If you've ever wondered what Explicit Direct Instruction is, look no further! This month in the ERRR podcast I discuss the ins-and-outs of EDI with one of its creators, John Hollingsworth! We dive deep with practical advice ready to go in the new year! https://t.co/HNZYh3HLF2

I waited over 20 years to report my sexual abuser.
Because I was 14.
Because it was my hero.
Because it was my priest.
Because I thought I'd be expelled.
Because I feared no one would believe me.
Because I thought suicide was easier than telling 1 person

@gcouros A Pandora's box! Some coaching/mentoring that would work as an enabling strategy for the leader to identify his/her skills and apply these to the situation. Would need to include EI as well and a capacity for self reflection.

@AlmaHarris1 This is also important for schools to contextualise initiatives to the needs of their school communities - the way it works in one school is not indicative of its success in another.

@gregmiller68 I do feel the role needs to be 'reimagined'... just not sure how that will look. At least this article suggests that there may be a way forward.

@gcouros I’d add another question: what does it look like at a system level?
