Belonging matters more than behaviour. Connection matters more than correction. Relationships matter most of all.

Lots of people think their inner critic is a hardwired part of their personality. It is in fact deletable software that’s been put there by messages in the early part of our lives. #PersonalDevelopment

Having a rare midweek day at home has caused some reflections ❤️ 🎯Rest shouldn’t be seen as a reward 🎯We only learn to care by being cared for 🎯Busyness shouldn’t be worn like a badge of honour 🎯Be careful work doesn’t get your best and home gets the rest

Who fancies a Chester, Wirral or Liverpool BrewEd? Brew is not just beer, can be tea, coffee or whatever your tipple. It’s a wonderful event where wonderful people talk about the wonders of Education. Usually on a Saturday. Noon until 5 and then if you want, an after party. Best CPD ever.

We can often over estimate the power of the big things and underestimate the power of the small things. Small ripples create big waves. Think big, act small and do it now.

Conflict in schools is inevitable, but punishment isn’t the answer. Restorative practices teach students empathy and responsibility through dialogue and repair. #edusky #teachersky #k8principal #education #teachers
