I am privileged to have worked with and for many, many school leaders on this journey. From this experience, I have been given a massive gift - an abundant clarity in the value of *real* teacher voice in shaping an invigorating school culture. 2/2

This week is my last for an education authority I have served for 12 years. In that time, I have been a teacher, assistant headteacher, deputy headteacher, SENCO, headteacher and teaching and learning advisor. 1/2

Had an excellent few days’
Forest School CPD with this great bloke. Dave Churchward of Little Acorns Forest School. https://t.co/JacPyHhP9q Heartily recommended. Staff across school inspired. Really highlighted the value of Forest School for our children, in numerous ways.

Short blog about how scheduling friendly times for reflection can help teaching. (And a few actual reflections on a teaching approach too.) https://t.co/gcU3RtRf3h

Very good explanation. 👇

If you want to get a basic idea of how people learn to read, and you have very little time to spare, in this video I try to describe reading development to @mrbartonmaths in under *8 minutes*. (He then asks some great questions afterwards.)

@FoxyK2000 🙏 That’s very kind, Kim. Thank you. Have enjoyed working with you and DPS very much.

[Mr N @mrntandl]

Time to return. I’ve had a good stab at supporting school improvement, but I miss teaching and helping to lead a school. So happy to be going back to this as AHT, SENCO and let’s see what else in September.

[Mr N @mrntandl]

@PrimaryEAdams Thanks, Emma! Back to Germany. Small primary school. Very excited. Hope all’s well with you and BSB.

@MrsWelshTurner @Headteacherchat @secretHT1 @suffolkheadtea1 @HeadsUp4HTs @CassHT @JonKeohaneHT A Canadian Principal friend and ex-colleague of mine @LeBlancPeter champions the idea of visible leadership. He used to say: “you can’t lead what you don’t notice.”

@ElklanTraining Would you say that the skill of ‘attention and listening’ is something that has faced challenges in recent years? Thinking lockdown, increased tablet/android use… With adults and children.
