Aspiring head teacher, currently Assistant Principal of an International Primary and Secondary school, looking advice and tips wherever possible

It is outrageous to produce any framework that dictates what I do outside my working hours. Ofsted simply can not inspect what we do voluntarily in our unpaid free time neither can the DfE direct us. This needs challenging robustly!

I want to revamp our performance management/appraisal procedures. Ideally I'd like to make it a one page reference page that is more about developing themselves.

Is anyone using anything that they recommend?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

Has anyone successfully used any external agencies to review their curriculum quality?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

Anyone using Kapow IT? Exploring getting it but would like a deeper look or feedback

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

I feel this applies to schools too

[Ricky Gervais @rickygervais]

I’ve had 3 days off work with no one emailing me every few minutes and I’ve written more new stand up in that time than in the previous 3 months. Admin is the enemy of creativity.

Does anyone use any good playground leadership programs?

Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.

Next year a key focus for us is stripping back the curriculum. @MaryMyatt made a good point about topics like Roman Numerals not been needed in any follow on learning.

My question is, what else have people stripped back on?

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

When looking at more able children, what links do you make to help support them?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

In the past I seen someone post about an after school club that coveted life skills like banking, time keeping etc

Anyone know what its called?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

Does Google offer anything similar to Microsoft Reflect for student wellbeing check ins?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

What schemes (preferably cheap) would you recommend for handwriting and spelling?

Would love to know what is working in your schools!

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

When looking at curriculum coverage for a year group, what % of those statements are you expecting children to understand in order to be 'secure' / 'expected'?

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]

@HughesHaili @naceuk Thank you appreciate the response

[FutureHeadteacher @futureheadteach]
