SSAT with Professor Barry Carpenter
Following his popular blog on a recovery curriculum, Professor Barry Carpenter talks to SSAT’s Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Tom Middlehurst, about how this might be implemented in the coming weeks as more schools open for more students.
Barry explains what this might look like for different groups of students, key issues around transition from primary to secondary, how to balance a recovery curriculum with the needs of catching up on academic learning, and how the same principles can be applied to staff training and welfare. Ultimately, Barry, says: we need to be kind.
