@mrsspalding.bsky.social it was great to hear about your school and dig into effective implementation in your context. Looking forward to seeing and hearing how things go!
Loved chatting to @mrsball.bsky.social last week about @steplab.bsky.social. It’s clear there’s a team of really experienced and thoughtful school school leaders behind the product. Love the focus on high quality implementation and flexibility to support at all stages of school improvement.

👇 So important! Supportive environments for professional challenge are key. Always a good thing to explicitly rehearse with teams too!
I used to work with someone who knew exactly how to disagree.
'But what do you think about..' or 'Do you think that.?'
Made meetings so much more constructive, cooperative and positive.

Important post on how it’s crucial to consider the ‘why’ in designing PD. Teachers must develop ‘awareness’ and ‘insight’ in order to enact great practice in the classroom, so anyone designing great PD needs to know how to activate those elements through their training.
Teacher training and development has to include the 'why' for it to be effective.
