There was good support for change across the system and a clear mandate from the OECD and other reviews . So a wasted opportunity, tbh. Elements of pusillanimous policy makers and entrenched interests impeding reform

Student teachers: don’t forget to make the most of whole-school experiences whilst you’re on placement. Staff meetings, in-service days, inter-disciplinary projects etc. are all great opportunities to build positive relationships across the school.

As you approach the end of your spring placements, take the chance to have some fun (and take some risks) with your classes. With the support of your department, experiment with activities, tasks and resources. Find a way to get out of the classroom and explore yours and their boundaries.
