I've been through so many educational fads, in my time as a teacher, that it's difficult not to be cynical. When I first started teaching it was all about Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic learners. Then brain gyms, then multiple intelligences, then personality typing. To be honest, I've lost track of the number of new strategies that I've had CPD for in those first few days back at school every September. Mindfulness was just starting to creep in when I quit the formal education game. I'd bet that it'll be gone within five years, replaced with some new and shiny fad.
