When you watch other colleagues teaching, because everybody comes at things from a different perspective or a different starting point in terms of who they are as a teacher." — Alison Peacock"We've chosen the people we think will make good teachers, we've trained them as best we can, it seems to me like maybe we should trust them." — Ed Finch"I think there's a danger that the pendulum has swung so far in a particular direction, that the importance of criticality and the importance of professional judgment is sometimes lost." — Sam Twiselton"We all know, hopefully, what it's like to work for an inspiring leader, someone who recognises us, notices us, gives us credit for ideas, engages us." — Alison PeacockResource recommendationsChartered College.
