Reviews / Votes
The perennial challenge for primary leaders is supporting colleagues to teach everything well-often without specialist training or time. This series meets that challenge head on. It's full of evidence-based strategies that will help leaders to build powerful, knowledge-rich curriculums and teaching practices in a range of subjects. -- Daisy Christodoulou * Director of Education, No More Marking *More details
