Who Are We & Where Have We Come From? We created Tagtiv8 in 2012. Why? As
teachers and school leaders, we love to learn. However, we hate sitting down for
long periods of time. Sadly, many schools focus only on English and Mathematics
– with certain subjects put to one side. In some schools, subjects are taught in
boxes – we believe that this is not how we learn best. Our mission is simple –
to create educational resources and training that develop confidence in key
areas of the curriculum through physical activity. How Did We Get Here? We
taught in various UK schools for 25 years. However, we were becoming
increasingly worried that certain agencies – driven by data – were putting undue
pressure on teachers and learners through academic accountability and
over-testing. Children were sitting down far too long – with English, Phonics
and Mathematics the sole diet for many children. As Michael Rosen says…
