Barry Smith - Learning about Learning

It never ceases to amaze me how ‘full on’ this time of year is.  So far this week we’ve had the change of timetable with all that entails for Pupil Support staff, pre-vocational college induction, S6 induction(where I gave a talk on leadership to our new S6), Thursday and Friday bring our S5 induction, we have a Rhythm of Life drumming performance on Wednesday night and I had an SQH tutorial on Monday after school after having completed our Unit 4 oral presentations at the end of last week(I passed thank goodness!). 

I’m out of breath just writing it!!

The space and time to think are at a premium just now, I have a summary of Michael Fullan’s Leading in a Culture of Change that I’d like to publish but it’ll have to wait. 

The title is a reference to how my brain is feeling, the roundabout is getting faster as the end of term approaches!  Then I’ll be able to concentrate properly on my Unit 4 submission.
