Interview over the net

A big thank you to Stephen Heppell for taking the time to interview today's praise pod visitors at Rawmarsh Ashwood primary school today. It always feels special when someone gives you their time and attention; in this busy world it has to be the most precious thing we can give. Today we heard about teamwork, sharing, leadership, kindness, hard work, a great attitude to learning and wonderful achievements from our visitors. No wonder everyone felt so proud. And rightly so.

My favourite teacher is . . .


Magna was the venue for this BSF event. A thought-provoking keynote from Marcus Orlovsky kicked things off nicely, followed by a pupil presentation about their favourite teachers.
An excellent workshop from Clifton and Wingfield teachers sharing ideas from Sweden gave us lots to think about.
Key messages for me were; trust in our young people. Listen to each other. Don't look back too much, don't be afraid or look to blame and finally let's enjoy the process.
