Why join? Professional learning...
“When I was an NQT, whenever I was struggling for inspiration for a particular lesson, or simply just running short of time, one of first places I’d check out is the ASE website. There’s usually something there that I could use or adapt, and as it was from the ASE I knew it had been checked and I could trust it.”
