Ben Gordon, Assistant Headteacher and maths teacher has BAGs to learn from teachers, leaders and experts about education including curriculum, mastery, pedagogy, research, culture and leadership. The short episodes are focussed on one area so that each episode can be directed to teams or individual colleagues who may want to develop this area or hear more about it. Each episode concludes with a CPD task for a department or individual to carry out in their own classroom or a reflective question for a department to discuss around the episode focus. This makes a call to action easier.
