Curious Minds

Creative Agents Reflect and Share Practice on 'Brokerage'

What do we mean by 'brokerage'? 

How do we achieve a happy love-match between school and external partner? 

What are the steps to a successful partnership? 

Agents discussed these questions and many others at events on Monday 20 September in Liverpool and Wednesday 22 September in Preston.

 Agents said, 'I found it very useful to discuss, listen and explore different aspects of the brokerage process, especially overcoming challenges' and 'It's always very beneficial to hear how different agents handle different situations.' 

Curious Minds identified some tricky areas that agents would appreciate further discussion on and gained ideas about how to facilitate future sessions and use online forums.  Curious Minds also launched the idea of 'Pods': small groups of agents focusing exclusively on evaluation methodology during the afternoons of all future Sharing and Reflection days this year. 

Please let us know if you are interested in coordinating a Pod, or would like to be involved in an Action Learning Set.
