Leading Change Issue 1 – September 2011

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Leading Edge journal, where the challenges of staying at the forefront of education are explored. The Executive Head of Wakefield City Academy, Alan Yellup, shares the importance of the ‘by schools, for schools’ approach in achieving and sustaining high performance. The journal features articles on innovative practices, such as Mark Dawes’ series on raising achievement in maths.

The journal delves into strategies geared towards offering a broader curriculum, a sensible approach to using assessments as a tool for making progress make sense and shifting to 100-minute lessons – exploring the potential benefits and challenges associated with this approach.

Staff members located in Leading Edge Network schools have access to this Journal as a membership benefit.
