THREE ESSEX NETWORKS MEETING
|
|
| |
|
One unexpected spin-off from our Network Learning Community has been a Leadership Conference for staff from the Senior Teams at De La Salle, Sweyne Park and Woodlands to consider KS4 Curriculum.
Fourteen senior staff met to discuss 14—19 issues and how each of the schools might tackle the changing KS4 Curriculum.
It was a very successful twilight event. We all felt that we had extended our thinking and really begun some collaborative learning.
We are all agreed that this is a stimulating way to tackle new initiatives that arrive on the national agenda. We think that we may use the groups as a basis from which to create a national college collaborative learning group in the future.

It was a Kate Spiller special ‘one-liner’ memo—one that seemed easy enough but required immediate attention! So, I made the phone call at the end of a busy Wednesday. Great—The Gendernet NLC in Lancashire, focusing on boy’s underachievement, each school taking a theme from self esteem to boys’ writing ….. ah… there’s the Network link! Chat on, sounds good … possible visit and shared research actions.. Terrific, oh you’ve got a website outlining activity….. brilliant…www.gendernet.co.uk. Kate will be pleased, no need to bother with the google search … just type it straight in …...Mmm…… not quite what I was expecting … carrying on anyway….. The rather haunting picture of a woman in soft focus and the apparent absence of any NLC badges was a bit peculiar I thought. Oh well enter the site to see if it’s named elsewhere. No such luck! I’ve managed to find my way on to a rather dodgy website dedicated to one man’s transsexual journey into womanhood - not an educational acronym or logo in sight. I decide now is a good time to quit, but not before I outline the innocent nature of my websurfing to a senior colleague for fear of my hard drive ever being analysed!
