#44 in 2027

The latest book that I have been involved in co-authoring and also working as co-editor (though the credit  is missing at the moment) is now up on the Bloomsbury website. 

We are still deciding on a cover image.

This book grew out of the 2022-23 Fawcett Fellowship cohort, who contributed a chapter each, summing up their thinking around curriculum development and progression. 

We hope it proves helpful, particularly as there will be a focus on curriculum change for many schools (if not all) between now and 2028, and many teachers will be looking for support for their curriculum making. 

Thanks to all the Fellows: Fiona, Charlotte, Gio, Julia, Kathryn and Joanna who wrote up their Fellowship research and went through several editing and review phases before we ended up with their final chapters.
