A new post on my new 'Moments in Recovery' blog in which I first look at my freshly amputated leg. momentsinrecovery.wordpress.com/2025/05/29/u...

I've been very quiet on here recently as I've been off work for quite some time for health reasons. Due to an old injury, I've had to have my left leg amputated below the knee. I'm still recovering from the surgery but I'll hopefully be able to make a return to work in the coming months...

My amazing wife @aileenkelly.bsky.social has started a new blog where she's begun to explore coaching in the context of parenting. There's some really interesting posts on there already which are worth checking out: caladhcoaching.com/blog/

Just got an email from my first coaching client. I worked with them last year on developing the confidence to give presentations. Today, they led whole school training and emailed to thank me for helping them overcome this fear. This is why I love coaching!

Hello folks. I’m here too! If you know me from elsewhere it’ll be lovely to connect. 😊

Today's open access journal article is around the factors which shape the recruitment practices of headteachers: "...from individual preferences of teacher quality in principals, to contextual and recourse-based factors in wider structural arrangements" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This open access article follows on really well from the one I shared yesterday, especially if you're looking for intellectual stimulation! To be honest, I found this one to be a challenging read, but it's really left me thinking... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is a fascinating open source article on the place of 'intellectual wellbeing' in the professional learning of teachers. For me, there are a lot of synergies here with the benefits of engaging in practitioner enquiry: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A quite practice orientated open access article on how middle leaders facilitate teams of teachers: "...middle leader facilitation is (1) a democratic process; (2) consequential to how teacher teams operate; and (3) socially contingent." www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is a really interesting open access article on the power of networking for school leaders: sciendo.com/article/10.2...

Long before I joined bluesky I'd stopped posting on the other place for many reasons. However, this fresh new place is feeling like the old days again so I thought I'd give it a go. Here's my first post, looking forward to (re)connecting...
