Thinking Deeply about Primary Education – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Episode 192: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Lloyd Williams Jones as we discuss effective school leadership over the short, medium and long term.

We explore: 

• When taking on a leadership role, what should be the priority for your first 100 days in post? Namely, how should we approach our new responsibilities to give us the best chance of success?
• You’ve been in the role for a number of years and made significant gains early on. How do you ensure the school is continually moving forward and progress is sustained? Particularly, after you are gone because we know progress can sometimes be tied to an individual.
• How do you foster a culture of continuous improvement, particularly when working in challenging circumstances or when things have begun to stagnate?
• If you could start over, is there anything you would do differently?

And much, much more.

Whether you’re new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won’t want to miss this one.

Episode 87: This week on TDaPE, I'm joined by Adam Smith @MrSmithRE, Elliot Morgan @MorgsEd and Neil Almond @Mr_AlmondED for a very special edition of the podcast - recorded live and in person for the very first time. As we finish our mini-series of episodes with a focus on our preparations for the new academic year, we decided to use the time for an in-depth exploration of interventions and how we can get the most from them from the minute we return to school.

What makes a good intervention? How do we assess the quality of an intervention? When should interventions take place? We answer all of these questions and more in another episode with the potential to wear out your note-taking pencil. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one.

We used the time in the studio to record a special episode for our Ko-Fi supporters, during which we shoot the education breeze, make crystal ball predictions for 2022/23 and begin to put things into Education Room 101 before what we thought was an infinite session was terminated. When that episode is ready you'll find a notification in our discord. A link to which can be found below.
