This week wasnt about cramming in new content or racing toward a testit was about building something that lasted. We used a layered mix of retrieval, reading, analysis, structured writing, and reflection, and each protocol helped us answer a bigger question. Coming off spring break, I knew students would need structure but also some momentum. So I stacked the lessons with intention.

Meritocracy as Authoritarian Co-Optation: Political Selection and Upward Mobility in China By Hanzhang Liu , Pitzer College. Why does an authoritarian regime adopt meritocracy in its political selection? I argue that meritocracy can be used to co-opt large numbers of ordinary citizens by providing them with an opportunity of socioeconomic advancement instead of income redistribution, as long as the selection process is viewed as inclusive and rule-based.

Another milestone on LivingGeography with the publishing of the 13 000th blog post. Thanks for reading (over 7.5 million page views since I started the blog back in 2008).
In my book 'Pedagogy and Education for Life: A Christian Reframing of Teaching, Learning and Formation' I argue that Christian education and pedagogy must be rooted in an understanding of God's people in-between this life and the next. We are shaped as we engage with others, and move in and out of varied 'communities of practice'. This is a reality for our students as they attend our schools, for it is one of the many 'communities of practice' they inhabit.
Thanks to Matt from the British Ecological Society for the message he added to my GCSE Natural History blog.

I'm just back from the 2nd of my Easter trips: this time to Paris. It was a great trip, a real highlight of which was the David Hockney 25 exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The building itself is stunning, designed by Frank Gehry and looking like the billowing sails of a galleon from the front. It's in the Bois de Boulogne, which is a Metro ride out from the centre: a lovely area.
While in Paris, I of course had to make my way to Saint Sulpice. It was in this square outside several cafes, which I visited, that the writer Georges Perec sat to try to "exhaust a place in Paris" by observing all the small things that happened while he was there over the course of three days. I visited the cafe where there is a plaque which references his famous book written with no use of the letter 'e' and sat on the benches where he sat.
