The @EducateAdvise associates across the UK chaired by the wonderful @KathyAugustDBE with Katy Cox Mary Lowery Narinder Gill Eric Halton
Reading some teachers explain on Twitter that their inspection wasn’t too bad in 2019 just misses the point entirely. It is about current priorities and my view is that Ofsted is an unnecessary distraction atm.
Today has been a really exciting day of briefings with our chairs, panelist’s and speakers ahead of our Annual Summit on Friday 9th July. You won’t want to miss it! Click here to register: eventbrite.co.uk/e/aoea-annual-… #AoEASummit @LesWalton500

Considering stepping out of your role as a school leader? It is always a great loss to education when we lose your knowledge and skills. It is important that you are supported in your transition to becoming the source of help and advice that schools need.Please get in touch
Please read and share this report into the costs and impact of faith-based inspections of state schools. Help end this inappropriate platform for faith groups to push their agendas. secularism.org.uk/faith-schools/… via @NatSecSoc
It is always nice to meet leaders who have inspired you for so many years. I have long admired the thoughtful and intelligent analysis that @KathyAugustDBE brings to any discussion. Looking forward to the @EducateAdvise EduKIT tonight.
A superb morning of learning so far exploring curriculum in its broadest sense - knowledge, pedagogy, assessment, progression - thank you for the opportunity @WoodMeena @NickHaddon6 @EducateAdvise @Ed_Authority @LesWalton500
@EducateAdvise @NickHaddon6 Join us on 30 March workshop: focus on curriculum intent implementation & impact- we explore EDtec, assessment, developing skills & knowledge, CEIAG, Ofsted & more. Free book & resources included lnkd.in/gDfqdEc See you there aoea.co.uk/implementing-a… @QTSLondon
Are you looking for curriculum support in your school. This course includes a copy of Secondary Curriculum Transformed; Enabling All to Achieve’ on Tue 30th Mar 21. Check out our new online training courses aoea.co.uk/events @WoodMeena @NickHaddon6 #transformingcurriculum
A key aspect of @EducateAdvise training is coaching and mentoring support for school and college leaders, including chairs. Looking forward to @steve_munby discussing leadership at the EduKIT event next Thursday. I agree with @HargreavesBC - every leader should have a coach
@MrReedDHT @johndunford @EdgeSchools @DavidDidau @johntomsett @JonnyUttley @dylanwiliam @CoatesSally @steve_munby Three of these authors are presenting at the @EducateAdvise fortnightly keeping in touch events. @steve_munby @johndunford @JonnyUttley @johntomsett
Privileged to join the launch of this brilliant book tonight. Powerful introductions from Meena and Nick on exactly why we need to transform the secondary curriculum with 40% leaving school in England without decent qualifications #transformingcurriculum
Looking forward to delivering this tomorrow. I will be talking about the importance of strategy, how T&L should underpin all decisions made and how @EdtechDemo can help schools achieve the same success of those leading the way with #edtech
