  • - Big principles for ambitious English - the how.
  • - Strategies for ambitious English - the what.

Session Description

Delegates will hear about practical ways in which the book is having an impact, apart from the intellectual curiosity around the notion of ‘ambition’ and how that manifests itself in the classroom. Big principles will include quality text to quality writing routes; pitch high and include all mindsets; the need for challenge and response. Specific strategies will include new ways of using question layouts; examples of the scope given by top-quality texts, brief case studies from schools, and chunking of ambitious new learning and knowledge. Above all, the session will model how schools around the world can benefit, with free resources made available.
