In his keynote at the Scottish Learning Festival, Prof Stephen Heppell made reference to a new project of his called ‘Doctoral Profession’ which would take around a third of a school staff, develop a hypothesis about how to make that school better and then get the ‘ingredients’ from other schools around the world and implement [...]

Back in this post I mooted the idea of some kind of meet up of bloggers at BETT, inspired by the planning for the SLF. Well, having had a look round the excellent SLF site, and read posts and tweets from the folks who were there, and now having received the advanced notice of BETT [...]

Back from the first inset day and pretty pleased with how things went.
