Product reviews for Manglish
ZoÃ'« Elder, author of Full On Learning, Independent Educational Consultant, Senior Leader at Clevedon School and Director of The Clevedon Learning Hub
In 'Manglish', Lisa Jane Ashes presents her answer to a critical key question for any curriculum designers: “What is the purpose of the KS3 curriculum?” Her answer is 'Manglish'.
'Manglish' invites teachers and pupils to identify and share the opportunities and connections that exist between subjects and be ambitious in finding ways to develop these even further. The goal to develop independent, self-aware learners by KS3 teachers is placed firmly at the heart of this book. The result is a practical, creative and inspirational solution to the problem of disjointed and incoherent learning experiences in KS3.
'Manglish' is an invaluable guide for anybody who wants to break down subject barriers and design engaging, purposeful and meaningful learning opportunities across KS3. Lisa Jane Ashes draws on her wealth of school-based experiences to present a step-by-step guide that invites teachers to break down compartmentalised curriculum planning and open it up to the possibilities of thinking, writing and calculating in all subjects.
This book is practical and thought-provoking in equal measure. Lisa Jane Ashes provides coherent templates for collaborative planning and addresses some pertinent questions along the way. Beyond this, she encourages teachers to unleash their creativity and subject expertise, suggesting innovative ideas for connecting themes, concepts and transferable skills across the curriculum. 'Manglish' shows teachers how pupils can actively improve their reading, writing, communication and mathematical skills both in and across every subject.
Embracing a -˜Manglish Mindset' allows teachers and pupils to drain every last droplet of learning out of the KS3 curriculum. This approach inspires teachers to go beyond simply introducing literacy and numeracy across the curriculum. This connected approach to curriculum and lesson design releases the potential of purposeful reading in science, shows us what quality writing in history looks like, what powerful communication in art feels like and what confident numeracy in geography can result in for every pupil in KS3. Thinking in this way enables pupils to make connections between concepts that might, in a pre-'Manglish' curriculum, seem entirely unrelated. The 'Manglish' approach results in pupils being able to create new ideas and apply knowledge and skills from across the curriculum.
In 'Manglish', Lisa Jane Ashes has gleefully taken up the gauntlet of developing literacy and numeracy across the curriculum. 'Manglish' is both a personal story and a professional guide. Lisa Jane Ashes shows us how to create coherence in KS3 curriculum planning and the result is an imaginative and eminently practical guide for everybody involved in curriculum design. 'Manglish' will inform thinking, stimulate discussion and, most importantly, design purposeful and meaningful learning opportunities for every pupil in KS3.
