Hi Diane,
This week we hit a milestone we had hoped we’d hit before Christmas. Alas, it wasn’t be. Thank you for helping us reach 13,000+ members to kick off the new year with a bang. 🎉
Whether you started back last week or work begins tomorrow, remember…
…the We Are In Beta team are here to help you find what you need - great example below. All you have to do is ask us a question.
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.

This week:
🎥 "That won't work in my subject!" Things you need to know about managing subjects you don't teach.
💭 Schools with high mobility, particularly with EAL students, that are successful in terms of curriculum.
🎧 Blind recruitment.

🎥 "That won't work in my subject!" Things you need to know about managing subjects you don't teach.

When developing curriculum it can be easy to assume other subjects are just like yours. But they aren’t. The ways they’re planned, communicated, delivered and assessed are different.
With that comes a risk senior leaders and faculty leaders, who lead a number of subjects, will ask subject leaders to do things that, at best, aren't helpful, and at worst, are damaging.
Join us to learn how subjects behave differently across the school, or within your faculty, and what you can do about it.
(Or use this session to help you explain to your line manager how their initiatives could be improved to meet the needs of your subject.)
📅 Tues 11th Jan.
🕕 6pm.

💭 Interested in schools with high mobility, particularly with EAL students, that are successful in terms of curriculum?
|
|
|
We're helping Vice Principal, Ruthie Jacobs, find successful EAL curriculum practice from schools with high mobility.
We're also looking at running an online event to share it.
- Do you want to be invited?
- Are you interested in presenting your EAL curriculum work?
- Do you want to access resources afterwards?
- What specifically do you want to hear from other EAL practitioners?
Let us know below 👇

How did this come about?
Ruthie Jacobs posted this question inside the community:
Hi All! I was wondering whether there are any schools in the We Are In Beta community with a very high level of mobility, particularly with EAL students, that are really successful in terms of curriculum?
We are in the top 1% of schools for mobility in the country, we get 15 or so new arrivals every week with limited English and many with little previous formal schooling.
Really interested in seeing a comparable school that has successfully inducted and managed a broad and balanced curriculum for these students while teaching them English.
Happy to share our approach so far too.
We’ve had lots of interest already.
So, whether you want to join us in front of, or behind, the (web) camera, we’d love to see you there.

This week - Episode 7 of our republishing of Series 2 from 2019.
Learn how her own experience of sexism influenced how Claire Cuthbert (CEO, Evolve Trust) recruits teachers. And how she gives her team the time and space to look beyond their MAT, and even beyond education to Netflix, to design processes to help them get the people and culture right.
