Abstract
Since Autumn 2021, the rhetoric of ‘recovery’ in primary school teaching and learning has been prevalent, involving teachers paying attention to gaps in knowledge and skills, and adapting provision accordingly. In this paper, whilst not negating this activity, it is proposed that post-pandemic pedagogy should involve more than meeting
academic requirements. Considering the value of aspects of the ‘suspended curriculum’ of March-May 2020, which included a more creative and democratic approach to learning, the discussion will consider how these might be brought into relation with the formal National Curriculum within a middle space to allow for recovery of not only formal learning, but also that which goes beyond to affect a learner’s sense of identity and responsibility. Hegel’s notion of ‘the unhappy consciousness’ provides a philosophical framework for this proposal, and examples from the classroom are provided.
