Working with Schools and Researchers
SCHOOLS: February 2023: working with schools in Llandaff, Wales; Liverpool and Sevenoaks.
TIME: The most effective way of learning how VT works is to ask questions and get answers. The best way is to arrange a 90-minute online session. There is no fee!!
SESSIONS: This introductory session is based on transformative learning and involves:
-
Discussing with schools how they currently operate their same-age system
-
Deconstructing existing policies and practices (assumptions)
-
Designing a bespoke VT school by learning about the systemic changes needed.
-
Dealing with the many challenges of implementation and change.
There can be as many or as few sessions as needed but the aim is to leave those interested with a clear idea of what VT is, how it works, what changes, and why it is a different organisational system. A
