Phil Sharrock - To make a difference, you need to be different!

Phil Sharrocks joined me for this week's episode.  He's an ex-headteacher, consultant and foster carer and he says it like it is!  He worked in four schools that he supported to improve rapidly.  He took one school from inadequate to good in fifteen months and moved it from the bottom 20% to the top 15% of schools for progress.  He's an influencer on Linked in which is where I first encountered him and his message about allowing teachers to teach really resonated with me.  Phil really cares about teachers and teaching and is particularly passionate about making learning fun - for teachers and pupils.  His aim as a headteacher was always to create happy, engaged teachers and learners.  Ofsted described Phil as inspirational.  I'm sure you'll find him an inspiration too.   You can find Phil on Linked In and Twitter @philsharrock www.transformeducationcoach.com www.headteacherchat.com www.teachwellalliance.com  

Om Podcasten

The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and 26% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support schools to create places where people love to work. We support leaders to enhance the wellbeing of all staff in schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can promote wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of all staff.
