So what barriers did IRIS Connect help overcome? Well for starters...geoegraphy. How can leaders help support coaching on the ground when distance is a challenge. So @AE_Growing have used IRIS Connect to capture best practice for modelling & coaching.

The team were asked to write 1-2 sentences about how much they value @IRIS_Connect to support our practice. They wrote novels! We really value its support for our implementation of PD across @aldridgeonline. β€οΈ @DarwenVale @EducationTed @Dr_RachW @Dbarlow597 #GrowingTogether

A brilliant day representing @AE_Growing at the @IRIS_Connect conference in Brighton. My talk on scaling instructional coaching within a Trust is beautifully summed up in @HughesHaili's thread below. Fantastic to connect with likeminded educators! #GrowingTogether

My group this afternoon did a dramatic reading of Claudio shaming Hero at the altar in Much Ado About Nothing. The Science group watched a live dissection! I'd choose acting over organs anyday- sorry @Dr_RachW π€£ Such an amazing impact on our wonderful trainees all round π³
π Useful, interesting, insightful! π
