KINDNESS... Pass it on!

Happy Easter!

Things to make you Happy this Good Friday!

Knowledge and Skills!

"For if knowledge and skills are the global currency of the 21st century,

countries will do well to stock up on their reserves."

"If you are already walking on thin ice, 

you might as well dance."

REMEMBER...

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass;

it's about learning to dance in the rain."

Evidence-based Policymaking!

It's strange how often we asked ourselves this question at Education Leeds because what every great organization, every great school and every great teacher asks themselves constantly... is what we are doing working?

The ARTS Matter!

“At-risk teenagers or young adults with a history of intensive arts experiences show achievement levels closer to, and in some cases exceeding, the levels shown by the general population studied,” a team of scholars writes in a new National Endowment for the Arts Research Report. “These findings suggest that in-school or extracurricular programs offering deep arts involvement may help to narrow the gap in achievement levels among youth.”

Futurelab Enquiring Schools!

"We can argue over the detail but one thing is clear, we need to create a generation of school leavers better equipped to create and innovate and technology is a powerful tool we can use to develop these skills."

REMEMBER...

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, 

learn more, do more and become more,

you are a leader."

John Quincy Adams
