A perspective on leadership development

Conceptual build:
1⃣ Complex adaptive systems
2⃣ Leadership is a social process of influence
3⃣ Leader vs leaderSHIP development
4⃣ Improve leadership through improving social interactions

🧵1/8
1⃣ Schools are complex adaptive systems

▪️Interdependence
▪️Nonlinear
▪️Patterns of interaction between people
▪️Emergence of behaviours and capabilities from interactions (as opposed to top down imposition)

We can Influence but not control complex adaptive systems.

2/8
2⃣ Leadership is a social process of influence

How can we influence others to agree on goals and work towards them?

What big ideas sit at the heart of your behaviour strategy (if you're a leader) or the way that you manage your class (if you're a teacher)?

Some to consider:
🧵
Paul Dix's 5 pillars of practice:
1⃣ Consistent, calm adult behaviour
2⃣ First attention for best conduct
3⃣ Relentless routines
4⃣ Scripting difficult interventions
5⃣ Restorative follow-up
Rob Long's mantras:
💬 Analyse, don't personalise
💬 Calm when they get it wrong, happy when they get it right
💬Fight fire with water
💬 To change their behaviour, change your own
💬 If you can predict it, you can prevent it
💬 The problem is the problem, not the child

A 🧵 on school policies…

1/14
What do we actually need policies for?

Firstly there are statutory policies (for England):



2/14gov.uk/government/pub…
Looking down this list, it’s clear what they have in common. Wherever we need fairness, equality, or clear standards for safety, there’s a policy.

School and MAT leaders: What’s your school improvement model?

How do you go about improving your school?

Here’s a model and a thread explaining it…

🧵

1/11 Image
First some assumptions about school leadership.

▪️Schools are complex
▪️Improvement is more about problem solving than applying a ‘formula’
▪️Problem solving requires expertise
▪️(Groups of) schools therefore need to be good at building and sharing knowledge

2/11
That last point is critical not just for the chain of reasoning above but because there can be no improvement to children’s outcomes without the individual adults, teams and the organisation as a whole learning more, better and faster.

Self evaluation and strategic leadership

An emerging idea on integrating the two into a better organised mental model of school leadership

Feedback please, Twitter!

🧵

I’m never satisfied with the whole SEF / school development plan process.

I think that we should prioritise structuring our thinking over filling in proformas:

mrnickhart.wordpress.com/2022/09/23/sef…

2/22
So I’m proposing a structure of the following:

▪️Facts
▪️Assumptions
▪️Maps
▪️Priorities
▪️Early indicators

Let’s take each one in turn…

Is teaching and school leadership more difficult now than pre-pandemic or pre-2018 and the new EIF?

Some thoughts on complexity and sense making.
The feeling from talking to teachers is that it is more difficult now.

But why?

My hypothesis is that we are suffering from cognitive overload in schools at the moment.

What is contributing to the cognitive overload?
Many say there is a boom in special and additional educational needs.

Less funding.

A recruitment crisis.

Increased expectations on teachers and leaders from the new EIF.

A legacy of increased absence due to illness.

What else? Please share…
