I’m a teacher.
I’m also on the Senior Leadership Team at my school. I’m supposed to Lead Learning across the school.
This blog is an effort at recording reflections on my professional practise. The motivation for it came from a Reflective Practice project I’m currently involved in.
Are you finding this platform(is that what it’s called?) OK I’ve been researching stuff but I just think I need to do it and find out afterwards

Is that you in the dim distance in the photo? Do you enjoy that kind of environment?

It’s not me, but I did take the photo. I love that sort of environment. My favourite place in Britain is this clearing at the top of Ebbor Gorge – where you can see Glastonbury Tor in the distance.

wow the happiness course must have been good news to you. I have heard Sessdon and soem of his staff before and have been equally impressed (thopugh it has not yet made any impact on the most untidy office in the university). tHE THING I keep saying to my teacher education students is that we (those who are responsible for thje school education of children for the next 40 years) need to maximise on what makes us as humans distinct from chimpanzees and computers.
If we dont start identifying what distinguishes us from those two beings, we will either return to the state of simply being another animal or rapidly become wholly replaced by machines. for me its as simple as that.
My granddaughter (at 2) has taught me what it is to be distinctly human, she shows me that we are Social, we are Meaning-seekers, we are Intellectual, we are Lauguage-users, we are Emotion-led and highly Sensory. This spells SMILES which I think summarises those essentail differences
