How did i miss this.... you're only ever as good as the chair of gov/advisory board that supports you. I was blessed to have @elc2706 as my chair...... thank you for supporting the school through thick and thin! I am even more blessed to call Lauren my friend! 🫂🥲
I really enjoyed presenting at today’s Nurturing Great Teaching Conference with @EvidenceInEdu in Yorkshire. Terrific keynotes from @ProfCoe and @ProfKime. I’m really pleased delegates found the ‘What can senior leaders do to support middle leaders?’ sessions so useful 😊
What an incredible day! Thank you to @ExchangeRS & @EvidenceInEdu for their support and incredible insights, and to all the delegates that put so much effort into the workshops. #NurturingGTC
