MADE IN SHEFFIELD HEADTEACHERS SESSION... PASS IT ON!

I was in Sheffield today for a breakfast meeting with headteachers, principals and colleagues from the schools involved in the Cutlers' Made in Sheffield scheme. We are meeting twice a year to review the progress we are making and to look at how we can continue to develop the work we have been doing.

TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING EVERYTHING... PASS IT ON!

We have come a very long way since I started out in this wonderful profession and together we have achieved so much with technology changing the learning landscape beyond anything I could have imagined. And by the way don't believe those miserable individuals who constantly run down what our schools and our young people are achieving… all the evidence suggests that our young people are smarter and cleverer than ever and so are our teachers!

CONNECTED LEARNERS MATTER... PASS IT ON!

What always surprises me is how much potential there is out there. Our job as leaders, as managers, as coaches, as teachers, as parents, as people who care, is to help individuals set their goals, realise their enormous potential and understand that this is not as good as it gets! And, I realise more and more as I get older that it is all about co-operation, teamwork, networking and partnering.

PASSION MATTERS... PASS IT ON!

Education is a passionate enterprise built on the interaction between human beings: teachers, students and parents.

DREAM AND DREAM BIG... PASS IT ON!

This year we all need to remember that exploring, sharing, connecting and contributing is what learning is all about.
