Martin Robinson has had a long and impactful career as a writer, education consultant, and teacher of drama. He taught in East London secondary schools for over 20 years before taking voluntary redundancy and starting a new chapter as a consultant. Martin's passion for education led him to write his first book, "Trivium 21st Century," which focuses on the idea of classical education through the lens of the Trivium (grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric). He is a firm believer in the power of classical education to help children think critically and approach the world with fresh perspectives.
Martin's latest book, "Curriculum Revolutions," is about the ever-evolving process of curriculum design and redesign. He argues that curriculum is not a static entity, but rather a dynamic and constantly evolving system that requires continuous assessment and improvement. The central thesis of the book is that knowledge leads to more knowledge, and Martin believes that a well-designed curriculum can provide students with the tools they need to acquire knowledge and continue learning throughout their lives.
Martin is a speaker at the Embley Education Conference, which takes place on 14 April 2023. To find out more about the conference and to book your place, please visit www.embley.org.uk/conference
