Short Story: Have you seen her? “Have you seen Chloe?” I ask. “I thought she’d be home from school by now.” It’s an hour since the end of school and my daughter, is not back yet. I phone a friend whose son is in Chloe’s class. “Have you seen Chloe?” She says she hasn’t seen Chloe since yesterday. Oh man, where could she be? I start to feel unease rising in my chest. Where is she? I know the moment I see her everything will be all right. I phone another friend. “Have you seen…

Education: My motivation (This is a transcript of a speech I gave recently to staff at a school I visited) Why am I motivated to be a teacher? An educator? Why am I motivated to be a Senior Leader? To answer that I will have to tell you some things about myself. My motivation comes from the belief that education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world (Nelson Mandela). For me this works on two levels. First on the global level. Education can change…

Critical Thinkers in the Post-Truth World To discuss the purpose of education one must begin by defining terms. The corollary soon reached is that any such discussion is a necessarily broad church.

It is plump and juicy. It wriggles and writhes. Forgetting them for so long, it is as if I didn’t even know they existed. And yet of course they do and today…
