Twenty's Plenty For Leadership!

The following are intended as slightly tongue in cheek leadership messages. Within them though are what I believe are some key principles for school leaders. I hope you get  them and even agree with some of them. There are lots of different leadership styles and approaches, mine is reflected in the following.
  • Prioritise!
  • People are always the priority!
  • Only in Fifty Shades of Grey are people tied to desks!
  • Be like Bear Grylls and get out and about!
  • Only on Mastermind are you expected to have all the answers!
  • Collaborate to celebrate!
  • Out of tiny acorns mighty oaks do grow, so deal with issues when they're tiny!
  • Good flag makers and good leaders establish standards!
  • Walk the walk, not just talk the talk!
  • Would you buy a car from you? Build trust!
  • As a true fan, support your team!
  • Laugh at the leader in the mirror and don't take yourself too seriously
  • Don't be dumb, tell people when they are doing well!
  • Be proactive rather than reactive, but react when you need to!
  • Like a good librarian, be well read!
  • Leaders should be like cars, with more forward gears than reverse!
  • As Frankie Goes To Hollywood sang, relax!
  • Staff will do as you do, not as you say. So strike a pose and model!
  • Be the Alan Titchmarsh of leadership, grow new leaders!
  • Imagine Peter Kay doing your job, smile!

The Six Qualities of Educational Leadership

I wrote a post a few weeks ago (The six tasks of leadership 12/12/15) following an article about Sir Tim Brighouse, who had identified what he thought were the six key tasks for school leaders. My own list was a bit different to Tim's but it also set me thinking about what might be the qualities you would look for in high performing school leaders. I give you my six as a stimulus for discussion and perhaps your own consideration of what qualities we should look for in school leaders. The first is authenticity. I believe all school leaders need to be authentic and to really walk the walk of their talk. There can be nothing so dispiriting for school community members than being led by a leader who says one thing but does another. Remember to say what you mean and mean what you say. I think the highest performing leaders possess emotional awareness. They know themselves well and they know the people they lead well too. They understand the importance of relationships and how to ta...

Evaluation: a process, not an event

Throughout my time as a school leader, and since, I have wrestled with the challenge of evaluation, in terms of measuring the impact of change, in a way which is meaningful and useful . Early in my career, such evaluation was very much viewed as an event, or events, that happened towards the end of a project, or piece of work, usually occurring towards the end of a school year. This was often a time filled with lots of scrabbling around looking for 'evidence' that could be put into some sort of report aimed at different different audiences. It felt stressful, concocted at times and often disconnected from the whole change agenda. Evaluation was a thing to be endured at the end of something else, with its main purpose consisting of proving you had been doing something to different people. Some of these would take what you gave them, and put that into their own 'evaluation report' for a cluster of schools, a local authority, or even a national system. A major issue with...

Some thoughts for new student teachers

  Having gained a host of new followers on Twitter, who are either completing PGDE, or other student teacher qualifications, got me thinking about the advice, thoughts, comments I would give to those embarking on their own professional learning journey.   It is heart-warming to see, and hear, the enthusiasm of new entrants into the profession. They are passionate about their career path, and are constantly enthusing about the high quality input they are receiving from lecturers, professors of education and practitioners. My first piece of advice would to use those feelings as a touchstone, to go back to and revisit, throughout your career, but especially when you are facing challenges. Teaching is one of the most satisfying and rewarding professions to be involved in, but throughout your career you will encounter a myriad of challenges, and during these times it is often worth your while reminding yourself of why you came into the profession, and re-consider your early en...
