It feels like a lifetime ago that we started designing the new TDT NPQ Suite. So, it is *very* exciting to finally kick off our National Webinars with our first cohorts 🥳
🔗In celebration, here's 40 links to school leadership related reading materials that I recommend 🤓
In another ace lecture on people and change with @nmgilbride, we discussed Paul Bloom’s Against Empathy and considered the limitations of empathy as a guide to moral reasoning. I’ve been reading up on Bloom’s Rational Compassion.

Empathy induces us to identify with a situ of a single person, referred to as shoe-shifting. However, we can’t shoe-shift for multiple people so we tend to see the world from the perspective of one person. This will be biased and personal to our own personal perspective.
2/
Empathy can limit our thinking to only the present rather than considering the future. It leads to the overrating of present costs and benefits and to the underrating of future costs and benefits. This means empathy is not only innumerate, it is also myopic.

Thoroughly enjoyed digging about in Leadership for Learning: A Review of School L’ship Literature. aitsl.edu.au/docs/default-s…
Particularly interested in the 10 criteria for l’ship learning design.
These are listed in the thread below👇🏻 Which ones require more attention?🤔 #SLTchat
1. Philosophically and theoretically attuned to individual needs and system requirements.
2. Goal oriented, with primacy given to the dual aims of improvement in student learning and achievement,
and school improvement.
3. Research informed by the weight of credible research evidence.
4. Time rich, allowing for learning sequences to be spaced and interspersed with collegial support, in school
applications and reflective encounters.
