Welcome back! 

Want to create a culture of effective learning and creativity? Of course you do. The real question is... HOW? On this episode Nicola Crawley shares her work on using Compassionate Cultures to create an organisational culture that nurtures true learning and creativity. We also discuss how Nicola's Compassionate Cultures model supports the work of the Education Workforce Council and Welsh Government by building in supervision and reflective practice.

Something for everyone! The principles discussed apply equally to Senior Leaders who are trying to impact the school culture to classroom teachers and learning support assistants who lead the culture of their learning environments. 

We hope you find it useful.
