Music can be used in lots of ways; for example a song with Spanish lyrics can be used to teach a foreign language. I've also heard one instance of a teacher playing music and then letting the students write or interpret a story based on the music for an English class. That sounded pretty creative to me. </p>

That's why it's super important to pick a line of work you enjoy. </p>Stuart Sutherland commented on 'Marc Prensky on Passion-based Learning'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e20147e0d865c5970b2010-12-19T19:12:04Z2010-12-19T19:12:04ZStuart Sutherlandhttp://stuartsutherland.comThanks for the post Ewan and the pointer to that interview which is a good stimulating piece.

<p>I'm aware of several primary schools which adopt passion-based or negotiated learning in a very deep manner. Rosendale and Christchurch primaries in Dulwich and Brixton are two such schools. I briefly interviewed their Executive Head, Neil Hopkin, about their approach to negotiated learning at the recent SSAT conference. The interview is on Audioboo here:</p>
