Dear colleagues, partners and friends
We recently reviewed, revised and reprinted our Curriculum Core Practices and provided all staff at XP’s Festival of Learning with a physical copy of the book. The Core Practices book is designed and written as a professional tool for you to reflect on, consider and apply in your daily practice to ensure that we are showing integrity to our curriculum model. I encourage you to actively reference the book by making notes and reflections in the spaces provided for this.
We have also placed a digital version of the Curriculum Core Practices on our Trust website so you can access online should you choose to do so. You can access the digital version here. This copy, in the spirit of sharing our stories, is available to anyone who visits our Trust website and is open source.
In addition, for all staff at XP, I have shared the link to the ‘Curriculum Core Practices Working Copy’. This is the google document where you can add ‘Notices, Wonders and Comments’ as you work through the published version. As I stated in the introduction to the book, the Curriculum Core Practices is a living document that is iterative and open to all staff to shape and critique. Changes that are agreed in the ‘working’ google doc will be added to the digital version.
We hope you enjoy engaging with this important document that is formed from our fundamental principles and designed to hold and protect the integrity of our model.
In Crew
Andy
