#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?

#FFBWeds There are lots of #Governors on BlueSky, but not always easy to find. Use #UKEdGovs in your posts for connecting. I have a list on my account & also connections with fab colleagues engaged in #PhD research into governance. @sarahjchung.bsky.social @danigov.bsky.social @tjwprice.bsky.social

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. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #UKEdGovs

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

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.
