquiry?
