Excited for some deep conversations with our DHT development partnership delegates tomorrow about leading pedagogy.
Should we change our T&L framework approach based on school context? How do you create a common framework but give space for subject specificity?

What do you do after you’ve ‘done’ Curriculum? Assessment!
Great to share some ideas about the future of assessment at @celtacademies.bsky.social at the Inspire South West conference.
Precision curriculum to meticulous assessment.

BTW- Curriculum is never ‘done’ but it can be not done!

What if we could redefine assessment? Using a precision planned curriculum to meticulously assess across a trust and inform learning.
Join me and @lucygambier.bsky.social for our workshop at the Inspiring the Southwest conference next week.
Keynote from the brilliant @jonhutchinson.bsky.social!
