My
passion:
• To
develop
a
‘World
Class’
education
that
is
‘fit
for
purpose’,
engaging
and
relates
to
the
real
world
whilst
preparing
young
people
to
aspire
to
be
the
very
best
they
can
be!
• A
true
belief
that
all
young
people
can
excel
through
Immersive
Education
and
Rigorous,
Engaging,
Authentic
Learning.
• Teamwork!
• Experiencing
and
seeing
‘Beautiful
Work’
produced
by
students!!
• Learning
from
jurisdictions
across
the
world
and
creating
a
bespoke
model
for
a
school
that
brings
‘…The
new
Yewlands
building
is
iconic;
a
state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐
art
learning
environment,
technology
rich,
and
capable
of
being
flexed
to
accommodate
the
wide
variety
of
teaching
and
learning
styles
that
the
school
has
worked
to
develop.
Head
teacher
Angela
Armytage
describes
the
building
as
catalytic,
but
she
is
confident
that
what
has
been
achieved
would
have
been
managed
on
the
old
site.
‘The
community
(within
and
beyond
the
school)
could
see
it
literally
rising
behind
them.
It
gave
their
efforts
a
sense
of
momentum;
we
were
really
moving
on.
[But]
We
would
have
done
it
somehow.
We
would
have
made
different
spaces.
We
would
have
found
another
catalyst’.
Against
the
promise
–
and
then
the
reality
–
of
a
beautiful
new
building
at
their
disposal
must
be
set
the
additional
work,
stress
and
focus
that
planning
a
move
entails.
Of
course
buildings
matter,
but
it
should
not
be
thought
that
the
arrival
of
Yewlands’
new
facility
was
either
a
necessary
–
nor
sufficient
–
condition.
Without
its
powerful
vision
as
prerequisite,
change
on
this
scale
could
not
have
been
sustained…’

More
about
my
current
role:
I
am
currently
working
as
Executive
Director
of
Eos
Education
and
as
a
Senior
Associate
with
Innovation
Unit,
London.
This
is
an
exciting
role
that
enables
me
to
work
with
the
most
forward
thinking
schools
at
Primary
and
Secondary
level
globally.
My
work
with
the
Innovation
Unit
has
enabled
the
development
of
some
excellent
training
and
coaching
models
and
materials
for
radical
new
ways
of
developing
Leadership
and
delivering
Learning,
including
elements
of
the
‘High
Tech
High’
Project
Based
Learning
approach
and
‘Expeditionary
Learning’
with
Ron
Berger.
We
now
have
examples
of
exemplary
practice
in
schools
like
‘School
21’
in
London,
a
new
3-­‐18
years
Free
School
set
up
3
years
ago
and
rated
as
‘Outstanding’.
My
work
with
Eos
Education
and
‘Immersive
Learning’
(Carl
Jarvis)
has
enabled
a
blended
approach
where
REAL
projects
and
Immersive
Learning
approaches
come
together
to
provide
a
unique,
‘world
class’
model
of
educational
excellence.
My
experience
with
the
Innovation
Unit
and
Eos
Education
means
that
I
have
a
diverse
network
of
practice
to
support
schools
as
they
set
out
to
develop
new
and
innovative
pedagogical
approaches
to
learning.
My
aim,
along
with
Eos
Education,
is
to
constantly
remain
at
the
forefront
of
educational
innovation
and
to
keep
moving
our
learning
forwards
so
that
we
can
provide
a
‘world
class’
education
system
for
all
learners.
