Your Expression of Interest

Why would you like to be part of A New Direction’s Primary Arts Teacher Consultation Group?

What skills and experience can you bring to the group? (e.g. collaboration, advocacy, specialist knowledge, communication skills, connections with other schools etc)

What do you hope will be the benefits to you and your school of you being part of the Teacher Consultation Group?

How will you be able to represent the views of teachers across London (not just yourself, your own school)?
