"If you are called to be a street sweeper,
you should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music,
or Shakespeare wrote poetry."

Six steps to help your children... the amended version!
My slightly edited version of what appeared in the papers over the last few days describing how to use an hour of your time with your child.
Wisdom!
"Wisdom seems to be possessed by those leading the most simple lives."
Pam Brown
"The price of wisdom is above rubies..."
Old Testament

A New Curriculum Framework!
It is deeply depressing that so many young people are simply drinking themselves to death and worrying that we seem unable to change people's behaviours. They simply won't stop smoking, won't lose weight, won't exercise, won't drive slower, won't put down their phones when they are driving.

Something to share with those you care about!
A friend sent me this and I wanted to share it with you.
The principle goal of education!
"The principle goal of education... should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things... men and women who are creative, inventive, and discoverers." Jean Piaget
Life is never ever dull, and the last term working in Nottingham and Sheffield has once again showed me the outstanding practice, the incredible young people, and the inspirational colleagues that exist in these amazing cities.
Back on line!
I am back on line after nearly a week without the internet! How did we survive without it?
