    Staying The Course

    There is no easy quick fix when it comes to school improvement. Significant, sustained school improvement takes time. Every school is different and context matters.  I highlight two key areas that don't get enough attention - implementation, and staying the course.

    Progression Points

    Are we spending too much time trying to get progression points “right”? In this episode of Education Enclave, I explore the tension between accuracy and impact, and share two real school examples that highlight the risks at both ends of the spectrum. A practical reflection on moderation, teacher judgement, and focusing our time where it matters most in improving student learning.

    Youngest Literacy Consultant Ever? Jess Wallace

    In this episode I’m joined by Jess Wallace who I’ve worked closely with since 2011. Jess has had some unique influences that have helped shape her into the outstanding educator she is today. For example, working at McDonalds while she was completing her teaching degree, as well as playing bowls from a young age, including representing Victoria which Jess still does.

    Youngest Literacy Master Trainer In Victoria - Bre Boyer

    In this episode I'm joined by Bre Boyer who I've worked closely with over a number of years at Cobram PS. The main focus of our conversation is on phonics, and the practices that Bre has implemented across the junior school. The school's growth data from Foundation to Year 1 is phenomenal. A big reason for this is the teaching being assessment responsive, i.e. meeting the needs of each student. Another thing to note is that in 2023 Bre became the youngest Literacy Master Trainer across the ...

    Chris Thomas

    Welcome to another edition of the Education Enclave podcast, where I focus on excellence in education. Today’s guest has had a big influence on my career by encouraging me to pursue the principal role, and was then my mentor when I did in fact become a principal. Chris Thomas is currently an independent consultant, who was previously the Director of Programs at the Queensland Education Leadership Institute, and before that he was a high performing principal at Yarra Junction Primary School in Victoria. In this episode we discuss Chris’s pathway in education, why he became a teacher, as well as key learnings he has had along the way. Chris is a passionate educator, and is a strong advocate for all in the profession. We delve into some of his passions such as principal wellbeing, collegiate coaching and moral purpose.  A big part of Chris’s work is facilitating Teach Like A Champion workshops, which are running all over Australia in 2024. You can get in touch with Chris and check out what he is up to via his website at pwrdleadership.com.au Enjoy the episode!

    Matt Knight

    In this latest episode I’m joined by my friend and colleague, Matt Knight. Matt has a super impressive CV, which we dig into by discussing his pathway into teaching, how he ventured into consultancy and everything between. Matt has much to be proud of, but his number one is bringing about significant, sustained school improvement. Cobram PS, the school he led for several years, is still high performing three years after he ventured into the world of consultancy. Matt puts this down to the exc...

    Keay Cobbin - Curriculum

    In this issue I’m joined once again by Keay Cobbin, who was also my most recent guest on the podcast. There has been lots of positive feedback regarding our first episode together which you can listen to here. There are so many topics that Keay and I could (and often do) discuss, and for this instalment we decided to delve into all things curriculum. We both feel that post-COVID this is often the missing link in schools. In fact, many of the high performing schools we work with have gone back...
