This session outlines the current phase of the EL grading guidance revision process, focusing on key shifts that move away from a "one size fits all" approach. Designed specifically for school leaders, this interactive session offers an opportunity to engage directly with the draft guidance through your unique leadership lens. Participants will share vital insights from their local school contexts, and provide feedback to ensure the final guidance is practical, robust, and responsive to school needs.
