Ever thought about becoming a charity trustee but didn't know what it would involve? Our CEO Adam is doing pre-application calls to anyone who hasn't previously been a trustee. Of course we are looking for expertise, experience and we also value enthusiasm!

Something I'm hearing a lot from teachers atm is about learners being too passive in lessons. My sense is that this may well be linked to the idea of learning as 'content delivery' into children and young people's memories. If we see learning as an interaction instead that will help with engagement.
