Together, they explore the shift from “doing lots” to leading strategically, with a relentless focus on return on learning.You’ll hear why subject knowledge is the lever, why the text must be the beating heart of the lesson, how to think about a reading canon as a living curriculum choice, and how English leaders can decide what’s non-negotiable when competing pressures pull in different directions. Expect practical leadership principles, clear curriculum thinking, and a strong argument for why explicit teaching is not the enemy of joy in English.
