Was it last year when there was a bit more ‘understanding’ by @teachertapp.bsky.social over the summer that you might not be able to keep up but not lose your streak?
660+ streak gone this year 😔

I loved hearing from Ron Berger at @wholeeducation.bsky.social conference this morning. I feel like I have talked about the Ethic of Excellence and Austin’s butterfly with colleagues and children for a long time, but still so important…

Great to watch #Pulp on the #Glastonbury coverage - they should have headlined and had a longer set though
They were Brilliant in Brum last week too!

A great day of CPD at @finhamparkmat.bsky.social with @marcrowland73.bsky.social working with our ‘Tackling disadvantage’ co-construction working group. Great input from Marc and so important to have time to reflect on what we do and what we can tweak and do better.

Another great group call tonight with other Trust leaders also on the @steplab.bsky.social #CCLcohort3 course.
So useful to discuss plans and reflections on implementation and get feedback and ideas too.
If you are a school or trust leader of CPD I recommend the #CCL course next year ✅

Another great day @steplab.bsky.social for the CCL course - launch day for Module 3
I recommend the course if you are leading CPD & Instructional Coaching using Steplab in a school or Trust. I wish I had done it sooner when we started with Steplab a few years ago!
Now back to my Easter holidays…

Friends, I am trying to compile a list of regional education events. Headteachers conferences, county SEND events, MAT network events, union conferences and so forth. This is to make a calendar which I'll be happy to share. If you know of anything like this, can you help me? 👇

I don't generally go nuts for learning from leaders in other domains, but I would strongly recommend Gareth Southgate's Dimbleby Lecture. I found what he said about creating the right culture spot on and quite moving. He brings together when so many are keen to divide. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
The Richard Dimbleby Lecture - Sir Gareth Southgate
