Kate and William upstage visit to Cambridge

Kate and William chose today to visit Cambridge while I was there...cloudy and cold, they chose the alternative rail provider on the national rail service to us.. Everything is open to multiple providers in England and there is time of day pricing on everything except coffee...that is because they do not how to make it yet...but I digress..

The education faculty is located in a new building and there are lovely learning environments. The head of faculty is an Australian, nee Melbourne. His main touch points in all things educational are Australian..John Hattie, Laurence Ingvarson and the ACER, Phil McKenzie. His research expertise is in school leadership and school improvement ...he explained the Cambridge system  for teacher education,  masters level only, competitive entry, 120 hours of work in schools, and additional testing before employment. Views from the common areas are lovely...
