From one teacher to an entire school. Individual agile teaching practice is relatively straightforward to implement. One teacher, one classroom, one feedback loop. The hard part is scaling it — getting an entire teaching team to operate on shared iteration rhythms, to use a common language for what "adapting instruction" means, and to support each other's practice systematically rather than in isolation.

This cluster is primarily for school leaders, heads of department, and lead teachers — anyone responsible for teaching culture rather than just their own classroom. The core question is: what structures and behaviours at an institutional level create the conditions for agile teaching to become the norm? 🏫 Culture is structure.

Agile teaching doesn't become culture through motivation or vision statements — it becomes culture through regular structures that make the behaviour the default. This cluster is about building those structures.
