As we approach the return to school, this is an authentic opportunity for leaders to reflect upon the context of agency in the schools and refocus upon ‘the change’ we want to realise.

Educators: I hope you have had the opportunity to refill your reservoirs… of energy, enthusiasm and hope. Even if you aren’t looking forward to returning, know that there are learners & colleagues who will be excited about being with you again. #nearlygotime

Maybe not a typical first week to the year for most. Two days of PLD - developing & refining across our curriculum & assessment approaches. Then right into three days of adventurous activities, on a residential with Y6 in the Brecon Beacons. Busy, exciting, purposeful. Brain & Body officially aching

ENRICHED… two days of PLD with #teamholton and then straight into three days away on residential with amazing Y6 learners and a great team. Full of hope and excitement for the year ahead.

Such a great way to kickstart Y6 for our learners. First morning back, straight onto the bus & off to the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) for team-building, personal challenges & a chance to consider the year ahead.

So far, so good. Day 2 of our PLD - Assessment & Progression. Really enjoyed the discussion on the functions of feedback & refinement, across the curriculum. Good provocation from Austin’s Butterfly. Today was about 4Ps - progression, portraits, profiles and portfolios. #teamholton holtonps.co.uk

A great first of 2 Professional Learning & Development days - reviewing our mission&vision, renewing our team charter, setting priorities for our culture of learning & thinking about v3.0 of our Flourish Curriculum. For me, today was about ownership, direction & hope #teamholton - How was your day?

It is important to acknowledge the risks and challenges that lay in change… but it is more important to recognise that growth and progress come from change.

011

Ty Golding @tygolding.bsky.social · 01/09/2024

Nothing changes if nothing changes… I find the way that organisational change is led, negotiated, avoided and ultimately realised to be completely fascinating. In particular, change that moves from chaos to clarity.

021

Ty Golding @tygolding.bsky.social · 01/09/2024

Good luck to everyone returning to school tomorrow… remember to be deliberate in your dialogue, choose slowness over haste, lead with questions over providing answers, and take time to observe that which is right in front of you 😊 #bepresent

Ty Golding @tygolding.bsky.social · 01/09/2024

A very apt point Rob. Could your point be broadened to be said of other ‘middle tier’ roles and responsibilities too? It is clear to see where we have been guilty of bypassing experience, credibility and even capability as a response to either necessity or as a benefit of networks.

Utterly and brilliantly compelling. We also need to be highlighting the possibility and value of Joint Headships like mine. I’d have never applied for the job on my own for various reasons, but Joint Headship made this most challenging of roles both attractive and achievable.

One of the most life-affirming - but not much talked about - aspects of being a teacher is hearing from your former pupils. Tonight, on the field near our house, I bumped into Josh, a student of mine in 2003. He didn’t like school much. But, gosh, we had the greatest, happiest reunion tonight.

IME, slowness in the classroom, along with the ability to take a step back from ‘coverage’ based thinking, is always a difficult one for practitioners. A culture of PL, trust & agency help to mitigate the pitfalls of ‘fast forward’ classrooms and then the responsibility sits with individuals.

As we move from the Summer Hols, where most of us have embraced slowness & having time to properly think(never to be undervalued) ~ what reflections or advice would you offer new colleagues & NQTs, on maintaining a sense of slowness, balance and purpose?

Definitely. The issues stem from an improvement right now culture. Compassion does have a human toil and toll on leaders the problem with both is that the compassion is not always reciprocal and is often confused with 'being nice to people where our compassion must be about learners first.

I also worry it takes an element of thought out of the process which may make it harder to adapt or differentiate learning for those who need it, as the person delivering had little or no involvement in the genesis of what they are delivering.

A big danger of prescriptive lessons is that the success indicator becomes the degree of consistency over experiences and outcomes.

I’d say yes. Feels much more natural to interact with someone when you know what they look like. Makes them more ‘real’ and less likely to be a cat fish!

I’m not so sure; over time, on s media you get to know people’s personalities: tag them into things that you know will interest them or make them laugh; share same sense of humour. I often get tagged into something and I think that person knows me so well. However, yes, context different.

How well do you think this is acknowledged in education leadership practice, leadership development, accountability and inspection practices? #networkedchat

Ty Golding @tygolding.bsky.social · 30/08/2024

As a starter for ten, based upon my experiences… there is a wealth of rhetoric within ‘the system’ about ‘compassionate leadership’ but there is a lack of systemic recognition and understanding of its necessity and the role it plays in leading organisations #peopleprocessproduct #networkedchat

Diolch - these pics and descriptions have made me smile a lot. I also have pet name envy with Keith & Trevor. Met a friend for a coffee this morning, with the dog at the table next to us being called Norman. So many great names and not enough pets…
