Chatting to lots of heads and senior leaders recently. Especially ones who have had OFSTED. I have come to the opinion; Unless you work in a school, you've no idea how difficult things are.

Reflecting on 7 months of Headship 🧵 ‘You don’t know what it’s like until you’re sat in the chair’ A few people told me this leading up to starting my first headship and it’s so true. I read all the books, talked to experienced Heads and was completing the NPQH but nothing really prepares you for when you’re sat in the chair. Jim Smith’s recent post on LinkedIn got my thinking about the importance of holding the line and my first 6 months as a Headteacher. ‘Leadership isn’t just about setting a vision, it’s about standing firm when it matters most.’ Laying the foundations for a culture shift in a school is only the beginning. You can have a really clear vision but without the buy in it becomes nothing more than words on paper. I left school last night after another brilliant week and proud of what staff and students have achieved so far. So, what have I done with the team to move beyond the paper? /1

SUMMARY • The high stakes nature of SEND means we can over-rely on diagnoses. • This ‘diagnostic overshadowing’ is exacerbated by the variable quality of evidence around SEND. • We must balance labels with core learning needs (using precise teacher assessment). 👊

The best pens to use under the visualiser, in my opinion, are papermate flair pens They're bold & make writing clear. The ink is vibrant & doesn’t fade, the text is highly visible on screen There's no glare, they glide easily on paper, allowing for quick writing during the lesson

Not relying so heavily on just PowerPoint slides has been one of the best things I've done for my pedagogical skills. It has really benefited my students & I for a conducive learning environment. #Visualiser #Pedagogy #EffectiveExposition

Dear @Keir_Starmer Young people's mental health has fallen down your priority list. At a time when one in five have a diagnosable problem, we can't allow that to happen. That's why we've teamed up with three national charities to create a bold, ambitious, fully costed plan for reform, for your Government to deliver. @CentreMH @CFYoungLives @CYPMentalHealth Failure to act now will harm a generation of young people - and cost the economy billions. Urgent action is long overdue. No more promises or pledges. Now is your moment to deliver. Young people are counting on you.

The classroom equilibrium of positive behaviour and effective learning comes down to the instructional design implemented by the teacher. This is complemented by techniques to manage students behaviour. In my drive find 30 top tips in 6 posters for re-framing behaviour.
