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.Click here to see the double diamond model.This episode is supported by the International Curriculum Association.

I talk with Alex Seigel on how educational trips are a valuable part of a school's curriculum, providing students with transformative experiences and fostering intercultural understanding. And a great trip includes a balance of key sites and unique experiences, tailored to the interests and educational goals of the students. Adventure leaders and local experts play a crucial role in organising and guiding the trips, providing insights into the destinations and facilitating connections with local communities. These trips can have a long-lasting impact on students' lives and careers, and it is important for schools to assess and measure this impact. Overall, educational trips offer a powerful way to enhance learning and broaden students' perspectives.

In this special episode, host Shane Leaning shares a recording from a session he co-presented with Efraim Lerner at the Festival of Education in the UK. They discuss their new model for driving organisational change in schools from within rather than relying on outside consultants and experts.Shane and Efraim believe that many schools have become overly dependent on external guidance, leading to a loss of confidence and agency among educators. Their model aims to empower schools to regain control and make decisions at the local level by tapping into the collective wisdom and expertise that already exists within the school community. By engaging diverse stakeholders in a structured process of discovery, alignment, exploration, and delivery, schools can drive sustainable change that genuinely meets their unique needs and challenges.

My guest this week is Dr Michelle Tytherleigh author of Positive Education at all Levels: Learning to Flourish, and we are talking about how we can use positive psychology in the classroom to students to flourish. Martin Seligman asked two questions: In two words or less what do you want for your children? In two words or less what do most schools teach? To answer these questions so that the responses are not contradictory or incompatible Positive Education recognises the need to incorporate wellbeing into education, into the everyday learning experience and needs to involve the whole community - teachers, leaders, parents and student. In this podcast we look at how we can do just this. Link to Michelle's book: https://books.emeraldinsight.com/download_pdf.php?k=9781837531578 Link to Worthit: https://www.worthit.org.uk/

Rob's work on the EEF Toolkit and the Sutton Trust report highlighted existing evidence about cost-effective interventions, and the publications shattered a lot of educators' previously held beliefs.

Jo Palmer-Tweed has worked in education for the past 26 years and she has packed so much in during this time. She has been an advanced skills teacher in Drama, a primary headteacher in an improving schools team, an advisor at the Department for Education, the Strategic Lead for the Expert Subject Advisory Groups (which is a group of 300 independent experts across the UK), and on top of all that she is currently the Executive Director of Essex and Thames Primary SCITT. Jo is also a founding fellow of The Chartered College of Teaching and is an advisor for a range of organisations in the UK, including The Teacher Development Trust, The Goodall Foundation and she is a Trustee for The Centre for Studies on Inclusive Education. On top of that, if she can find any spare time that is, she also works as an actor and voice over artist. With a CV like that you can see why Jo has so much of interest to say to anyone who is passionate about teaching. In this podcast we discuss ... Why you need to be subversive to make sure the curriculum is as good as it can be for the children you are teaching. The need to accept nothing, question everything and follow your gut. Do what is right for the pupils in your class. How acting and teaching complement each other. Both need you to make a human connection with people. The fact that the best teachers have something that makes them stand out in the classroom. They have a presence that makes students want to look at them and connect with them. Why intuition is such a vital part of teaching. The need to have your pupils' best interests  at heart and the desire to help them develop into a well-rounded person. The fact that there are hoops you have to jump through as a teacher, but there are many you can skirt around so you do what is best for the children in your care. Why teaching practice may not be really enjoyable, but if you're with a great teacher you can learn so much from observing what she does to be successful. The importance of putting time into lesson preparation. It is worth every second because then you can be really confident in the classroom. Over time you get faster at planning so do the ground work and you will reap the benefit in class. Why tricky classes are often the outcome of a teacher not getting the learning climate right for the children they are teaching. The value of learning to change what you're teaching if something is not working. It's tricky to do when inexperienced but it is so beneficial that it is a skill well worth learning. Why learning the science behind learning and pedagogy is vital. When this is blended with great planning and your own intuition you can achieve great learning outcomes. The importance of creativity, even though it is much neglected and underrated. There must be space for things that aren't planned if you are going to excite and motivate children and get the most out of every lesson. And there's lots more, including Jo's first nativity production, which was eventful to say the least, and must have been the basis for the film, 'The Nativity'! You can connect with Jo on ...

To kick off this “Tom & Emma” episode of Mind the Gap, Emma Turner discusses what's been on her mind: Culture (0:45). She refers to a diverse sampling of recent reading on leadership and culture, from John Tomsett and Jonny Uttley's Putting Staff First, to a Teacher Development Trust working paper on school culture, to Anthony Quinn's Klopp. Tom and Emma discuss the factors that contribute to a strong culture, the actions that can be taken to build such a culture, as well as some of the “don'ts.” In the next segment (10:45), Tom discusses assessment, a topic that's been on his mind recently. He refers to recent discourse around the purpose of exams and the proper ways to validate children's learning. He shares some of the recently proposed assessment alternatives and why they've come up short, as well as the many factors we value in children's well-rounded development, which we can appreciate better without attempting to measure them. Next, we get to Emma's Reading List (20:45). She recommends Bennie Kara's A Little Guide for Teachers: Diversity in Schools, and both she and Tom discuss the importance of the subject matter. Kara will be a guest on an upcoming episode of Mind the Gap. On Tom's Reading List (26:55), he recommends a trio of books from John Catt's “In Action” series: Generative Learning in Action, Cognitive Apprenticeship in Action, and Cognitive Load Theory in Action. He also recommends the free paper What Should Schools Teach?: Disciplines, subjects and the pursuit of truth, available from University College London.

Mark McCourt, the UK's leading authority on teaching for mastery, is the guest on this episode of Mind the Gap. In the discussion, Mark shares his perspective on mastery and also addresses some of the misconceptions. In particular, he shares that mastery, by definition, means “Bloom's mastery,” and also explains “Mastery is not a curriculum. It is a model of schooling.” Among other ideas discussed, Mark warns the education community not to equate anecdotal experience with true evidence of efficacy, explains why it should be the norm that schools “try to understand what students know and don't know, and teach them the stuff they don't know,” and describes his belief that early grades teachers must be the most skilled.
