The purpose of education

My understanding of the purpose of education is reflective in my classroom in the way that students can access a large variety of information both around the actual work and around the way that work is accessed, without ever asking me a question. I choose the posters and wall cover very carefully just for that reason. During lessons I offer several opportunities for any new learning to be put into practice as well as explaining any new skill that students pick up 'accidentally' so they have an understanding of what they know. I have also added more of the soft skills to all of my teaching, focusing on teamwork, collaboration, resilience so that I know they are developing skills that they will need later in life.
