Joe Nutt’s nineteen years teaching experience in the UK
unusually ranged from the highly selective, private sector to challenging,
inner city state schools. In 2000, he was seconded by the DfE from his English
teaching post at the City of London School directly as a result of his
innovative use of technology, and quickly became Director of Learning Evolution
with Digitalbrain before becoming a tutor for the highly successful, innovative
new teacher training programme in the UK, Teach First. Joe joined RM, the
global education group, in 2004, where worked for 5 years as their Senior
Educational Specialist.
He joined CfBT in 2009 as Principal Consultant and left them
in September 2011. His commercial career has been typified by innovative and
creative pathfinding, often through technology, best illustrated by his winning
RM’s first ever Entrepreneur of the Year competition in 2009.
He has implemented a number of major educational projects
including the national intranet for Scotland, Glow, which won the Global
Learning Impact Award in 2009. Amongst other things, Joe designed the Glow
training programme for over 54,000 teachers. He has considerable bid
experience, having been involved in the very first BSF bid in Bristol and many
subsequent BSF bids, which involved his working closely and creatively with
design teams and architects on new school design. He publishes educational
research internationally, and is a regular national, and international conference
speaker.
Joe is also a Macmillan author. He supplemented his literary
criticism works John Donne: the Poems, and An Introduction to Shakespeare’s
Late Plays very recently, with A Guidebook Paradise Lost, published in September
2011.
He also writes a popular Blog on educational research
issues, The Good-morrow, and is a member of the Royal Society of Arts’
Bloggers’ Circle.
