Unpublished writing
I have this in two sections at the moment, the first is on accounts and presentations created with an audience in mind, the other is proposals submitted to conferences.
oh - and the first section has now become a place to hang on to things I need to put elsewhere

Swaroop's keynote
I have worked on a number of accounts and presentations created with an audience in mind. I think the precision and care that is required to communicate to and with others contributes enormously to my own learning. It is thinking that is often unrecognised and undervalued but contributes to my theorising my own practice which is in the last 2 sections of the living TASC knot.
Usually when presenting to a group or 'running' INSET I have not gone to the level of care needed to produce an account; PowerPoint slides on a sheet is as good as it gets usually. However such notes dont give recognition to the educational influence I have had in my own learning nor the educational influence my 'audience' have had on my learning. It is often said the best way to learn is to teach but that is usually left at 'practice' and the opportunity to take the learning through to 'theorising' that practice is usually ignored or lost. Hmm... I have only just thought of that as I have worked on this section and recognised what learning I still need to do from the work I have done so far for the Teachers Leading programme. Luckily I have video from two of the introductory sessions and there is still an opportunity in March to collect video data from the third of the second sessions.
This is an example of what I mean by taking the care to learn from the opportunity to present
I prepared for a lecture to University of Bath PGCE students Feb 2007 on gifted and talented education.
I finished working on the transfer paper which I was examined on in February 2008. I scraped in under the wire transfered to the doctoral programme officially. I eventually managed to work with the questions my examiners gave me to to use the seminar to contribute to my research and develop this site .
I have worked on this 'Improving Educational Practice And Generating Educational Knowledge'. as a web page. This is as far as it got by 20th March 2009.
Proposals
I have written a number of proposals to present at conferences; some of which I have had accepted and some rejected. Writing the proposals has been an interesting challenge, as well as dealing with the acceptance or rejection of them, so I add both to illustrate the progress of my research.

How does engaging in living theory research help me to I improve my inclusive and inclusional praxis as a member of a Local Authority Children's Service?: Coming to know and improve what I am doing by walking my educational talk.paper
Huxtable, M. (2008) proposal submitted for the BERA 2008 conference. How do I improve my educational practice; supporting educators developing inclusive and inclusional theory and practice of gifts and talents as I respond to national developments
Presenting the paper was an experience - I discovered the night before I hadnt answered my question. Still, the rewrite was an improvement and in the course of doing it I recongised the values I use as explanatory principles and which form my living standards of judgment. How good does it get!
Huxtable, M and Whitehead, J. (2008) Developing Inclusive Gifted And Talented Educational Theory And Practice In Relation To Civic Responsibility proposal submitted for the BERA 2008 conference. Teacher CPD; an opportunity for teachers to develop their talents and create, value and offer their educational gifts?
What a conference! When we presented the paper I understood what Jack meant by the contribution we were making to a new epistemology.
Huxtable, M. (2008) proposal accepted for The 7th Conference of the Discourse, Power, Resistance Series 2008 Responding To Government Policy On Gifted And Talented Education Through Cultures In Resistance
Huxtable, M. (2007) proposal accepted for AERA S-STEP conference 2008. A generative response to the implementation of the inclusive educational values expressed in national strategies and policies through the development of energizing and creative educational spaces and relationships.
paper - in the unpublished. I sent it to be reviewed and they rejected it for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Still, bloodied but this time unbowed I worked with the reviewers comments to see if I could get it to a stage that I was happy with it and felt it responds to the criticisms ready for presentation in August 08. So this site also has my stories of ruin - and this is one in some respects. I have redrafted the paper and this is as far as it got by the day of presentation redraft. it has taken my thinking beyond so it was worth doing and I will return at a future date and look at the movement between the first and this latest version.
