You Have Information but What Should You Do With It?
• Triangulate It?• Discuss It?• Explore It?• Change Practice
Immediately?• Bin It?
@LeadingLearner
It is what you do with the research, experience, data
and feedback that really matters.
@LeadingLearner

The #5MinAchievementPlan by @LeadingLearner & @TeacherToolkit
Formative Lesson Observation (Quality of Teaching)
Leaders Create Cultures“Ways of Working & Being”• Develop Wide Perspectives• Differentiate Signposts & Destinations• Champions & Mass Participation• Give Time, Allow Time• Evaluate, Evaluate, Evaluate
@LeadingLearner
Give Time• Innovation Fellows
– One day per week/fortnight additional non-contact time for two years
• R&D Community Leaders– One period per fortnight additional non-contact
time– Cover Vouchers for staff in the community
• All staff– Two hours weekly CPD/Meeting time
@LeadingLearner
Allow Time• Most innovations are abandoned before they
ever reach maturity• Too many innovations/changes at the same
time lead to a lack of improvement• People get on board at different stages
– Our nature, our interest?
@LeadingLearner
Evaluate, Evaluate, Evaluate• The profession’s Achilles Heel• To often “Good” or “Best” Practice is because I
say it is• Evaluation may take different forms
– Quantitative & qualitative are both valuable and valid
– Discursive Evaluation– No evaluation is not a valid form of evaluation!
• Lesson Study provides an excellent model@LeadingLearner
Education’s Cluster F***
Are the Wrong Levers
Being Pulled toUnleash Greatness?
@LeadingLearner
Cluster Fuckklʌstə/fʌk
noun
1. A group of actions, events or outcomes occurring close together, in time or space, which create an absolute, complete and unholy mess of a situation. Normally left to someone else to sort out.
Definition
@LeadingLearner
Education’s Cluster F***• Incomplete & Confused Autonomy• Accountability Gone Mad
– Ofsted, Mocksteds, Limited Metrics– Performance Management & Related Pay– An Option for the Poor Which Lacks Coherence
• Demographic Time Bomb– Recruitment, Retention & Admissions
• Workload Challenges• Pointless Data Collection by Teachers & on Teachers• PD focussed on Competence & Coverage rather than
Excellence & Impact
