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 181: This week onThinking Deeply about Primary Education I'm joined by Nick Pointer for a thorough exploration of effective teacher professional development. As part of the chat we discuss...

1. Your work revolves around supporting school leaders to think hard about teacher professional development - have you seen a shift in the sector in how we approach CPD over the past few years?
2. You prefer a “mechanisms first” approach to teacher professional development - what does this entail and why not define PD by form or characteristics? (Follow-up: What are some of the benefits to school or trust leaders to taking a mechanisms-first approach?)
3. In the case of one of the EEF’s mechanisms, goal setting, what might this approach look like on the ground?
4. Another of the EEF’s mechanisms is rehearsal. Teacher rehearsal/deliberate practice are quite popular at the moment - is there a chance that this has already begun to mutate and can a mechanisms first approach help prevent such mutations?
5. What do you think are the most important/and or/actionable elements of teacher professional development?

...and much, much more.

A huge thanks to Peps Mccrae, Sarah Farrell, Charlotte Mackechnie, Cassie Young, Nick Hart, Tom Sherrington, Oliver Caviglioli and Shannen Doherty.
