The document discusses sustainability in education and provides examples of how clusters of schools maintained connections and continued professional development following the end of external funding. It suggests deciding what you want to sustain, who you want to maintain relationships with, and how to go about it. Regular meetings, newsletters, shared online spaces, and infusing learning into staff meetings are some of the methods clusters used to sustain momentum in learning and collaboration after funding ended.
