This moment has been *12 years* in the making, which I guess makes me old. Attending an implementation science conference in 2014 which blew the top of my head clean off. Trawling the change management literature from a wide range of fields. Finding *loads* of amazing ideas. Implementing them in hundreds of schools around the world and finding out what works. Assembling them into a framework: Make a start, Make a plan, Make it happen. Publishing a book with Hachette Learning. And now - finally! - making a podcast to drop these brilliant ideas and strategies - and interviews with inspiring educators walking the walk - into the ears (and eyes) of time-pressed educators. To mark the launch, I'm running a competition. To enter: 1. Post about the pod on LinkedIn 2. Include the link: bit.ly/mcs-pod 3. Tag James Mannion And that's it!

BIG NEWS: I'm launching a new podcast! Making Change Stick: The Art and Science of School Improvement is for anyone who has watched a brilliant new idea implemented with great fanfare, only to fizzle out with in a few short months. (And that's basically everyone in education). This moment has been a long time coming - 12 years, to be precise. I wrote a book about it - Making Change Stick - which came out last year. But a book... is just a book. And so now I am finally (finally!) at the stage in my journey where I can start dropping these brilliant ideas and strategies into the ears (and eyes) of time-pressed educators through a podcast / YouTube channel. Every Wednesday at midday I'll publish a short episode with practical tools, research and conversations with educators walking the talk, always focused on two questions: -> How can we improve outcomes? -> How can we make it last? Because great ideas don't improve schools. Implementation does. Trailer out now! Episode 1 drops Wed 28th October Where to listen: Youtube - youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… Apple - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/7EWtWC… Win a 60-minute implementation coaching session! To mark the launch, I'm giving away a one-to-one coaching session to help you tackle a real school improvement challenge. Five runners-up will each win a signed copy of Making Change Stick. To enter, you need to do 3 simple things (it's one thing really): 1. Post something nice about the pod on LinkedIn 2. Include the link: bit.ly/mcs-pod 3. Tag me (@ James Mannion) Entries close midnight Sun 15th Nov, and I'll announce the winners (chosen at random) on Mon 16th Nov.
