As schools wrap up for summer, we wanted to share something a bit different. After reading about @MarineAcademy in the call for evidence, we were keen to learn more. So we asked @Steplab_co, a partner of the school, to develop a case study on Marine, to add to our resources...

A brilliant morning with the @ManComRS teamso much energy, insight, and great conversation!
Excited to welcome our extended team of Evidence Leads and Evidence Advocates this morning to dig into some research, reflect on exemplification and look ahead to 25/26. Also a chance to say thank you for all they do to support the Research School 🧡
This is a thought-provoking question! In essence, I am beyond obsessed with my work. A need to grow, a need to develop. I find it difficult to switch off (in a positive way) but also recognise I sometimes need to slow down so the previous energy can continue to thrive…
Genuine question: To be a leader in education do you need to be work addicted? Most leaders I’ve met appear to have traits of OCD. Even when not at work they’re reading articles, blogs, ed. books etc. Do you have to obsessed with education to be a leader now?
Unless you know better, you can’t do better. High-quality models of great teaching practice are one of the most important coaching mechanisms. But full models can overwhelm. Check out this week's coaching cut for how, why & when to *model in chunks*! ➡️ bit.ly/4ltVLua
