    How to Democratise Your Data | A Conversation with Chris Scorer

    Chris Scorer and Shane Leaning explore how schools can create a data landscape that aligns with their diverse objectives, especially in international schools. We discuss the reluctance of data leads to embrace full transparency due to regulatory concerns, the educational journey parents and teachers must undertake to understand data, and practical strategies for integrating data into daily teaching. One striking point of our conversation was the tension between teacher intuition and data-driven decision-making. Chris eloquently argued that data should serve as a supportive tool for teachers rather than a rigid directive. He shared practical strategies for overcoming teacher resistance to data, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces for teachers to engage with and explore data without the fear of making mistakes.

    How to think wide with your next challenge | Change Series 1.3

    In part 3 of his series on organisational change, Shane discusses the importance of the discovery phase in organisational change in schools. He emphasises the need to break the cycle of repeatedly addressing the same problems by exploring multiple perspectives and challenging assumptions. The conversation highlights the significance of building trust and connection within teams to facilitate open dialogue and innovative solutions. Leaning also stresses the value of diverse thinking in improving outcomes and the necessity of thorough discovery to avoid poor decision-making. Takeaways ·     The first answer is rarely the best one. ·     Discovery is about exploring options, not making decisions. ·     Building trust enables free expression of thoughts. ·     Asking 'What else?' helps uncover deeper challenges. ·     Urgency can push change forward. ·     Unfreezing our thinking is essential for change. ·     Groupthink can lead to poor quality decisions. ·     Diverse teams bring improved accuracy and innovation. ·     Challenging assumptions is crucial in the discovery phase. ·     Connection is foundational before moving into discovery.

    The Teacher Retention Crisis | A Conversation with Haili Huges

    Haili Hughes and Shane Leaning discuss the ongoing crisis in the teaching profession, focusing on the challenges of teacher retention, the impact of toxic leadership, and the need for a supportive culture within schools. They explore the internal and external factors contributing to the crisis, including public perception, accountability, and the importance of psychological safety for teachers. The discussion emphasises the need for educational leaders to create environments that nurture growth and well-being for educators, ultimately benefiting students as well. Takeaways ·     Teacher retention is a crisis in many countries, including the UK, and is influenced by factors such as erosion of respect for teachers and negative media portrayal. ·     Toxic leadership is a significant problem in schools and can lead to high levels of stress and burnout among teachers. ·     Creating a supportive and empowering culture in schools is crucial for retaining teachers and promoting their well-being. ·     Leaders should prioritise teacher agency and provide opportunities for professional growth and development. ·     Accountability is important, but high-stakes and performative accountability measures can be counterproductive and erode teacher creativity and self-efficacy. ·     Building a sense of belonging and community among teachers is essential for creating a positive work environment.
