What does a deliberate and structured approach to implementation actually look like two years in? Last week, Newcastle school leaders found out first-hand. Mount Hutton Public School (2024 Learning Partner cohort) opened their doors to share how explicit teaching becomes sustained practice when implementation is deliberate and structured from the start. AERO Senior Implementation Consultant Jeanette Frost facilitated the day, bringing that same deliberate and structured lens to how schools learn from each other on not just what to implement, but how. 👉 Click here for more information on the Learning Partner project: https://lnkd.in/ghjrWjqQ  👉 Practical resources to support all schools with leading implementation are available here: https://lnkd.in/gRQTJRqf
