Those who live and breathe curriculum and assessment by teaching every day have a deep and unique understanding of what’s going well and what needs to improve. If that’s you, please do share your precious insights through the call for evidence. consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-a...

Important post on how it’s crucial to consider the ‘why’ in designing PD. Teachers must develop ‘awareness’ and ‘insight’ in order to enact great practice in the classroom, so anyone designing great PD needs to know how to activate those elements through their training.
