About this deal

These kinds of experiences made me become interested in policy and the huge effects that policy can have in the school and Senior Leaders are the engine rooms of schools, driving school improvement whilst simultaneously building effective teams. Operational aspects of these roles, however, can often become overwhelming and pressures on time can potentially curtail this positive impact. This conference will create the space and time to reflect on what it means to be a high-performing leader and develop the skills to lead their teams. Alongside gaining insight from high-performing organisations within and outside of education delegates will also gain the opportunity to build their professional network. in the classroom. So I went to study for a Master’s Degree in education and read many of the wonderful reports produced by Hi Lucy ... this sounds fantastic! A really important project. I very much look forward to reading the results! I agree with you that high achievement does not automatically mean happier children. But equally, it doesn't automatically mean less happy children - Finland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Canada all do well in both PISA and the 'happiness index'. It's definitely important to consider what effect certain educational approaches seem to be having on children's happiness, and I will discuss this in the book, although it is rather a difficult relationship to come to any firm conclusions about given the difficulty in measuring both!

This time I was looking at regular state schools, but if I write another book I'd love to go and visit schools with different educational philosophies. Let's see how this one goes first! A huge thank you for supporting my book! It is only day 3, and already 34 people have put their faith and money into Cleverlands. I interviewed parents in every country I went to (open-ended interviews, opportunity sampling), but not enough of them to draw any general conclusions from my research alone. I'll write about the views of the individual parents I spoke to, and the impressions that teachers have about parental attitudes, but I'll draw on other research in this area too before making any sweeping statements!

Lucy is a qualified teacher, an education explorer, and an international education consultant. She taught science and psychology at a secondary school in London for three years before turning her sights to research and policy, and gaining a distinction in her Master of Education at the University of Cambridge. A well-appointed modern kitchen, with a range of floor and wall mounted units, a central island and breakfast bar, features a range of built-in appliances including a double oven, an induction hob with extractor over and a dishwasher. Double glazed Bifold doors provide access to the patio area and landscaped rear garden.

Situated just off the main route into the town the property has excellent access to the local supermarkets and the comprehensive school, both of which are within a very short walk.

Cleverlands is essentially the story of one teacher’s journey across five high performing education systems. Fuelled on curiosity – and perhaps no little frustration deriving from her time teaching in the UK state system – Lucy Crehan spent two weeks in each of Finland, Japan, Singapore, Shanghai and Canada. She spent time ‘living with teachers, listening to parents and learning what education looks like in completely different cultures’. The result is a book which should be read by anyone who has an interest in improving education – and a testimony to the merits of crowd funded publishing. psychology at a secondary school in London for three years before turning her sights to research and policy, completing a The well-appointed bathroom has a panel bath with mixer taps, separate shower cubicle, hand basin and WC, heated towel rail and a Velux window.

Hi! I first wanted to say that I'm thankful for the time you're putting into the book! My Wife is studying to become a teacher in Sweden, is a part time substitute teacher and special education's assistant (I think that's the word) for children with special needs while also being a passionate activist for autistic children's right to special education, something they sadly can't take for granted.

The front garden is laid to lawn with a pedestrian access from both sides of the property leading to a generous enclosed landscaped rear garden and patio seating area.

Through this series we bring together a range of commentators - academics, politicians, practitioners, policy wonks - and pushing them to bring some radical new thinking to some of the apparently intractable issues within education, not least the English education system.in PISA. But I did not feel that I could get a deep understanding of what that actually meant and looked like in the classroom;
