ITP - 108 Jess Gosling shares her experiences as an international teacher and mother, discussing the challenges and rewards of raising a child in different cultures. She emphasizes the importance of emotional education for children, the role of women in education, and the significance of community support through social media. Jess also provides insights into job searching for international teachers and the cultural adjustments that come with living abroad. Her reflections on education systems highlight the need for a more child-centered approach in teaching. Takeaways The transition to living abroad can be challenging but rewarding for families. Emotional and social education is crucial for children's development. International schools often provide a more flexible and supportive environment for teachers and students. Community support through social media can be invaluable for new international teachers. Job searching in international education requires thorough research and networking. Women are underrepresented in leadership roles in education, and initiatives like WomenEd aim to change that. Cultural adjustments are necessary when moving to a new country, and preparation is key. Early childhood education should focus on relationships and emotional well-being. Teachers should advocate for a more child-centered approach in education systems. Networking and reaching out to current teachers can provide valuable insights into potential schools.  Chapters (00:00) Transitioning to Life in Thailand (01:35) Navigating International Teaching (04:22) Jess's Journey into Teaching (06:58) Teaching Focus and Experience (09:05) Pathways to Teaching Qualifications (12:09) Building a Supportive Community (14:00) Job Search Strategies for International Teachers (15:30) The Scope of Jess's Book (17:37) The Importance of Preparation (19:36) Finding the Right School (24:22) Perspectives on Early Childhood Education (28:44) Navigating International Life with a Family (31:36) The Role of International Schools (34:20) Empowering Women in Education (37:34) The Importance of Early Years Education (40:25) Cultural Adaptation and Personal Belongings (46:20) Final Thoughts and Advice for Future International Teachers Additional Gems Related to Our Show: Signup to be our guest  https://calendly.com/itpexpat/itp-interview?month=2025-01 Our Website⁠ -  https://www.itpexpat.com/ ⁠JPMint Consulting Website  - https://www.jpmintconsulting.com/ Books By Gregory Lemoine: ⁠"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education"⁠ | by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed. ⁠"Finding the Right Fit: Your Professional Guide for International Educator Recruiting Fairs and Amazing Stories of a Teacher Living Overseas⁠" |by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.

I hadn't heard of the Women Ed Network prior to that, and I didn't know a great deal about it. So I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at this event.”   #women #education #GM #manchester #community #SocialImpact #NonProfit Hosted by Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe (https://www.instagram.com/meetthemancunian/).   Did you know:   ·     WomenEd is a global grassroots movement that connects aspiring and existing women leaders in education and gives women a voice in education ·      Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education, there are still gender and racial inequalities in terms of the numbers of women in senior leadership, the large gender pay gap and the number of women who want to stay in education yet whose requests for flexible working are not met.     Key resource: WomenEd   Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript:   (01:01) Meet Shanaz Hussain (01:53) Shanaz's Early Passion for Supporting Women (02:53) Success and Challenges of the Women's Group (06:09) Involvement with WomenEd (08:30) Current Activities and Challenges (12:12) Impact and Opportunities (17:46) Advice and Personal Reflections (20:34) Signature Questions   Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk

This episode offers advice, practical tips and inspiration for teachers who are thinking about taking on leadership roles within schools and for those already climbing the leadership ladder. Three experts discuss why teaching staff should aspire to leadership and the different pathways and roles within middle and senior leadership. What kind of skills are needed for leadership? How can teaching staff – including early career teachers – develop these skills and wider leadership experience? How can they dip their toe in the water and “have a go”? What kind of leadership opportunities can teachers look out for? We discuss different pathways, specialisms and CPD options, including via the Chartered College, WomenEd, National Professional Qualifications and other routes. What are the common barriers to leadership aspiration and how can we overcome them? And how can schools make middle and senior leadership attractive and more diverse? This is one of two episodes focused on career conversations. The second, out on March 22, will focus on wider career pathways and progression within the secondary school.

In this final episode of Series 2, we were privileged to speak to the inspirational Vivienne Porritt (@ViviennePorritt). Vivienne is a former headteacher and the national leader of WomenEd (@WomenEd) which campaigns for equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level in education.

Her drive and passion for fairness shone throughout the interview – by making women ‘believe', we really feel that the WomenEd movement is empowering women and making a difference to society's views on educational leadership. We found Vivienne a very humble, wise and passionate professional who cares deeply about making a difference.

(4:18) What does Vivienne think about the impact of labelling of individuals/students as ‘normal' in schools? (7:16) What does Vivienne believe is the best way to go about changing peoples' mind-set when it comes to seeing people as ‘normal' or ‘abnormal'? (8:35) How does Vivienne explain the movement WomenEd and what does she say that it sets out to do? (10:22) What does Vivienne say about the challenges that faced the WomenEd movement on Twitter? (12:15) What evidence does Vivienne have to suggest there is an imbalance in leadership roles for women in education? (15:31) What does Vivienne say about the international interest in the WomenEd movement and which countries are already involved? (21:57) What success stories does Vivienne give to show the power of the WomenEd movement? (23:51) How does Vivienne explain the role of the national leaders of the WomenEd team? (26:18) What advice would Vivienne give to young female teachers who aspire to lead in education in the future? (28:13) How does Vivienne say listeners can get involved in the WomenEd movement?

A secondary Science teacher by trade, Bukky is a blogger, coach, senior leader and has many strings to her bow as you'll discover in the episode. Keeping things eighties themed with the questions in this episode, I prompted Bukky with several pertinent questions to try and gain some insights into areas and tips that would be of benefit to many educators. Here are the questions that we covered, see if you can spot the song references!·       In a world where “it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it”, what does that mean to you in terms of edtech and how do you apply that in practice?·       Stop, collaborate and listen – when edtech provides us with so many opportunities to stop and be mindful, collaborate with colleagues and others and provide opportunities to listen, how would you recommend going about that?·       We can sometimes see a few things blow up on social media with teachers – in a world where it's important to show “a little respect” - how can we do that better as a teacher using #EduTwitter·       Thinking about career planning and that sometimes, “The only way is up” - what advice would you give to an NQT looking to progress in their career? ·       “If you could turn back time”, what tips would you give yourself about engaging with edtech companies and using their products in school?As you might expect, these questions brought about some fantastic responses and conversations, but you'll have to watch or listen to the episode to hear the insights shared!Watch the episode back here:https://youtu.be/ZzP4F1GIKbkTo learn more about Bukky, her work and her various social accounts, please visit Bukky's blog at https://teachleadco.wordpress.com/ where you'll find everything you need.

  A powerful source of learning and culture in any organization can come from having a well structured and supported learning community. It may be difficult in busy workplaces to prioritize creating and supporting learning communities, but the benefits of doing so are neuromas and can be the glue that holds everything together. To discuss the impact of thriving learning communities and how they can be fostered, I'm joined by an internationally recognized education leader who has been creating learning communities for teachers in several different contexts and countries. Liz Free is CEO and Director of the International School Rheintal in Switzerland, an IB World School. Prior to this role, Liz was the Founding Director of the International Leadership Academy at the Netherlands, and Head of Professional Development at Oxford University Press.

Kate McAllister is a force of nature, and a dear friend of the Rethinking Education podcast. Kate worked as a French teacher for 14 years, and has over 10 years' experience in school leadership roles. She first worked on creating a Learning to Learn curriculum in 2005, with the aim of helping pupils develop the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the often-difficult transition from primary to secondary school. She then spent the next 15 years refining and improving both the methodology and the results, culminating in the publication of Fear is the Mind Killer: Why Learning to Learn deserves lesson time - and how to make it work for your pupils in 2020 (co-authored by James Mannion, the host of the Rethinking Education podcast). In 2015, Kate took Learning to Learn to new frontiers when she set up the School Bus Project, a charity providing mobile education for refugees. Kate crowd-funded the purchase of a double decker bus, installed solar panels on the roof and spent 6 months working in refugee camps in Calais, providing much-needed education and support for people living in displacement. Following the closure of the Calais camps, Kate set up the Human Hive, a global community of organisations and individuals working together to create a more welcoming and inclusive world. In 2020, Kate sold her house and set out to travel the world with her daughter, studying alternative education models. Finding herself in the Dominican Republic when the covid pandemic hit, Kate decided to stay and open her dream school! The Hive School is now open, and going from strength to strength... This is a fascinating conversation that covers worldschooling - what Kate describes as her "Alice through the looking glass moment' - the importance of #WomenEd in helping her find her voice, and how she is 'rethinking education' by building her dream school!

In this episode Toria talks to Sharifah Lee about #EduTwitter, #WomenEd and the many ways that educators can support each other around the globe.One night, during a Twitter chat about the big and little #edutwitter voices, #TinyVoiceTuesday was conceived. It was born out of a frustration that Toria and many tiny voices felt, that when asked an educational question on Twitter the tumbleweed would follow – complete silence. Twitter felt like an incredibly lonely place where people with lots of followers were heard and those with only a few were not. #TinyVoiceTuesday is a place for shyer/ quieter/ less well-known edutweeters to ask questions, tweet thoughts & be heard. It is important that everyone feels that others are listening. Toria speaks for those edutweeters who don’t feel able to ask questions themselves. The Tiny Voice Talks podcast is just one of the many ways to share ideas and inspiration with educators worldwide.

Jules Daulby is a literacy and inclusion expert, podcaster of The Inclusive Classroom and co-founder and national leader of #WomenEd, a grassroots organisation created to support existing and aspiring women leaders. She started out her teaching career as an English and Drama teacher and until December, 2018 was Director of Education for literacy charity, Driver Youth Trust. Jules’ quest is to find a way to make classrooms inclusive and allow all children to thrive. She has a particular fascination with inclusive design of knowledge organisers, text books, worksheets and presentations. All her work is grounded in expert knowledge and experience of literacy and SEND in particularly dyslexia and ADHD. Jules believes that all behaviour is communication and accountability pressures can sometimes create environments where students with SEND are not valued. It is her ambition to persuade OFSTED to reward inclusion rather than exam results and push the DfE into making exams more accessible for young people who have speed of processing and memory difficulties. Jules is a prolific blogger and tweeter and co-founder and national leader for the grassroots organisation, @WomenEd created to support existing and aspiring women leaders. https://julesdaulby.com/contact-me/jules-daulby/ We natter about: 1) Potted history of your career to this point - as much as you like .

This week on Naylor's natter in association with the Teacher Development Trust I am in conversation with Dr Jill Berry. Jill taught for 30 years carrying out seven different jobs in six different schools after beginning her teaching career as a secondary English specialist . Since leaving headship in 2010, she has worked as an Associate for the National College for Teaching and Leadership, carried out a range of educational consultancy work and completed a part-time Doctorate in Education, researching the transition from deputy headship to headship. Jill has been involved in #WomenEd, a network designed to support aspiring and serving women leaders in education, since its inception in 2012. She has conducted academic research on the development of the initiative with Dr Kay Fuller from Nottingham University; spoken at several #WomenEd events, and contributed a chapter to the #WomenEd book: ‘10% Braver – Inspiring Women to Lead Education’ (Sage 2019). Jill is an advocate for the opportunities presented by social media for networking and professional development, tweeting @jill berry102 and blogging jillberry102.blog I discuss with Jill: Could you tell listeners about your story? 30 years teaching, English specialist, 6 schools, masters, deputy headship and headship In difficult turbulent times in education and the world, why would anyone want to make the leap into leadership? Do good teachers automatically make good leaders? Should good leaders always be promoted out of the classroom? Should experience be a factor in any promotion or does enthusiasm count for more than knowledge? What are the key principles for anyone who is thinking of applying for leadership or headship? Having been appointed to a new position in a different school, what are the challenges of the period between appointment and formally taking up the role? People talk about the crucial first 100 days in a new job, what are the challenges of the early months in post? Once you become established in the new leadership position , how do you move beyond being the new leader? How important is the ECF in recognising the leadership role of mentors and coaches Her book, ‘Making the Leap: Moving from Deputy to Head’, was published by Crown House . TDT Section In the TDT section , Maria and Ian talk about the transformational power of the CPD audit and the bespoke guidance given to schools . This work is something that I am fully involved in . Maria also talks about the TDT framework and the potential for enhancing subject specific CPD , she uses examples from very effective schools in this area. In the shameless plugs section: I am delighted to have become a Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching , This is something that means a huge deal to me and I am so appreciative of the opportunity to highlight the work of the College. I feel passionately that as a classroom teacher , I have a voice to influence the future of our profession. Thank you also to TeacherTap for featuring my blog 'A Routine Matter' last week. I really enjoy writing and I must find time to write more, I really appreciate the recognition as I know how picky they are. Thanks also to Phil Brown for his input here. Lead Learn Lancs draws ever closer , 12th October . You can see me (if you want to) in session 1 talking about how we are using research and evidence to change culture in schools. rED Blackpool has now tipped over the 600 ticket mark and we may have to start thinking about capping this so stay tuned!
