What teaching taught me
How much can be done in a year
How the system works
How to stay one step ahead with IT
It is possible to do 50 things at once, especially if the bell is about to go
Skimming can be OK but evaluation is better
Structure and goals are a good dynamic
People appreciate an organised approach
Plan ahead and explain clearly – over and over again
Systems have to work, be quick , simple to use and have a purpose
People want clear decisions made for good reasons with the implications worked
out
It helps being able to find things when you need them
Preparation, delivery and assessment all take similar amounts of time
It is good knowing where you are meant to be and what you should be doing
Do it now works
Learn as you go along
I prefer projects, one to one, advising rather than whole class teaching
I can start work at 8am
1 hour 15 mins then 15 mins break is a possible patterns of work
There are problems caused by lack of integration of 2 parts of the organisation
Collective responsibility – getting on with it together – is essential
Resources that are too complicated are wasted
Big trips and events are hard work but memorable
Celebrate rites of passage
Seeing the achievement of past years can be very inspiring for the current year
Big things come from small seeds: a newly equipped Tanzanian school came from a student who visited and raised money. Acorns can turn into oaks.
