I've been asked to speak to our Glow/SSDN mentors tomorrow morning. What topic have I been asked to speak about? "My Vision"

A 30 minute chat about my vision for Glow/SSDN in East Lothian.

I think I'll try to cover the following bullet points:

  1. Strategic overview - what is we are trying to do? - multiple metaphors
  2. The planning process
  3. Learning and Teaching Policy - engaging learners and teachers
  4. 5Cs - consistency; continuity; collegiality; creativity; collective responsibility
  5. Cluster approach
  6. Systems thinking - all initiatives are connected - stepping stones
  7. Fire-aim-fire
  8. Reflection-in-action - blogging
  9. Non-deficit model - having faith in people
  10. No model of best practice
  11. Removing obstacles/removing excuses
  12. Avoiding Masterclass Handshake
  13. Mentors as Critical Friends
  14. Dependency - to independence
  15. Reversed hierarchies
  16. Community of learners
  17. Mutual benefit
  18. Extreme Learning/Connected Learning - an example
  19. Tipping point - an epidemic - connectors (SSDN mentors)
  20. Local action - global influence

Here's the podcast of the presentation
