DESCRIPTION:Commenting on political hints that central direction of the wo
 rk of primary teachers might be relaxed after thirteen years of what has b
 een called a 'state theory of learning'\, the final report of the Cambridg
 e Primary Review warned that 'a process which has concentrated\nso much po
 wer at the centre\, and over the course of two decades has so decisively r
 e-configured the relationship between government and teachers\, cannot be 
 instantly unpicked.' At this seminar\, Robin Alexander\, the Review's dire
 ctor\, will rehearse the evidence that led to the Review's diagnosis and w
 ill invite participants to join in discussion of how professional re-empow
 erment can be achieved in a way that doesn't replace compliance and depend
 ence by non-accountable\nlicense.\n
