Ever since my partner (a secondary ECT mentor) finished @Josh_CPD's book 'Responsive Coaching', she has told me on pretty much a daily basis how helpful it has been to her. I haven't read it (yet!), but apparently it is accessible, practical and beautifully written. 🔥🔥🔥

It's so interesting how many schools continue to blur and confuse mapping content (what teachers teach) with sequencing knowledge (what young people learn). The focus needs to be on a connected #curriculum & the why and how we teach, so young people know more (what) OVER TIME.

Have you seen this incredible book @ClaireRidsdale? A visually striking celebration of the remarkable achievements made in medical engineering and a glimpse of what the future might hold. A very special non-fiction book from @BigPicturePress.

Our English specialist, Amy, is trying hard to curb her book buying but she couldn’t resist adding this one to her collection… The Fossil Hunter by @KaKatewinter is simply stunning.

Enquiry everywhere at @thewealdcofe. Our two-day review visit is seeking out the bright spots and shining the light in dark corners to develop this enquiry-led #curriculum even further. From working walls to S-Plans, newsletters to pupil voice, 'being not doing' is everywhere.

Brilliant #personaldevelopment session with @ScienceCreates team. Using @EISAFCommunity Packtypes, we looked at ourselves, how we think we present and how our future selves might be. Discussions, as always, were fantastic, and the pause - a moment to just think - impactful.
