The aim of the 'bridging the gap' series is to link researchers with practitioners. The fantastic @jillberry102.bsky.social and @catrplace.bsky.social have written the first post of the series exploring how reflective practice benefits headteachers. edublogger.wixsite.com/bridgingtheg...

How can reflective practice support and develop headteachers?
