About:

This week we meet Diana-Grace Morris, Assistant Principal at Ridgway School, Wellington. She’s passionate about futures thinking, complexity and challenging some of the norms and assumptions of teachers work. Today she shares her doubts about what raises achievement and offers some new approaches to student and adult learning.

 

Key Points:

  • Warmth of interaction as a priority

  • Focussing on student experience, one student at a time

  • Collegial vs congenial relationships

  • ‘Commoning’ as a way of learning together in public

  • How ‘getting it right’ can sometimes be the wrong focus

  • How to move into uncertainty
