Making Every Lesson Count by Shaun Allison & Andy Tharby is without a doubt, a brilliant teaching & learning book. It's one I revisit & regularly recommend to others. Getting to the heart of expert teaching in every classroom! 👏

[Matt Hardman @MattHardmanHT]

@KateJones_teach @PLI_SummitLT Totally agree.

[Matt Hardman @MattHardmanHT]

@TeachLeadAAli North Norfolk awaits eagerly if you fancy a trip to the coast. I’ll throw in a bag of chips too!

The costs of your good habits are in the present. The costs of your bad habits are in the future.

[Greg McKeown @GregoryMcKeown]

When was the last time you let yourself be a beginner?

Most people think mastery is about talent.

But the real secret?

It’s about tolerance.

- Tolerance for imperfection
- Tolerance for the discomfort of not knowing
- Tolerance for the awkwardness of getting it wrong before you get it right.

Look at any skill you’ve mastered—reading, driving, even walking.

You were once terrible at all of them. But you kept going.

The moment you stop fearing failure is the moment growth accelerates.

The best performers aren’t the ones who never fail.

They’re the ones who fail, learn, and try again—faster and more often than anyone else.

Mastery isn’t a destination—it’s a cycle. The sooner you embrace it, the faster you grow.
