“…Essentially, it endows society's younger citizens with the tools necessary to not only identify mechanisms of oppression but to liberate themselves and others from them. Therefore, this inclusive reading of the novella supports Mansworth's (2016) reasoning that with 'eyes opened to the spaces that may lie within policy . .…”

The recent inclusion of cultural capital into the English Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (2019) caused a ripple of discontent within some educational circles, with some suggesting it is indicative of 'white, middle-class paternalism'. Here, we consider the political rise of Bourdieu's concept of 'cultural capital' within the English Education Inspection Framework (2019), given that it now affects all English schools subject to Ofsted's inspection. We alsoexplore how one of the 19 th Century texts in the GCSE English literature curriculum can be analysed through a queer prism, to offer a thought-provoking inclusive interpretation of the narrative and release its queer cultural capital. Finally, we invite classroom practitioners to deliberate their current pedagogical actions and consider adopting a queer pedagogy to counteract the pervasive heteronormativity that embeds assumptions of heterosexuality within school ecosystems; thuschallenging the discomforting otherness and insidious silencing regimes that position LGBTQ identities as taboo and off topic. KEYWORDS 19 th century gothic; jekyll and hyde; queer cultural capital; queer pedagogy; homosocial; homophobia; heteronormativity; lgbtq; inclusionThere is only a seeing from a perspective, only a 'knowing' from a perspective, and the more emotions we express over a thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we train on the same thing, the more complete will be our 'idea' of that thing, our 'objectivity.' But the elimination of the will altogether, the switching off of the emotions all and sundry, granted that we could do so, what! Would not that be called intellectual castration? Nietzsche (1887, 153)

“…The study of the basic courses of engineering management can not only help students enhance their ideological and moral qualities, aesthetic qualities and humanistic qualities, but also cultivate their sound personality. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore and practice engineering management teaching in the construction of the engineering management innovation course system [6][7][8]. At present, engineering management courses still have many shortcomings, such as irrational curriculum structure, lack of integration of curriculum content, and disconnection between curriculum content and basic education reform.…”

The engineering management major is a comprehensive and practical major. However, with the rapid development of the construction industry, the scale of construction projects has become larger and larger and the craftsmanship has become more and more complex. It is difficult for traditional engineering management teaching models to clearly, intuitively and vividly present the implementation and management process of construction projects. Exploring the positioning of engineering management disciplines and the theories and methods of education and teaching has very urgent practical significance. This article aims to explore and practice the construction of an innovative curriculum system for the engineering management major. This research is based on the construction of an innovative curriculum system for the engineering management major. Establish a curriculum system centered on student development and aimed at improving students' innovative quality. Through questionnaire surveys and interviews, we obtained first-hand information on two engineering management teacher education courses. The engineering management course of School B is similar to the engineering management course of School A. It is a modular course divided into five modules. Establish an independent innovation learning module. Course credits are 6 credits, accounting for 3.7% of the total credits; practical teaching credits are 26 credits, accounting for 16.1% of the total credits. The results show that the educational curriculum system of School B can promote the all-round development of students.

This chapter reports on a small-scale study of studying fiction in the secondary classroom to explore how a sequence of lessons on Gillian Clarke’s poem “Cold Knap Lake” is experienced by a group of fifteen-year-old students in a UK school. In the context of the performativity agenda that persists in schools, some researchers have argued that the classroom experience of reading poetry in particular has been subjected to a more transmissive method of delivery where students can be fearful of developing individual responses. In addition, the role of the teacher as a more powerful participant in the classroom means that decisions regarding what is read, how activities are framed and how responses are articulated are usually taken by the teacher. This chapter draws on Text World Theory (Werth 1999; Gavins 2007) and interthinking (Littleton and Mercer 2013) to account for the ways in which the students in this study respond to Clarke’s poem. The chapter shows that the teacher and the material aspects of the classroom appear to foreground certain ways of interpreting the poem and discussing it, but that students also engage in using a variety of different resources to help structure their learning and arrive at a satisfactory interpretation.
