I wanted to make it “Cool to Care” but soon realised that to achieve this vision we had to empower young people with an ‘I can do’ approach to life. We had to give them the confidence and motivation to develop the real life skills that they needed to take personal responsibility for their health and to help others understand how they could manage their health. Healthy choices We researched over 500 young people and found that they weren’t asking adults, parents or teachers for advice they were asking friends; 1 in 8 young people will ask a friend for advice rather than an adult. Our approach therefore is to train young people in schools to teach other young people how to make healthy choices in a practical way.

openit 4 – Summer term 2012 A broad, rich, balanced and well-managed curriculum We asked Roger Sutcliffe, past President of SAPERE, for his observations. “There is convincing evidence to indicate that Open Futures supports and enhances children’s learning in the basic curriculum. This edition of openit contains many examples where askit, growit, cookit and filmit provide opportunities for pupils to understand, learn and apply literacy, numeracy, ICT and science skills. Open Futures is a fresh approach, teachers are reflecting on their role as teacher-learners, to the subtle benefit of their charges. Children relish the ‘hands on’ nature of Open Futures. Their enthusiasm for school is rekindled at the thought of gardening, cooking or filming. Such enthusiasm can sustain their commitment and concentration throughout the school day and in all areas of the curriculum. They can see, perhaps for the first time, that ‘the system’ is not biased against them and th

openit 3 – Spring term 2012 Professor David J K Leat Director, Centre for Learning & Teaching University of Newcastle Upon Tyne A P r ur lu r ed lu It is more than a year since the new coalition government announced that the proposals for the new primary curriculum from the last Labour government were being scrapped. The Cambridge Primary Review (CPR) seemed to have hit the right moment for its publication in providing an alternative vision of the curriculum built around strong educational principles. The CPR team certainly had a number of meetings with the DfE and although there was common ground in the significance of subjects in the curriculum, there is little reason currently to believe that the CPR proposals will be strongly reflected in a new curriculum framework. (See page 16, “Where are we now?”, Bob Pavard).
