CRITICAL FRIEND- A reflection on my conversations at @iapsuk, @HMC_Org and @HPLedu conferences was listening to school leaders talking about having the opportunity to talk to people in similar positions because it can be lonely at the ‘top’. (1/2) – at Saint Columb Major, England

Love this from @AnthonySeldon: “schools should be factories of joy or they’re nothing....the obsession with results has narrowed down all schools...it’s put in a regime where people are afraid of mistakes”. Let’s consider this as we emerge from the pandemic.

Question for the collective: Could you be kinder? Give me an example of a time recently when you could have been kinder. I’ll go first....

My son needs a haircut. No hairdressers are open so the task falls to me. Unskilled and impatient. To make the job easier in the past I have tied the middle section of his hair up so I can cut the sides. He said he didn’t want me to do that again because he felt embarrassed

I discounted his feels and told him it was the only way. I felt frustrated that he could see that it was easier for me. I could have/should have spoken to him about why he didn’t want me to do that and found an alternative way. I made amends this morning. Small but kinder.
Phew 😅 8 hrs of INSET done ✅ Thank you @TruroHigh staff for a fantastic day!
😂😂😂 but on a serious note, I have delivered countless INSET sessions about effective online lessons (I have one tomorrow!). One of the most common phenomena I come across with teachers at the screen face right now is that....(1/2)

❌ This could not be more wrong! Your years of experience are EVERYTHING right now. You might just need a nudge to get that confidence back up to 💯 again. #schoolleaders #education #teachersoftwitter #edtech #remotelearning #blendedlearning #hybridlearning #schoolculture
this pivot to online has made very well experienced in-classroom practitioners feel that because they don’t have the technical skill, they no longer have value to bring to the school or classroom.
Had a zoom call to introduce myself as the school coach for one of my new schools. I had a teacher sign up minutes after the meeting- this proves to me how much coaching is needed right now. #thepowerofcoaching
