#4WeekPhDPush It's a big writing day ahead for me today - cups of tea then up & at it. Clarity of thought for my Discussion Chapter #PhDSky #EdD I think I know where I'm going with it now. Who else is writing today?

#4WeekPhDPush Aiming to do something every day for 4 weeks to make big progress. Today, a bit more planning for my Discussion Chapter. Drafting out a structure in preparedness for a day of writing tomorrow. #PhDSky #EdD
Enjoy! โ๏ธ
At the core of any good school is excellent teaching, which requires good behaviour, which needs strong SLT and sytems, but which also requires engagement, which needs a relevant curriculum, which requires subject knowledge, which needs support, but also empathy.
It's not simple.
... and excellent governance holding leaders to account for all these things and taking the long view. It's a system made of many parts all doing their 'thing' for children and YP. ๐๐ป #UKEdGovs
I'm starting a big #PhD push again today. I'm going to do something every day, however small, for the next 4 weeks to make big progress. Discussion Chapter .... go! Today, a bit of prep. I will read a couple of things that suggest ways of approaching writing this chapt. #4WeekPhDPush #PhDSky #EdD

It would be good to make more governance connections on BlueSky. Using #UKEdGovs is useful for connecting posts. I have a list of people who mention governance in their bios here bsky.app/profile/did:...

Pretty stressed about my #PhD at the moment, so I'm having a week completely away from it (catching up with family), then back to have an intense 4 week writing marathon. Discussion Chapter has just got to come together & I'm sure it will but .... foggy brain needs a rest. #PhDSky #EdD #UKEdGovs

Britain was, and always will be, a European country. Our prosperity, security, and influence depend on recognising that fact. Dr Al Pinkerton MP, Surrey Heath.
The geography of the continent has not changed since 2016 - Europe still remains our closest and largest trading partner, and our policies should reflect that. There's no need to look across the globe for trade deals when the largest free market in the world is at our doorstep.
Come back home late tonight and there is a hedgehog in our driveway. ๐ The warm weather this week must have woken him or her. Love them
