So What? What next?
Opportunity to personalize learning for students, at all levels. Is dependent on access to devices. Can we set up learning, more as learning centres? Can do's, Must do's? 
At the moment our groups are streamed and the timetable is inflexible. How can we change this? Block out Literacy and begin changes there?
