Some CPD reading - 6 Habits for being a Kinder person

I read a really interesting article today, from Coach Jinny Dizzler.  It talks about 6 things you can do to be a kinder person.  The article acknowledges that you probably already are a kind person, but these habits are simple and easy to remember and you can mark yourself out of 10 as to how you rate yourself on each one... they are in summary:  

- Be interested, not interesting
- Be positive
- Speak from the heart
- Give up Gossip
- Forgive and forget
- Be kind to me (i.e. yourself!)

Here's the link to the full article:

29th January - School Governor Conference.

Today I attended a School Governor conference.  It was a really interesting morning, with talks on the future of Education, what we need to do to encourage the 3 Rs in school and finally how to deal with diminishing financial resources.  You'd think with my background that my favourite session would have been the latter, but it was actually the one around the 3 Rs! There was lots of discussion in that session about feedback, high quality teaching, and collaboration - between school, parent and the child.  It was like talking through a collaborative coaching relationship where a manager is involved! It always great to draw these parallels when in other situations!
