We have taken what we’ve learned about working together during our time as a RIC to shape this fantastic resource. It has been a real privilege to collaborate with the HTs and officers who developed our #NALTAToolkit #keepcollaborating
Colleagues from across our local authorities have been collaborating to develop our #NALTAToolkit. With a focus on working together to improve learning, teaching and assessment, it offers practical support and resources for busy teams. Why not take a look? rb.gy/wfj6e1
