After an extended period in Senior Leadership within the financial sector, followed by a role working for one of the UK's largest public unions, Kat is Head of Professional Learning at a large Multi Academy Trust. Previously, she was a Senior Leader at an all-through school in the Midlands. Kat is also Founder of Litdrive, a charity that supports English teachers with subject knowledge and professional development. She is East Midlands Representative for MTPTProject, a charity that supports parent teachers with ongoing CPD. Kat regular speaks on curriculum design, professional development, workload and managing teaching alongside the demands of parenting. She blogs at www.saysmiss.wordpress.com. When she's not doing any of these things, she listens to my eldest son tell her facts about the world, or stop her middle son from putting her youngest son in a headlock. She would say she's 98% effective.
