e-Qualitas aims to train teachers to become confident professionals who reflect habitually on their own practice and learn effectively from the work of their peers.

Here e-Q’s Curriculum Director Tracey Maloney speaks with recently qualified English teacher Bethany Ames, about her experience as an ECT (Early Career Teacher) and an article which she recently had published by The English Association.

In the article, titled ‘Creating exceptional curricula: an ECT’s perspective’, Bethany discussed her involvement in curriculum planning and delivery, noting that:

“My active role (in whole-school curriculum planning and delivery) this year provides another learning experience for me, and one that is facilitating further personalisation and development of my own practice…”

In our interview Tracey and Bethany discuss the importance of subject focus and subject-specific intelectual curiosity, within teaching and in curriculum development.
