We are joined by Lekha Sharma, School Improvement Lead for Curriculum and Assessment at the Avanti Schools Trust. Lekha navigates the complexities of weaving together curriculum and assessment across the trust, while maintaining and cherishing the unique identity of each individual school. Lekha shares her wisdom on crafting a high-quality, equitable education system that resonates with the individual character of diverse learning environments. Through her experiences and published work, we uncover the art of collaborative curriculum development and the nurturing of a culture that supports educators in their pivotal roles.
With Bedrock as our exemplar, we dissect the profound impact of fully comprehending the intent behind educational tools, transcending mere procedural checklists. We discuss how literacy serves as a linchpin in educational outcomes and how a robust grasp of purpose can crystallise educational goals, refine teaching strategies, and utilize data to steer classroom practices. The episode paints a vivid picture of our duty as educators to meticulously curate content that propels student advancement and bridges the cultural capital divide.
Finally, we turn the spotlight on the pivotal role of psychological safety within the academic realm, emphasising its significance in the empowerment of teachers and the autonomy that comes with curriculum ownership. Stories from the trenches illustrate literature's power in social mobility and the profound influence of a supportive environment where staff can thrive. We also take a look into the dynamic world of leadership, shedding light on initiatives to enhance middle leadership programs and underscore the cultural and relational dimensions of leadership. Join us as we impart actionable insights for leaders looking to foster a flourishing school culture that benefits all.
