Taming the ‘wild-west’: Co-constructing educational frameworks for school improvement within multi academy trusts

Nicole and Nimish will openly and transparently talk through their learnings at Creative Education Trust as they worked through multiple projects aligning curriculum, assessment and approaches to teaching, underpinned by the principle of creative collaboration. By reflecting on their journey over the last five years, they will share the tensions and success of driving school improvement at scale through trust-wide alignment. They will also share the principles for trust leaders to consider when grappling with alignment in their own settings. Can you do this in an established multi academy trust? Yes, you can. <em>This workshop relates to the 'curate clear goals' strand of the conceptual model.</em>
