    Frank and Cathal's paths crossed back in 2019 at an event run by Forum Strategy. Cathal has an extensive career in school leadership, much of it in the Special Phase. When he was leading and offering support to other senior leaders he became aware of the importance of engagement with key stakeholders and how consistency in the approach was important. During our chat, he explained how this led to him considering how best to support schools embarking on change and how to create confidence amongst, pupils, parents/carers and staff in the process. He has developed a Wellbeing Quality Mark and offers this to schools. He's always keeping an eye on schools/trusts wanting to engage. It's a fascinating discussion that covers, academic research, leadership styles, honesty and vulnerability. Hope you enjoy it.

    Following a few helpful comments from followers of our weekly chat we decided to focus a little more on adult education in this SPOTLIGHT edition. Simon Parkinson, CEO of the long established Workers Education Association (WEA) who was a guest on the weekly Frank and Stan Chat in August 2021 agreed to come back and provide an update on developments since then. We cover a host of issues including how the skills agenda is shifting nationally and the increasingly influential role of Regional Mayors, the continuing need to provide support for those needing to get into work, the changes to the rules around English and Maths to gain apprenticeships and how the need for specific skills are shifting with time. We even consider the skills required by stan's father in designing and making the steam engines that are on display in his office. Still relevant today? Enjoy.

    The 11th edition of SPOTLIGHT focuses on the work of Dr James Mannion and the insights he offers in his new book 'Making Change Stick'. James is the Director of Rethinking Education, a teacher training organisation dedicated to improving educational outcomes through self-regulated learning, implementation science, and practitioner research. He has a Masters in Person-Centred Education from the University of Sussex, and a PhD in Self-Regulated Learning from the University of Cambridge. Previously, James taught in secondary schools for 12 years. His latest book considers a very important question namely 'What proportion of school improvement initiatives improve pupil outcomes" and then goes on to consider the empirical evidence that supports the answer. James then creates a process that begins to unpick why some approaches are much less successful than others. The chat is varied, lively and makes clear his deep passion for the subject matter. Don't forget you can grab his book at all reputable bookshops and directly from John Catt Publishers. https://www.johncattbookshop.com/products/making-change-stick-a-practical-guide-to-implementing-school-improvement
