Really needed this handbook in my life!
Read it, then read it again to really give myself time to think about the reflective questions.
It has been so helpful in thinking about where we are and how we move forwards @lekhasharma.bsky.social
Thanks for the recommendation @nimishlad.bsky.social

Really like this piece and the research should be very interesting.
"Culture isn’t just a feel-good factor; it’s foundational to how students learn." A great piece in @tesmagazine.bsky.social from @nordanglia.bsky.social's Kate Erricker: www.tes.com/magazine/lea...
How we’re helping leaders to become ‘architects of school culture’
Nord Anglia’s Dr Kate Erricker explains that the group is giving its leaders the tools to create collaborative school cultures - and why this is so important

Thank you @lekhasharma.bsky.social for such a helpful & insightful CPD session today!
I particularly found the ICAN framework helpful & feel empowered by this structure to support culture building. I also thought discussion around psychological safety hugely informative. Trust is everything!

Today on Myatt & Co: Do we really need research on learning the curriculum?
Yes, we do! But the paradox is that we intuitively know a lot of what works in any case.
So it’s really helpful when what we know works is also backed up by the cognitive science.
