Just pasting some recent tweets from Sir Michael Barber, the Chief Education Advisor for Pearson. (FYI, Pearson is one of the big corporate groups getting rich from implementing Common Core.)
Sir Michael Barber is all about one-world indoctrination.
Check him out. He talks about revolution. He talks about gun control and U.S. politics. He quotes someone talking about ending the “promised land” of Jerusalem and turning it into a place that belongs to everyone, not to Jews. He talks about the environment. And he talks about education reform as if everyone knew what he means by the term. And most don’t.
His definiton of education reform means a one-world, top-down, global education with an emphasis away from academics and sovereignty and toward environmentalism and collectivism. IS THIS NOT CREEPY TO YOU?
Sir Michael Barber@MichaelBarber9Had a fantastic visit to Singapore — many great conversations about the topics in Oceans of Innovation! Read here:http://www.ippr.org/publication/55/9543/oceans-of-innovation-the-atlantic-the-pacific-global-leadership-and-the-future-of-education …
Everywhere I go signs of the university revolution to come. This time with HE and business leaders in Manila, really open to innovation.
Great meeting yesterday with team at Mano Amiga primary school in Manila…educators truly committed to rounded education for each child.
Excited for a conversation at @NESTA_UK with @geoffmulgan on Oceans of Innovation. Please join us 5 Dec at 8:30am. http://www.nesta.org.uk/events/assets/events/bring_on_the_whole_system_education_revolution …
And the same school giving 10 percent of schedule to collective capacity building…harder work, said one teacher, but much more rewarding
Visit to Branco Weiss School, Beit Shemesh. Great to see a school systematically teaching thinking and leadership as well as knowledge.
Golden age ahead for universities in England…if they are ready to change rapidly. What examples are there of getting ahead of the curve?

@teachplus @educationgadfly Provocative and insightful perspectives on the union influence on US education policy from top think tank
If only we’d implemented the Hadow Report of 1926 better! As it is unlike Poland in England we never quite got early adolescent ed right
Also Poland created lower secondary schools for age 12-15 a decade ago and really invested in facilities and teachers and tests. It worked!
School visits in Warsaw…impressed by the commitment to broad common curriculum and standards up to age 17, even in vocational schools.

@krdonnelly This is a fantastic connection…Thank you…the revolution is coming!
Anyone got 3 proven examples of technology transforming educational outcomes at system level? school level helpful, system level better!
@Andrew_Adonis Yes, not being on the mainline had massive consequences for Northampton including failure of public services as late as 2003
Theodore Herzl: we shall extra-territorialize Jerusalem… it will belong to nobody and everybody…the joint possession of all believers.”
@JSHaworth Not everyday you get the chance to say hello to @JSHaworth either…
@ArsenalAlys @guardian Totally agree! Also, it was John Major’s office for a while when No10 was being refurbished after the IRA bomb.
What are the five biggest questions that we’d like education researchers to answer?
When will the US Presidential candidates have a genuine debate about gun control? Too much obfuscation.
‘Education is the only way we can defeat those who attacked us’, says friend of @malala. Yes, and it is the key to Pakistan’s future.
@SteveGovernor Given the degree of educational failure around the world the case for change is strong… making the right changes is the key
@tothechalkface Fair point but often speed and quality go together…also why should we let down another generation in developing world?
Malala Yousufzai – every true educator, every true learner in the world surely stands by you.
I hear people say education reform is moving too fast…the response surely is how long have we got?
@JasmineatSC yes, thanks, Oceans focuses mainly on developed world. Our work in Pakistan is focused on access and quality for the excluded.
@saadhrizvi Good article. US is making a big mistake and turning it’s back on the evidence we cite in #OceansofInnovation
Reading about Mercator the great geographer…the benefit of life in the Low Countries, then the centre of trade in goods and ideas
@m_rhee Greetings! Fast growing voucher scheme for out-of-school children of poor families benefits 140,000 in Punjab. Working well.
@HaseebAfsar Thank you…if everyone in Pakistan gets behind the education agenda we can ensure a better life for the next generation
Interesting discussion in New York of goals for education in 21C. By when will we have have high standards and high equity across the globe?
