Author Charles Duhigg and broadcaster Beverley Wang have made a profession out of having good conversations. They share how deeper listening, laughing more, and slowing down can help. ab.co/3JoGPft (via ABC Radio National)

While the principal is the thermostat, the culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.

Listening is not simply hearing the words that are spoken. Listening is understanding why the words were spoken.

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

School inquiry projects can be a laboured and drawn-out exercise.
By relying on one output, there is the chance that some students don't meet the 'quality' threshold.
When you use tight feedback loops, students get a better sense of where they are and how to progress.
