Really great post Bevan - thank you! You tie together a lot of threads that are buzzing around in my head. Some of the same thoughts found their way into my recent book The Future of Teaching and the Myths that Hold It Back (as well as the more academic Intelligence in the Flesh from 2015). I'd really recommend the Caroline Williams book you quote from - full of really great ideas, many of them eminently practical for teachers. And remember the story Ken Robinson told in his famous TED talk about the great choreographer Dame Gillian Lynne who as a little girl was taken to a dance school and was astonished to find "Lots of people like me - people who had to move to think".
