Been sharing this with a few folk individually recently but might as well share it further for anyone else interested. A paper I wrote for Anarchist Studies journal making an anarchist critique of attempts at ‘character education’ in English state schools. How can teachers in such contexts be role models of character when to succeed professionally we become riddled with vice? https://journals.lwbooks.co.uk/anarchiststudies/vol-29-issue-2/article-9445/

I teach #Bahai children's classes, based on a curriculum offered by the Ruhi Institute in Colombia. Was trained up in the early 2000s at a time when I wasn't really sure whether I would have a future in #education, but never looked back. Something about the experience unlocked a love of teaching, and a special regard for #MoralEducation and #CharacterEducation. Also spent some time in workshops on the #Virtues Project and Positive Discipline.
