Perfect for: Everyone attending ArborFest!

Join Mary Myatt - education adviser, writer and speaker - as she shares insights and advice from her latest book, “Back on track: Fewer things, greater depth.” Mary will dig into why there might be redundant processes in schools, and uses Greg McKeown’s ‘disciplined pursuit of less’ to help school leaders and teachers create time and space to do deep, satisfying work on the curriculum.

As Mary writes in her book: “This is more than a workload issue, it is about focusing our efforts on the most important agenda item in schools today – the development of an ambitious curriculum for every child, in every school.”
