  • How to create a presentation outlining your whole-school impact.25:07

    When applying for a leadership role in education one of the tasks you may be asked to do is a presentation to the panel on how you would create a whole-school initiative based on whole-school priorities and how you would measure the impact.


    This lecture takes you through the process of creating a presentation that focusses on securing outstanding progress in English  and Literacy for all students. Additionally, it includes a range of strategies and initiatives for further impact.

  • Stepping up to leadership: Interview Questions20:52

    This lecture will enable you to focus on the key areas of a leadership interview:  Alignment to the school’s vision, career history, results and learning orientation, resilience, critical thinking, curriculum, behaviour management, reflective, safeguarding and any final questions you may have.


    I would like you to incorporate  the ideas in Doug Lemov’s book, Practice Perfect, to further improve your practice:

    1.Practise the 20%: Apply the law of the vital few: with practice you’ll get stronger results if you spend time practicing the most important things. Focus more on practicing the 20% of things that most create value than the other 80% of things that you could plausibly spend time on. Practise the highest-priority things more than everything else combined.

    2.Design the drills: Use drills to distort the game and intensively isolate one or several skills. The strategic decision about which skills to refine is the essence of teaching. One of the keys is to develop the self-discipline to focus on fewer things.

    3.Shorten the feedback loop: One of the fastest ways to improve feedback ,which gives immense advantages. Feedback works best when it’s given and used immediately. Make putting feedback into practice right away the expectation. Timing of feedback beats strength of feedback every time.

  • Data Analysis13:04

    This lecture is focussed on equipping you to be able to develop analytical skills in interpreting and using data analysis to question, challenge and support schools in improving their performance.

  • Key behaviours required all all levels of school leadership.13:50

    This lecture will enable you to focus on the key competencies or behaviours required by school leaders: Moral Purpose, Contextual Awareness, Curiosity and Eagerness to Learn, Developing Others, Holding to Account, Impact and Influence, Initiative, Inspiring Others, Personal Drive, Resilience and Emotional Maturity, and Relating to Others. These behaviours are the ways of thinking, acting and being in order for school leaders to make an impact in their schools, and overcome some of the hurdles they encounter along the way.
