Temperatures have fallen below zero in much of the UK this week, just as gas and electricity prices rose. From New Year's Day the price cap set by the regulator Ofgem on every unit of power we use will mean the price for heating, washing and cooking for a typical household will rise by just over one per cent. A typical bill will go up £21 a year to £1,738. But, that is in fact 10% or £190 lower than the price cap set a year ago. How are people coping with costs this winter?From New Year's Day the fees private schools charge parents will be subject to VAT at 20%. Previously private school fees were exempt. The Independent Schools' Bursars Association has told Money Box that schools are raising fees from this term by between 13% and 18%, though some are absorbing the whole cost while others pass on the full amount raising fees by 20%. What impact will that have on schools and parents? The Treasury says pupils numbers at independent schools have remained steady since 2000, despite fees increasing by around 75% in real terms since then. We'll speak to Rudolf Eliott Lockhart - CEO of the Independent Schools Association.From 1st January catching the bus could cost you 50% more. Single fares in England which had been capped at £2 have risen by a pound to a maximum of £3. What impact will that have on passengers?And 'tis the season to be - taking things back.

His reflections on how to identify and address the most pressing issues first will resonate with leaders in any sector.Gareth also touches on the importance of developing future leaders within a school. He discusses how he has fostered a culture of leadership development at Arndell Anglican College, creating opportunities for emerging leaders to step into roles and gain valuable experience. He believes that investing in the next generation of leaders is crucial for the future success of schools, especially as the demand for strong principals continues to grow.This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone in leadership, especially those navigating the complexities of educational institutions.

Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with Mike Cobb, the Head of School at All Saints Episcopal School in Tyler, Texas in a new episode which is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast. With a passion for student engagement and authentic learning, Mike Cobb currently serves as the head of All Saints, a 3K-12 school of 650 students. The school has received national recognition for innovative learning and leadership with Mike at the helm. All Saints has created innovative learning spaces and progressive programs that emphasize authentic learning and student agency. The design and implementation of ground-breaking spaces like their Collaboratory, Center for Innovation, Learning Farm, Learning Villages, STEM Zone, Outdoor Learning Center, Science Explorium, and more demonstrate the very best of active learning.  Like PS, All Saints is a member school in the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, and Mike will be leading the Visiting Team considering Presbyterian School's ten-year re-accreditation at the end of March.*************Excerpt from Mike Cobb in the People of PS Podcast:At All Saints, our working definition of authentic learning means having relevancy in your learning, having it be applied today, and having it be as real world as possible. For example, we have students run their own media agency at our school, and they don't just make ads for pretend. They actually represent companies and businesses and nonprofits, not only in our community, but all across the United States. We have students run our retail store. They 100% run the store. We have an E-cafe, and we have students that nurture and nourish chickens to sell eggs and carpool. That's what authentic looks like... having that intrinsic desire to be involved because it is yours which then flows into agency. Letting students actually have voice and choice about what their  learning looks like is so important to me. And it looks differently across ages. Our kids get to decide how many chickens we have, how they're going to sell the eggs in carpool all the way up to kids in our upper school building prosthetic devices for people around the world and deciding what that looks like. And so I think it's so important, though, for us to understand that school has changed.*************

Are you a parent, or a 'peerent'? If you're the later, while you likely have the best of intentions, you are not setting your child up for success and unfortunately doing more harm than good.Tim Dansie defines 'peerents', who want to be a friend instead of a parent, rarely say 'no' to their kids and provide little by way of rules or boundaries. Simply put: The child is in control.A parent, on the other hand, has rules. But most importantly, they listen. They don't necessarily say 'no' straight away, they hear the teenager out and don't make rushed decisions. Instead, they take the teenager through a negotiation process.Tim talks about how you can become a parent, instead of a 'peerent', so you can build a relationship based on trust. Tim also shares about resilience, to help your children develop character to overcome life's challenges.About Tim Dansie:Tim is a registered Teacher and Psychologist.
