Is your curriculum centralised or shared? Itโ€™s more than a matter of semanticsโ€ฆ Recently at the Second Festival of Education in Thailand, I had a conversation with @engteacherabro2 that got me thinking about curriculum leadershโ€ฆ

My first blog post - all feedback welcome (but be gentle to a first timer ๐Ÿ˜‰)

On curriculum and teamsโ€ฆ my thinking heavily influenced by @samgibbs.bsky.social @saysmiss.bsky.social @samcrome.bsky.social and @lekhasharma.bsky.social

I can think of worse ways to spend an evening than hearing @samtwiselton.bsky.social discuss teacher development as part of our NPQEL webinar. Informative, clear and thought-provoking- plenty to take away and consider! @transformtrustceo.bsky.social @lizbarratt.bsky.social

Fantastic morning spent sharing our approach to quality assurance and school improvement with visiting CEOs from across the UK. Always a pleasure to talk about the relationships we build with schools and how we can be at our collective best #NioT #TransformTrust

Feeling invigorated (and a little excited) to start exploring this platform this morning. Looking forward to re-engaging with lots of familiar faces from the world of education and beyond!
