Some people say schools weren't built for adults to have jobs but they were built for children. Well so was Disney World, but it doesn't work without the adults either. Lets take care of the people who are in the people business.

This week we had our largest ever extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: 11,353 kg of plastic out of the ocean for good.
As we transition to System 03, we see that increasing system size leads to bigger catches.

The trick is to keep showing up, even on the days when you don't feel like it.

- A workout at 50% is still a workout
- 1 page of your book is still learning
- 10 minutes learning the guitar is still progress

Consistency beats intensity, talent and perfection every time.

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

As a school leader it is so important to be visible. To interact with students in classrooms, with every member of staff and be open and accessible to all parents.

Lead by example.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Leaders don’t have to be perfect
Leaders don’t have to have all the answers
Leaders don’t have to be loud
Leaders don’t have to be stoic

Leaders have to be humble
Leaders have to be intentional
Leaders have to be committed
Leaders have to be confident
Leaders have to care

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Friendly back to school reminder:

Kids don’t hate learning. Kids hate the intimidation of timed testing environments and the embarrassment of being labelled wrong.

Appropriate feedback and valid, reliable assessment play a very critical roll in student success.

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

Who would have thunk it, taking actual action to reduce plastic pollution, reduces plastic pollution!

But this is small fry. We urgently need the promised, but much delayed, 'all-in' Deposit Return Scheme.

No more dithering, no more delays, #ActNow
