I can’t really explain why I keep having times where I don’t contribute to my blog. If you look at blogs around the web, it’s very common, but it’s also not like I don’t have a lot to write about.

I really want to write a lot more about the outcomes of the project that started this blog. I also want to write about the final term at school, which though I don’t think it’s ‘easier’ than others has an extremely different character to it. I want to write more on the Leading Happy Schools conference I went to, particularly my lessons from other schools and some reflection on Carol Craig’s talk there. I also want to write about the improving Teaching and Learning agenda at my school and that I really want to have a greater role in leading the training of new and beginning teachers.

I don’t think it’s because I don’t have the time to contribute, because the automatic writing used to get rid of the need to have a lot of time set aside, but I do feel a lot of pressure to write something decent when I’m writing about something where I’m trying to articulate an argument, and I think as a result sometimes I don’t start it – because that post seems very very long. Or I write it and it sits in the ‘drafts’ folder of this blog unpublished, so no-one can actually read it.

I’ve just enjoyed the football this week. I feel very very far behind at school. That’s quite stressful. Looking forward to really sorting out work in the remainder of the week.
