Elizabethtown College School of Graduate and Professional Studies’ Post

An excellent initiative with proven positive results.

Positive Education in the UK is growing rapidly. Mellor Primary in Stockport was the first school in the UK to achieve the Everyday Magic Positive Education School status. Recently I sat down with Jim Nicholson, Headteacher at Mellor Primary to talk about why he choose the Everyday Magic training programme for his school, and the impact it has had there on resilience, wellbeing and attainment. Here’s his advice for any schools still considering the Everyday Magic route to positive education. Look out for the full interview coming soon. #positiveeducation #positivepsychology #education

I'll never get tired of saying how much Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) has added to both my professional practice as an advisor as well as my personal mission as a philanthropist and yesterday's "For the Love of Gift Planning" workshop was no different. Great to catch up with colleagues and meet new connections, as well as hear from guest speakers - here's a few things I learned: Malcolm Burrows is not just plugged into the trends in gift planning like nobody I've ever met, but he also makes a mean Powerpoint deck complete with fine art on every slide. I thought I'd be learning about the crossroads we find ourselves in as an industry, left also with a little bit of art history knowledge. Susan Manwaring hates the terms "in perpetuity" and "endowment" and I now know why. Left her session with a new understanding of the importance of gifting agreements, what can go wrong, and ideally how to get out ahead of those issues. Janine Kuzma BA, CFRE and St. Joe's are doing fantastic work with their professional advisory network and I think that model can be replicated for many #charities especially in the #artsandculture sector to help donors be more strategic in their giving. Michelle Osborne, CFRE and Melissa Pang broke down some of the learnings they had from their digital advertising campaign. Apparently the more emotional-based images don't work as well as the practical ones... good to know. Kimberley Blease kept us from the pub... just kidding. Fantastic research, as always, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the inclination of donors to prioritize arts and culture as recipients of gifts in their wills. Lot of takeaways on that. #conference #cagp #philanthropy #giftplanning #learningeveryday

And there was a time when I thought that was a funny idea. I don’t remember the in between. The idea of separating by age is a bit funny, right? (𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬?!) And, it also makes sense how this just ended up being what we do in many schools.

The process of being curious about that is often the purpose and lesson, for me at least. I’m grateful for this school community and for those who’ve gone before us in reimagining a learning environment based upon trusting children.

OMG, just two days into a level 4 certificate and it's empowering - all those soft skills Executive Assistants (more often than not) naturally possess are recognised to be a cornerstone of a highly professional Executive Assistant - talk about validation. I am excited to see what comes of the rest of the lectures. #professionallearning #executiveassistant #executiveassistants #executiveassistantsineducation #suffolk #burystedmunds #collegesanduniversities #education
