Palmar venous arches: Receives palmar metacarpal and digital veins. Drain into radial and ulnar veins. Goodhart’s point is that this may be the case, but something new has happened. The world has been remade in the image of the brightest and the cleverest, to the exclusion of other human qualities - ones that are needed socially and economically. If you’re experiencing any involuntary head twitching, it’s best to make an appointment with your doctor. If you don’t already have a provider, our Healthline FindCare tool can help you connect to physicians in your area. They can evaluate you and set up a treatment plan based on the root cause of your head twitching. In many respects, Goodhart has written the metanarrative that shows why this reform must remain central to the priorities of this government (and of any other). It is a reminder that education and skills policy does not exist in isolation from wider economic policy and has the power to frustrate as much as create opportunity. We have an expensive system that produces too much of the same thing and needs reform. The following were the responses of the PTs to the question of why it was ‘necessary to have a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts (beyond the level covered within the curriculum studies courses) in primary mathematics.’ In total, there were 48 responses to this question. Twenty-nine responses were considered to be in direct response to the question and they are listed below.

The Heart: Inspire and empower your people. When transformations were viewed as one-off, short-term programs, inspiring and empowering people wasn’t seen as being essential to them; in fact, people were often treated as a means to an end or, worse, as collateral damage. But successful transformation today depends on people who are engaged and motivated to go above and beyond. Organizations can create this condition through a set of heart “practices.” What does this mean? Leaders invest time and energy in articulating, activating, and embedding the organization’s purpose. Companies create an empowering culture, shaped by leaders, that allows people to do their best work. They also demonstrate care for those whose lives are disrupted by the change—not only departing employees but those who remain to carry out the new vision. Finally, senior managers exercise a more holistic form of leadership: they clarify and navigate, they include and empower, and they delegate and enable their people and teams.This meant that we were kept busy working out how to show how we were supporting our pupils to achieve economic wellbeing - and be both happy and healthy - alongside academic success. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview/preventing-problems/nerve-damage-diabetic-neuropathies/focal-neuropathies Thenar group: abductor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis How many commentators did Radio 4 produce to opine that “lives were ruined” if university was not an option? How many of those commentators gave a thought for the 50 per cent who did not go anyway? How many criticised the application of the algorithm (flawed as it may have been) but failed to mention that such algorithms are used every year to exclude 50 per cent of 16-year-olds from the race for selected places? It means our provision must really take seriously how we meet all of those needs of our pupils, and how we design and deliver a serious “heart” curriculum, ensuring that children are in a good state to be able to learn, whatever their needs might be.

One of the problems, Goodhart points out, is if we are going to use intelligence to select the best, and are intent on using academic achievement as the proxy for it, the vast majority of us are somewhere bunched together in the middle of the ability spectrum. And we are all being measured by a very narrow set of criteria that has come to exclude many of the other qualities we may have and that our society needs. The ulnar nerve enters the hand under the superficial part of the flexor retinaculum (in Guyon’s canal) after which it divides into the deep and superficial branches. The deep branch is mainly motor and supplies the hypothenar, interossei and medial two lumbricals muscles. The superficial branch is mainly sensory but also innervates the palmaris brevis muscle; it provides palmar and dorsal cutaneous innervation to the little finger and medial half of the ring finger. Study tip: The ulnar nerve innervates all intrinsic muscles except the LOAF: Lateral two lumbricals, Opponens pollicis, Abductor pollicis brevis, Flexor pollicis brevis with supply by the median nerve. Brexit was the trigger for these differences to come to a head, but underneath them were long-term social, economic and political processes, with the Anywheres dominating. The cognitive takeover

Which topics in Further Mathematics Topics do you find irrelevant to your teaching in Primary Mathematics? Why do you think they are irrelevant? (N.A. if not applicable) Head Hand Heart expends more time and effort on dismantling the existing hierarchy of esteem than it does on constructing a new one. The problem facing societies such as Britain’s, Goodhart argues, is that they have become in thrall to a single metric of achievement – academic tests. Economic success, self-respect, political representation and wellbeing are all tied to performance in a single sphere of human endeavour, that of abstract reasoning and knowledge processing. Other forms of human ability (tagged as “Hand” and “Heart”) become afterthoughts, either left to those who have failed academically, or to be fitted in around cognitive work. Degrees once signalled exceptional cognitive ability, but as they become the norm they lose this distinguishing function Median nerve and its branches (common and proper palmar digital nerves) predominantly supply the thenar muscles.

General appreciation. ‘Helping students think like a mathematician, i.e. use abstract thinking, helps them appreciate better why they are learning it (not for exams).’ I find that the Subject Knowledge courses (ASM Series) have helped me to better understand my Curriculum Studies (ACM Series: Teaching and Learning of Primary Mathematics) courses. In 2006, when I started as headteacher of Surrey Square Primary School in Southwark, South London, inspection was based on the “Every Child Matters” framework. Goodhart also turns his attention to the neglected skills and qualities of “hand” and “heart”, pushed aside as the graduate route became established as the only real option for ambitious young people. He maps the decline of skilled trades and the low status of non-graduate work, particularly in areas such as nursing and social care. The book was mostly written long before the health crisis, and Goodhart pleads “guilty to Covid confirmation bias – the tendency to see your own assumptions about how the world should evolve confirmed by the pandemic”. To the extent that “essential workers” and NHS staff were extolled over the spring of 2020, while many “knowledge workers” sat at home on Zoom, his central argument – that we have paid insufficient respect to manual and care-based work – stands up well under the circumstances. And while there is no evidence of schadenfreude for the predicament that universities now find themselves in, Goodhart and his publishers may reflect on the freakishly good fortune of the book’s timing.Successful transformation takes heart. The heart serves as an apt metaphor, capturing the essence of the vital, life-giving source of power that people need to effect change. Braithwaite, J., Churruca, K., Long, J. C., Ellis, L. A., & Herkes, J. (2018). When complexity science meets implementation science: a theoretical and empirical analysis of systems change. BMC Medicine, 16(1), 63. In this timely and original analysis, David Goodhart divides human aptitudes into three: Head (cognitive), Hand (manual and craft) and Heart (caring, emotional). It's common sense that a good society needs to recognise the value of all three, but in recent decades they have got badly out of kilter. Cognitive ability has become the gold standard of human esteem. The cognitive class now shapes society largely in its own interests, by prioritizing the knowledge economy, ever-expanding higher education and shaping the very idea of a successful life. To put it bluntly: smart people have become too powerful. In the digital era, transformation has become the default state for most organizations. But always-on transformation needn’t be debilitating, exhausting, or demoralizing. We owe it to ourselves, our organizations, and society itself to boldly transform the approach we take to transformation.

Venous drainage of the hand occurs mainly via the dorsal venous network, located across the dorsal metacarpal region, and drains into the cephalic (lateral aspect) and basilic veins (medial aspect). An accessory cephalic vein may drain the middle part of the dorsal network. The palmar venous arches receive palmar metacarpal and palmar digital tributaries, which is then returned to the deep veins of the forearm, namely the radial and ulnar veins. However, palmar venous return can also conducted to the dorsal venous network via perforating branches of the palmar metacarpal arteries to avoid restriction during gripping actions of the hand. Larsen-Freeman, D. (2016). Classroom-oriented research from a complex systems perspective. Studeies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 6(3), 377–393. The hand itself consists of specific bones onto which various muscles are attached, and a collection of neurovascular structures responsible for drainage and innervation. However, the intrinsic muscles of the hand are only partially responsible for all its range of motion. The other major contributors are actually the forearm muscles, which project tendons towards the hand via an equally complex and flexible anatomical structure, called the wrist. The head, heart, and hands approach to transformation is most powerful when each element is fully deployed. For this reason, the three elements should not be viewed as sequential actions but as three vital sets of activities that should happen in parallel—a holistic system.

Well, the use of the word “unprecedented” is genuinely valid, and the idea of “disruption”, hitherto the lingo of the tech- and start-up community, has thrust its way into our public-sector lexicon.
