This is a great paper by Joseph E. Mroz and colleagues on the science of workplace meetings. (short thread 🧵) - this area is absolutely core to @TeacherDevTrust's view on effective school leadership. Image
They begin by summarising some key findings from three key areas of meeting science. Image
And then go on with a helpful check-list of factors that promote good meetings. Image
They note that a good meeting can helpfully include a discussion of difficult areas but complaints that signal that problems are fixed/unmalleable begin 'complaining cycles' that are highly problematic. Image
They point out the multiple roles and responsibilities of the meeting Chair - a highly skilled role. Image
You really can't underestimate the importance of this. Meeting quality is directly associated with morale and job satisfaction - good meetings have positive effects and bad ones have negative effects. Image
The paper appears to be freely available here: core.ac.uk/download/pdf/2…

Rob reminds us of the nonsensical pseudoscientific joys of Brain Gym. @profcoe #rED23 Image
Rob still finds many teachers who believe this statement about Learning Styles is true. @profcoe #rED23 Image
Rob now reflects on Instructional Coaching, noting eg @jimknight99 more dialogic approach compared to eg Bambrick Santoyo more directive and step based model. @profcoe #rED23 Image

Looking forward to @leighhoath session here at @EducateNorfolk Annual Conference. Image
Climate education needs a very sequenced approach, not a series of one off events @leighhoath Image
Teachers really want climate science on the curriculum, BUT feel the existing curriculum is already overloaded @leighhoath Image

We're kicking off here at the @TeacherDevTrust webinar on performance management, with @DamienRobertsIP @chadda_amit @Concettina_J1 and chaired by @GarethConyard #TDTConf
.@GarethConyard: when things go wrong, performance management can be seen as a deficit model, about preparing for capability, rather than a positive system #TDTconf
.@DamienRobertsIP: appraisal can be tickbox exercises that can be dismissed with little productive evidence gathered, few constructive conversations. Staff can see them as judgemental, even when grading is now frowned upon. #TDTconf

Thanks to @ryandal for putting me onto this brilliant paper by @GerardSeijts et al. This absolutely nails why teacher performance goals aren't helpful if teachers don't *already* have all the skills/resources to achieve the performance. citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/downlo…
A performance goal such as 'achieve these class results' is only helpful for a teacher if they already have all the perceptive understanding of students' challenges, the skill and resources to meet them. It encourages them to prioritise attention/time/effort to this goal.
But if 'doing more of the same' or redoubling of existing efforts won't cut it, then use of a performance goal instead of a learning goal is likely to hinder the achievement of better results - it makes teachers less likely to focus on problem-solving & learning.

How have I been in this field so long and not come across this simply amazing 2010 paper by @KarenSeashore, Kenneth Leithwood and colleagues for the @WallaceFdn? conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/hand…
So many rich findings from a whole raft of quantitative and qualitative data. Here's a small sample at school-level
Some lovely elements from section 1.6 as a thread
