If you’re happy to contribute to my MSc research (no names will be shared in the write up), please answer the following question:
As a secondary school teacher, what do you consider to be the conditions that are needed in order to flourish?
Thank you!

I LOVE this coaching book. It's practical, eclectic, infinitely practical, absolutely fascinating, close to home and I especially love the reflectiveness and humility of the authors, Kim Morgan and @geoffcwatts.
Can't remember who recommended it, but THANK YOU.

You can’t “build” culture, you have to “be” the culture.
Want a more competitive culture? Be more competitive.
Want a more disciplined culture? Be more disciplined.
Want a more encouraging culture? Be more encouraging.
Be what you want to see.

If you've completed a dissertation or thesis on instructional coaching, or you know someone who has, I'd be very grateful if you'd send me their dissertation. I'm trying to round up all the great research on coaching.

🎶 Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn
To learn what to be
Careful before you say "Listen to me"

5 Stoic lessons from Seneca:
1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2. Associate only with people who improve you
3. The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4. Value your time more than your possessions
5. Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day

"Effective feedback needs to be used as a windscreen rather than a rear-view mirror" - as a recipe for future action. Love this quote from @dylanwiliam in the @EducEndowFoundn feedback report.

Two of the great modern philosophers of coaching joined me for WOW78.
What an honour to get to sit with @Doug_Lemov and @_ToddBeane for over an hour and challenge notions of how we think about coaching.
I hope you enjoy the episode.

And surely godfather of flow- where creative mastery and happiness meet.
Csikszentmihalyi is accredited as the founding father of Positive Psychology; this focuses on what makes life good, and how we can improve our quality of life while focusing on both the individual and societal well being.

5. School culture(3): Routines: Creating micro-routines lets students know what is appropriate and empowers them to make better choices. Routines soon become habits which lead to calm, orderly and focused learning environments, increased learning time and successful outcomes.

A call to @BorisJohnson, to issue emergency visas for veterinary staff from @Nowzad - the team have supported British troops and have been advocates for animal welfare for many years. This puts them in great danger. @PenFarthing, founder of #Nowzad needs to get them to the UK.

I experience nothing short of sheer joy when working with my Y8 drama club. Tonight we rehearsed, we laughed and we ate delicious cakes that two delightful students had baked for the rest of the club 🎭💕
