Thank you @lekhasharma.bsky.social for such a helpful & insightful CPD session today! I particularly found the ICAN framework helpful & feel empowered by this structure to support culture building. I also thought discussion around psychological safety hugely informative. Trust is everything!

NEW! Today on Myatt & Co: Do we really need research on learning the curriculum? Yes, we do! But the paradox is that we intuitively know a lot of what works in any case. So it’s really helpful when what we know works is also backed up by the cognitive science. /1

Lovely morning today working with a fab group of HTs in Essex on the tangible ways in which strong school culture can be created, in tandem with the complex work of school improvement. Great, critical discussion about the interplay between the two and how leaders navigate this.
