Lots of decisions are made through informal discussions with colleagues.
Not at minuted meetings, conferences and so on, but in corridors, the canteen, down the pub.
Colleagues are then left to interpret meaning and if possible, act upon them.
In the course of one morning this week I had three colleagues tell me how they were using MoE to advance the learning of their students.
If they had heard each others approach to their MoE learning they might have been left wondering if they had missed something in their own MoE INSET to their departments.
Experience tells me that each colleague will deliver learning of value to their students and that their students, in turn, will become better equipped to recognise progress in their approach.
Some of the MoE documentation still baffles them, and probably most of us at some point, we shape as we see fit seems to be the approach that is working for many at present.
