Masters and the March

Saturday saw the biggest march in the history of the British trade union movement, with some saying 500,000 people turned out. This has not gone unnoticed. “The most sustained squeeze on living standards since the 1920s is about to hit the UK,” explains the Financial Times. “There is no telling how the general public will react, or indeed what will be the impact on the Coalition’s cohesion. Mr Osborne would be wise not to count his chickens just yet.” (FT, 27/3/11) More news...I've been writing part-time Masters courses in Literacy to join the Masters framework at my University. They will begin in September. One is the core literacy course which is concerned with literacy and learning and enriching the practice in classrooms from foundation to Key Stage 3 and the other concerns the texts - oral, written and multi-modal - which are used in schools. They are exciting courses which also involve teachers in their own creative participation. Sign-up now!
