Your language distinguishing “exploration” from “prescribed” sequencing is stirring and I love that you place the focus on culture: of high expectation and mutual respect. In my experience, we (the teaching profession) do struggle to value and constructively/meaningfully assess the learning…Read more

I look forward to hearing more about how you foster initiative in your students through the similar hands-on, high expectation approach you experienced during your Masters Degree Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday and to a great year ahead.

I’m really excited to learn more about how you foster initiative through a project based approach. It sounds like you’re really well positioned to truly push (and test?) teaching and learning this year. Can’t wait!

What a powerful journey you’ve been on – one that clearly began from a place close to your heart. You have effectively modelled the design process and demonstrated its potential power – using concrete data no less! As Garth suggests, the extent to which…Read more

There is no sadness at the final F2F (well, maybe a little), as we are excited to keep finding action supported by a vibrant community of educators. Thank you so much for opening up your journey to all of us. You have provided an inspiring reminder of the power…Read more

The level of feedback from your students is unreal! The students are engaging deeply with both the language and expectations of the exercise. It’s an amazing credit to you that you were able to create a learning environment at once safe and vibrant – so engaged with actual learning. I also love how you’ve highlighted the…Read more

And, of course, this is an extremely noble endeavour. I love how you’ve framed Cohort 21. Indeed, I believe the cohort experience positions us exactly where any great educator/innovator should be – as a learner, one who explores questions as opposed to promoting answers.…Read more
