I’ve come away with so much inspiration and can’t wait to collaborate with you all again the next time I’m in India. #exploringteaching #IndianCBSEsystem #Historyteaching (6/6)

A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Belinda Viveria - Principal, and Mr. Thomas Vadakekut - Chairman, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. A special thank you to the History Department—especially HOD Mrs Navia Surendran—for your support and enthusiasm throughout my visit. (5/6)

I was also fortunate to engage in aspirational conversations and interventions with students aiming to pursue degrees in India and abroad. Guiding them through pathways to higher education and hearing their ambitions was a real highlight. (4/6)

It was fascinating to explore History as a discipline through the lens of the CBSE curriculum and observe how historical thinking is nurtured in a different educational context. The curriculum differences between India and the UK sparked meaningful reflection on pedagogy. (3/6)

During my time there, I had the chance to teach A Level students, sit in on a range of lessons, and experience the school’s distinctive behavioural systems, rich cultural values, and infectious enthusiasm for learning. (2/6)

I had the incredible opportunity to spend a week at Greets Public School in Kochi - India , a well-established CBSE-affiliated institution known for its strong academic ethos, holistic development approach, and commitment to nurturing global citizens. (1/6)

- Sustainable leadership development (José Picardo) - Fostering success for all learners through high expectations and positive reinforcement which enables them to achieve 100% (Kris Boulton & Lee Wheeler).

Key sessions that stood out included: - The importance of oracy as a life skill (Kate Paradine & Clare Sealy) - Addressing boys’ mental health, manosphere and masculinity challenges (Alex Bower) - Closing attainment gaps through explicit vocabulary instruction (Rowena Lucas)

Just returned from a powerful and thought-provoking researchED — an incredible deep dive into the research driving education forward, with insightful conversations emphasising the importance of evidence-based teaching. #rEDBmth #workingoutwhatworks #professionaldevelopment

Every word of this post is beautiful & true. It is all too easy to lower our expectations of what children can do. We must guard against this by being open to challenge about whether we expect enough, not just with respect to curriculum, but also with behaviour & character.
