If you’re thinking that 2025 might be the year for something a bit different, have a look at these roles:

Regional Director
Director of Transformation
Managing Director of a new HEI

We’re a small team that works with others to have a big impact.

Please do share with great people!

Jon Hutchinson @jonhutchinson.bsky.social · Dec 20

We’re looking for great people to join our team and help ensure that all children can enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.

You’ll get the chance to work with brilliant people in a region to improve the coherence of support families and kids receive.

Have a look!

Instead, we should make learning purposeful, focused, empowering, challenging, enabling… & by working hard at it discover that it is also fun, that there is joy in a row of ticks, in understanding something difficult, solving a problem that eluded you, creating something new, developing an argument

This is why, I think, so many teachers are reacting viscerally against the reports in @thetimes.com- it’s not that they don’t think school should be fun, it’s that they recognize that you don’t make it fun by trying to make it fun - you make it fun by aiming for purpose & doing it as well as you can

Huge thanks to @jofacer.bsky.social @tombennett71.bsky.social and John Catt for the opportunity to write about the importance of high quality PD and how we can build more of it.

My daughter asked if it ‘has sharks in it’. You’ll have to read to find out.

Pretty exciting post this morning! Great to see it in real life! My children were more interested in the packaging. Never mind. @jofacer.bsky.social @tombennett71.bsky.social.

As if I trained you! My recollection is you were practically perfect in every way from the interview lesson - not even an exaggeration.

I just wish they’d read the national curriculum before demanding that things which are already in it should be in it.

Good luck to everyone today.

Kids from the poorest families may not have the same safety net(s) for support and the future if results are unexpectedly weaker than anticipated, so celebrate lots and I recommend checking in on them and diarise doing so again on Monday, in a week, and in September.
