ABOUT TODD LIAM

Our first encounter was not your typical one: he kicked me. Hard. And then he ran away and hid in a corner, waiting to see what my reaction would be. Little did I know that this little kid - I’ll call him Todd Liam - would change my whole teaching experience.

Climate Change ….. One of the most used phrases being thrown around by people. Not only in politics, but in education, business, and everyday conversations.

Ensuring students are thinking computationally

A good computing curriculum not only gives students the ability to understand computer code, but also a chance to problem solve. This could be as simple as a little debugging code or doing 5 line coding challenges in visual languages such as scratch. From there they can be truly creative and come up with solutions to real world problems.

Creating a collaborative culture with staff

Schools that build a sense of community, encourage collaboration and recognise the power of their staff are, for me, the most enjoyable places to work. Vision, values and ethos may, to the more cynical among us, just seem like buzzwords that are banded around too often by educators but, they have the power to shift the alignment of a school community, tip the scales in the right direction and start bringing about real change that benefits our young people.

For our young people in Year 11, it’s a term which will see them take on the toughest academic challenge of their young lives so far… For teachers, it’s a challenge about how to collectively motivate and inspire; a challenge about maximising potential; about performance. So for a Headteacher, why not also take up the challenge of developing a pre-exam assembly based on learning from the most successful team in history?
