Brilliant session with Sir Anthony Seldon today on AI, future of education system with our fabulous diocese directors of education.

Thinking hard, and lifting eyes above the binary arguments of the short-term. 👍

I’m really interested to connect with experienced, strong track record executive coaches who are working in non-education sectors - business, other public sectors - with experience of coaching CEOs/senior leaders in large/growing organisations - ideally in the UK, but also internationally.🇬🇧 🌍 📈🚀

Fairly depressing for the UK education system if this piece of basic maths intervention is deemed necessary in Sainsburys! 🙈

Good to get out even if windy and rainy! 🏃‍♂️

Still super close to 1/2 marathon PB- annoyingly 8 seconds off!

Not bad going for such a 🌧️ 🥶 day….also found cool graffiti by the canal 👍

Amazing experience looking for a car with my daughter who just passed her test…!

We turn up at a Nottingham garage only to find it’s run by 2 of my former pupils! I used to teach them a few years back - now they’re running a great car business! 🙌

Great coincidence, catch up, and buy a car too!❤️

Great morning with 500 ECTs at the Chiltern ECF conference sharing about the why and what of teaching - so interesting to sense in the crowd how hungry new teachers are for deep sense of purpose/wellbeing alongside the development of craft/science of teaching… 👍
January 21, 2025 at 11:40 AM
Inspirational keynote from @missmc.bsky.social this morning at Chiltern TSH ECF conference.

Such encouragement from the data on how teachers feel about their work - really is the best career! 🙌

Edu Cog Sci geeks! 🙌

Is there some research that explains how if I start a 1-hour run with a million complex ideas whizzing round my brain, when finished, most of them have de-cluttered/re-arranged coherently in a way that wouldn’t happen just by sitting still thinking things thru…?

Slightly cheesy, probably overly-simplistic and easily misinterpretable aphorism, but…there’s something in this for anyone needing a pause now Saturday has arrived.

Apparently ‘easy’ pace run in the ice on my new half marathon training programme I started this week. 🚀

Trying to get somewhere near 1h30 by Easter…

Even new year, new shoes! 👟

Any 13.1 tips welcome #Edurunners 🙏
