Time for Reflection: Disciplinary literacy, supporting new literacy leads and the role of coaching in the school-improvement eco-system

Good Morning, TDaPE Massive.

This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, we look back at three of the questions that really got me thinking in the first half of 2025. Covering themes from disciplinary literacy with Juli Ryzop, to supporting new literacy leads with Chris Such, all the way to the role of coaching in the school-improvement eco-system with Alex Gingell. It's extremely difficult to choose three questions from the hundred or so I have asked already this year but hopefully they can act as an opportunity for reflection as we all arrive at the end of the academic year.

Short email this week because the format is a little different but back to usual next week. Hope you enjoy.
