Opening Doors to Ambitious Primary English
Tuesday 18th June | Red Kite Learning Trust Office
Bob Cox, author of the 'Opening Doors' series of books will be joining us at Red Kite Alliance to deliver an inspiring workshop on creating an ambitious English curriculum for all pupils.
Bob Cox
Bob Cox, a teacher for 23 years, has presented ideas about high pitch learning and English at regional, national and international conferences for some time. He is the award-winning author of the ‘Opening Doors’ series of books, used in thousands of schools. The books and Bob’s associated training has acted as a key stimulus to the growth of exciting English across the UK via a network of schools, all of which showcase the classroom impact of ambitious approaches, especially inspired improvements in writing. Bob’s work explores equity and excellence for all and how a challenging curriculum can be accessed and enjoyed by every pupil through key stages 1,2 and 3. It’s very much adaptive learning. This year, Bob has been accepted to speak at the World Summit, Education Festival and UKLA International Conference but he is just as happy working with individual schools and clusters.
