Tyronne shares his journey from actor to educator, creating a leadership legacy focused on respect, creativity, and empowerment that transforms both student learning and staff development.

• Started career as an actor before finding his calling in education after a supply teaching job
• Created a school culture centred on respect with simple practices like emphasising "please" and "thank you"
• Developed ESCA pedagogy (Exploring, Sharing, Connecting, Affecting, Innovating) to promote self-directed learning
• Balances top-down direction with bottom-up empowerment to maintain vision while honouring professional creativity
• Distinguishes between temporary compliance-driven improvements and lasting cultural change
• Uses staff voice mechanisms while analysing non-participation as an indicator of organisational health
• Advocates for reverse mentoring, pairing new teachers with senior leaders for mutual benefit
• Recommends maintaining family support networks, documenting positive moments, and continuously seeking growth
• Suggests creating an ongoing impact list rather than waiting until CV updates to recognise achievements
