In this episode of Talking D&T, I reflect on my thought-provoking conversation with David Spendlove from Tuesday's episode. David's radical ideas about design and technology education, particularly his challenge to move away from unsustainable consumerism and embed critical thinking about values and politics, got me thinking about what this might look like in practice for D&T teachers.
I explore how we can reimagine D&T lessons to put values and sustainability at the heart, moving away from designing and making products that may end up in the bin. I suggest reframing design projects to focus on systemic solutions, emphasizing design for longevity, repair, and reuse, and encouraging critical discussions about the ethics of design.
For younger children, I propose using storytelling, imaginative play, and hands-on material collections to explore sustainability and empathy. I also highlight the importance of setting design challenges within children's own experiences and concerns while pushing them to understand others' perspectives.
Throughout the episode, I offer practical strategies and ideas for teachers to incorporate these principles into their classrooms. I conclude by inviting listeners to consider whether we need a radical rethink of D&T education or if opportunities for change already exist within the current curriculum framework.
