‘I’ve been to a land where teachers teach and students learn, free of the pressure of high-stakes exams’

I have taught English for 20 years and have, in that time, been a Head of Department, Head of IB (for both MYP and Diploma), author, editor, workshop leader, inspector, and am now, increasingly, interested in policy and research. I am also committed to working across independent and state sectors, as well as learning lessons from abroad. I am currently Deputy Head (Academic) at a leading HMC school, co-editor of 'World Class', and 'The State of Independence'. View all posts by drdavidajames
