It also heralded the arrival in 2019 of a new inspection framework that meant that school and subject leaders needed to be more articulate about the why, the what, and the how of curriculum design and delivery.
The now infamous words “intent”, “implementation” and “impact” became educational vernacular and the new suite of National Professional Qualifications, including the Early Careers Framework, helped embed these research-based concepts into professional learning for teachers at all stages of their careers.
