The Australian federal Government have recently launched their first ever set of national Professional Standards for the profession. The standards themselves link performance management with an entitlement to professional learning thus embedding a link between formative evaluation, CPD and capacity building.
I simply can’t remember a summer as wet as this. Looking on the bright side perhaps it means students with hay fever had an easier exam time? It also makes weeding easier as I discovered last weekend after 6 weekends “on the road “ – a mix of work and festivities. But that’s it for the up side - so I am sharing a photo from a very sunny weekend in the Italian Alps to remind you what the sun looks like. Last time I was there in June it was snowing!

The Benefits of being a Laboratory Site
The longer days and snowdrops are telling me that we are on our way out of winter’s gloom –even if the colder weather feels more wintry.
I started the year alongside teachers and researchers from 50 countries across the world at the International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI) annual conference in Malmo. It was amazing to meet senior colleagues from schools in Northumberland and Bristol alongside researchers and school leaders from Chile and Malaysia! It was also exciting to learn that people from 5 different countries were so excited by my presentation about research route maps (www.curee.co.uk/products-and-services-overview/research-sat-nav) that they decided there and then to start to import them! I kept coming across people poring over them in coffee breaks and asking different questions about visuals, translation etc.
