'The very thing that makes the teacher irreplaceable in the institutional version of curriculum theorising is the very thing being given away in the hybrid version.'

Everything you know about curriculum is right, and that's the problem. The ‘knowledge turn’ made the curriculum appear stable, but AI is pulling it apart. My latest blog post referencing my guest lecture at The University of Buckingham Faculty of Education. open.substack.com/pub/nickdenn...

Really enjoyed this morning's session with the University of Buckingham Faculty of Education’s MEd students discussing what we mean by 'curriculum' and how the 'knowledge turn' has become the default position (and what this now means). Thanks to Bethany Kelly for the invitation!

Excellent post
