#Leadership Nuggets:
Great #leaders lead people, they don’t manage them. A person will always remember (with disdain) how you made them feel when they were managed.

An exciting announcement from the team at ViVEDUS. Teachers can create lessons at the click of a button, perfectly aligned to curriculum, National Professional Standards for Teachers, and evidence-based pedagogies #takelearningbeyond

and the best part, it is about teaching young people the skills they need to thrive in the AI era.
It would be great to chat more. Connect with me via email paul@vivedus.com

I am bias. I and a team of teachers & researchers spent the best part of the last 15 years developing Vivedus. It is designed to support teachers, transform their practice and give school leaders insights they have never had before to help with school improvement.

Readers might be interested in the work of Vivedus, an EdTech company that provides teachers and schools with the tools to teach the skills young people need to thrive in the AI-drive world

To compliment the webinar series, schools and teachers might want to have a look at the work of Vivedus www.vivedus.com

NCCD made simple: Why schools struggle with evidence collection (and how to fix it) “Seven in 10 people who joined the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in the past year had a primary diagnosis of autism, and most were children” (The SHM, 19 August 2025). The NDIS was intro...

The number of students with a disability diagnosis has exploded since the NDIS began, and with it, the burden on schools. Each student requires an IEP. Each IEP requires evidence collection. An NCCD audit can bring penalties and panic. bit.ly/3JvgMXf

A longer Leadership #Nugget As the New Year began a cascade of announcements inviting congratulations were being made on LinkedIn: “I’m happy to share that I am starting a new position at…!” At the end of every year, in any orga...

A longer leadership #Nugget

A measure of a great leader is how they treat their exiting staff. If you are in a position of leadership (or management), the question at the start of this New Year to ponder on is, “How much do I care for the people I serve?”

Well worth the read. Yuval Harari’s new book, Nexis, is a sobering picture of a world dominated by AI

AI, the biggest disruptor the world has ever seen I don’t understand why schools across the country are setting up committees to look into the application of AI. I don’t get it.

Sandcastles on a beach. You cannot stop the tsunami that AI is bringing to education. What we need is a whole-scale rethinking about curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.

The fundamental question is, "what is the purpose of education?" Sadly, governments (and many schools and educators by association) have lost sight of what an education worth having actually looks like, and indeed if you can, or should measure its outputs.

91.% of principals want their school to be know as an innovative school, but what does innovative mean, and why do they want to be know as innovative? If you are a school leader, please take 2mins to respond to this survey: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

In a recent survey 91.7% of school principals want to find a cost efficient way to support all their teachers to grow professionally. If you are a teacher, what would you love to support your professional growth?

Teachers: If you found an beautiful, Turkish oil lamp washed up on a beach, cleaned it with a rag and discovered you released a Genie who said, “I will grant you three wishes to make your job as a teacher easier”. What would your wishes be?

#Leadership nuggets:

Great leaders regulate their emotions. They always remain calm, polite and non-judgemental.

Carrots I recently grew carrots for the first time. Now, technically, they’re “organic,” which could explain why they look so unimpressive compared to the plump ones in the supermarket (see the picture for a ...

Leadership nugget:

Exceptional leaders know when to step back. They can gauge when they’re performing at their best and when they need to rely on others to ensure the quality of decisions remains high.

I am blown away at the moment. The Dev Team at ViVEDUS have begun a prototype for the next level of AI within our Platform. The Vivedus AI Assistant will now deliver professional development and reduce the time it takes to plan for learning. This really is a game changer for teachers and education.

If you could eliminate a single obstacle standing in the way of doing something extraordinary at your school, what would that barrier be?

I think I would invite three teachers together with the Minister for Education

After 25 years as a principal, and dealing with significant trauma, I believe every Headteacher should have a supervisor, not unlike counselors do
