Dear colleagues,
The Unlesson Manifesto aims to network like-minded educators who are fed up with having their creativity and professionalism undermined and want to take this opportunity to thank you for seeking out our blog. We encourage you to share it with other teaching friends and acquaintances you have who are keen to peel back the years of political prescription teaching. Join us for one lesson on the 1st April, avoid prescriptive lesson directives and involve your students in unknown adventures in learning. Please share your activities on the blog. As Paulo Friere says:
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”

We look forward to seeing many of you at the NUT rally tomorrow and to hearing about your Lesson(in)Action.
