Reply To: Learning and Research new role

[Darryl Toerien Keymaster]

Thanks, Elizabeth, and congratulations, Jannath – your extraordinary journey with FOSIL continues.

I have some thoughts on the curriculum/ framework/ plan, but will need to return to this towards the end of the week.

In relation to introducing FOSIL to staff, some of the FOSIL Presentations might be helpful, especially those we developed for INSET at Oakham School and, more recently, Blanchelande College.

Your responsibility for staff research is exciting. Although we lost touch with our colleague, Chris Foster, when we left Oakham School, he was promoted to a similar role to yours, and we had begun to discuss the topic of student research. He shared some of his early thoughts in the following post before we left Oakham, which may be helpful: Making Sense of Evidence in Education. I have some further thoughts on this, which I will share as soon as I am able.
