@mrst_history @mtptproject I did it this year as a father when we had our second child and haven’t looked back. It’s allowed me to be far more present at home, to prioritise and cherish these early months and years. It’s also energised me for school and given space for other professional endeavours 🙏🏼🙌🏻💪🏼

@Sanumjkhan @rumena_aktar Your friend is a lucky person! Although any tips from @rumena_aktar for growing grapes on it as well - truly a magic fig tree! 😊

[andrew zair @ajzair]

@Sanumjkhan @zaharachowdhur2 Thank you for all you’ve given over the last six years! Exciting times ahead and I can’t wait to see what the next six bring

Mental Skills for Schools- Some of the most enjoyable work /I have undertaken in the last few years is designing and helping deliver mental skills programs to students. I thought I would dedicate a thread to why I believe this is critical; it might be long...🧵👇

@Headteacherchat @thosethatcan Who, what, why.
Who: are staff heard, do they have an identity and sense of belonging
What: are my strengths utilised and nurtured
Why: collective purpose to something bigger

Leadership learning outside the classroom today with the excellent @wildexpertise one of the best enrichment sessions I’ve seen @rgshw

[andrew zair @ajzair]

@Katy_primary97 You’re changing things by recognising the priority + by shifting your own understanding. It might not feel like you’re having an impact yet, but remember that we can make waves from the bottom up - maybe that’s all you can do right now. Be proud of any tiny moment.

@phd_teacher @SoE_UON Sounds fascinating Abbie best of luck with this - if you need any UK intel just shout!

@NadirahKhan4 @ottleyoconnor @SFL2326 Was such a timely reminder of how lovely a phone call can be! Cool to hear about your projects… good things happening your end - excited to hear what comes next.

[andrew zair @ajzair]

@mockjock @rgshw @DrPhilCummins Yeah it provided clarity to our sense of purpose and direction for shaping the next stage in our schools story. Solid day

[andrew zair @ajzair]

Fascinating and inspirational day working with @DrPhilCummins to discuss character and flourishing in schools: how to have academic results AND values as our measurable outcomes in a grammar environment. #aschoolfortomorrow #schoolshouldbe #leadership #edutwitter

@NadirahKhan4 @SFL2326 @ottleyoconnor @PookyH @AmySayerAS @MissOconnor87 Sure 😊 without knowing your start point, I think the fundamentals of workplace wellbeing are often overlooked. Often there feels a need to drop a heavy session in eg MHFA. I’d also digitalise each segment for personal reflection.
