A few shots from this morning’s walk. A gloomy start and then some real blasts of sunshine.

Tuesday afternoon.
We brought the children up here once on a day like this. 24 kids from the toughest corner of town.
Pretty sure they’ll remember that day more than the ones in the classroom.

Lovely to share a few thoughts in the latest issue of K12 Digest around 'observation'.
From my experience, pay progression, career stage and appraisal can be the bi-product of a more intuitive professional development process, not the end goal.
