Congratulations! 🎉
Thrilled to have contributed a chapter to this important book with my colleagues: David Gurr, Helen Goode and Lawrie Drysdale: Future-Focused Approach for the Preparation and Development of Teacher and Middle Leaders.
Thanks so much for being respondent in our Sustainable School Leadership symposium @alisonmitchelluofg.bsky.social - & for coming to my keynote today. I talked about how the global polycrisis is impacting on children, and therefore schools/leaders - meaning they must focus on well-being & care.
Real educational change doesn’t come from policies—it comes from people. The future of education is not in bureaucratic reforms but in grassroots movements led by students, teachers, and communities. #LeadChange #EducationReform
