Selecting a line of development
• Think about existing emerging practice and perhaps focus on area
which is already a strength in your cluster.
• Think about a matter which is of particular importance or be a
particular challenge for your learning community.
• Decide on the HWB organiser which will be your area of focus
• Identify a line of development and consider which aspect you will
focus on.
• Make any appropriate links to one or two other curriculum areas /
HWB organisers.
