Headteachers and Deputy Headteachers from Dartford West were joined by senior leaders from the other three partnerships in the Local Learning Network for a conference on "Mantle of the Expert".
The "Mantle of the Expert" is a dramatic-inquiry based approach to teaching and learning invented and developed by Professor Dorothy Heathcote at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the 1980's. The big idea is that the class do all their curriculum work as if they are an imagined group of experts. More.......
