    Jack is currently reading: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek but next on my list is ‘When the   Adults Change, Everything Changes’ by Paul Dix, as I have heard it is very   good! 

    Jack's top tips on consistency:

    1. Be   consistent at all times. If you say you’re going to phone home, phone home.   

       2. If you have a bad lesson or day with a particular class or student, you   must let it go and treat the next time you see them as a fresh start.
       3. Follow the policies. They are created for us, so our job is to make sure   we all use them. If we don’t, we only make ours and others lives more   difficult.
