January Newsletter
As ever in education, the year ahead looks to be full of challenge, opportunity, excitement and risk. In our view, this makes the promoting and sharing of excellent practice, the need for new thinking, and an independent perspective all the more important. These will be at the forefront of all our work throughout 2012.
Articles, policy and debate
There is a lot to talk about! The Trust is helping to lead the debate by providing a platform for, and contributing to critical study of the key issues in education today and tomorrow. Current highlights on our website include Mick Waters on 'A new playing field or a different game' and Geoff Barton's 'Goodbye NPQH, I suspect we'll miss you'.
If you want to contribute to the debate through an article or blog please contact Roy Blatchford via Director@nationaleducationtrust.net.
Our events programme offers opportunity to discuss major challenges and seek out new ideas.
