My favourite teams book this year! Blog to follow

Psychological Sagety....One of the most well evidenced areas of teamwork, under threat of becoming an empty buzzword! Join me for a 3-part blog series that explores research, misconceptions, and strategies! Thread....

When I was growing up and LOVED fantasy / sci-fi, it was derided as being geeky. But now!!! Funny how things change

Really enjoying this series from @samcrome.bsky.social. Some useful ideas and home truths for leaders! “Your rousing speech about psychological safety will be shredded the moment you handle a mistake without compassion or fairness.”

Great stuff here!

Super grateful to @samcrome.bsky.social for so freely staring his work - used some of his Research Ed slides to deliver Aspiring Middle Leaders CPD last week. Also shared the first slide with SLT today as we discussed leadership styles and values Thank you Sam!

NEW BLOG POST Psychological Safety is a vital element of team culture, supported by decades of empirical research. But is the concept surrounded by misconceptions? Has the meaning mutated? And what next? samcrome.com/2025/05/16/r...

Who doesn’t love an article that challenges your assumptions in the best possible ways. Well worth a read this weekend! #FluffyMcFuff

So excited to be finalising a two part blog post on the potential mutations and misconceptions of psychological safety that are emerging Your homework is to read my summary of Psych Safety, from 2022! t.co/HEybbF2dUc

Having lead whole-school assemblies this month at a secondary school (1500 people) and then a primary school (400), I can confirm that the primary made me much more nervous! Tailoring the message for students aged 4-11 was so tricky. Again, primary colleagues, respect!

So delighted to receive this today, well done @xpateducator.bsky.social! And yes I somehow made the cut and feature in this brilliant guide - thanks Jamie!

I hate to be that person, but I spent several hours today checking, scanning, filing and submitting my English Literature A-Level NEA coursework; the weight of the world has lifted off my shoulders! Phew - that's it for another year

Well I’m still slightly traumatised and fatigued after an inspection and NEA final admin last week, but thank goodness for a 3 day weekend!

A delightful couple of days in Guernsey, exploring the island and working with schools (not at the same time!) Can’t wait to return

Today @teachertapp.bsky.social publish our 2025 report on the state of teacher recruitment and retention in England — in partnership with School Dash and funded by @gatsbyed.bsky.social . A few key takeaways 👇 teachertapp.com/app/uploads/...

Thought provoking session today with @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social and @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social, who explored the impact of social media and smartphones on children and young people. It was lovely to see so many of you at our first CST Talks event. With thanks to Community Playthings for sponsoring.

Jonathan Haidt maintains that the attention problem caused by smartphones and social media is "even worse than the mental health problem ' @cstvoice.bsky.social

Brilliant, terrifying and a call to action Thank you @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social @cstvoice.bsky.social

Looking for a friendly, fun, informative education conference this summer. Anyone know of something good happening in the UK?

Really looking forward to this

Not using social media much these days, but rest assured I’m still reading, writing, thinking!

Today’s primary school adventure: Saw some great teaching and learning Told Year R if they ate their broccoli they would grow as tall as me (overnight!) Crushed a year 5 at basketball 1 v 1 (he challenged me, and I explained the risks to him) What a day ❤️

I spent another wonderful day at one of our primary schools! It was fun, uplifting, demanding and every single day I learn tons. Primary staff - I am so full of respect!

Why did I start this on a Sunday night 🤯

The lockdown anniversary reminded me of my own fitness journey that started then. This chap has been an amazing fitness buddy over the last 5 years - no fees, no travel time, and only need a small space and some dumbbells

Please share #Edusky

Friday - thank goodness! One of my podcasts told me today we’re 80 days into 2025 🤯 time is flying by

Had a brilliant time presenting to Cheshire headteachers at their conference in North Wales Such a beautiful part of the world
