As we conclude another summer semester, it's crucial to recognize the profound impact of educators on our professional landscape. Teachers are the architects of our future workforce, instilling not just knowledge, but critical thinking, resilience, and innovation in their students. Their tireless efforts, often extending far beyond classroom hours, shape the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Let's take a moment to appreciate these unsung heroes of our economy. Their dedication to continuous learning and adaptation, especially in our rapidly evolving digital age, is truly commendable. How has a teacher influenced your career path or professional skills? Share your experiences and let's celebrate the educators who have made a difference in our professional lives.

High school students are our future leaders. And they are more stressed than ever with a ridiculous amount to decipher in a world that celebrates careers based on things other than alignment to strengths and interests. Figuring out how to plan for their careers can be overwhelming, and understanding the importance of those soft skills is an area not often emphasized enough. After months of discussions and a lot of interaction with early career professionals over the past 10 months, we need to go upstream further to help support kids earlier in their process. ➡️Communication needs to improve. ➡️Emotional intelligence needs work. ➡️Feeling overwhelmed is more common than ever. ➡️Professionalism is shifting but that doesn't mean overly casual. ➡️Understanding where they are strong is often not even discussed. ➡️Appreciating the importance (and permanence) of their personal brand is lacking. To support our future leaders, I'm launching a career coaching program for students that will open only twice a year - Fall & Spring. The first informational call for this program will be tonight at 7pm EST. If you're the parent or guardian of a high school junior or senior and you'd like to learn more, join us tonight for the call! (there will be another call in July - the program launches in October) Link in the comments and you're invited!

🚀 What an exciting month February has been🚀 1. We've dedicated a significant portion of February to refining our Curriculum and Assessment Framework. It's been fantastic to work closely together drawing inspiration from best practices across the trust and our own experiences. Together, we've crafted an example policy to guide leaders in defining excellence in the classroom and throughout the school. We presented this to leaders on Tuesday & I can't wait to dive into their ones and see the impact they'll have! 2. Feeling incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic primary science leaders. We've been hard at work codifying our objectives for the upcoming Summer term, culminating in the creation of our Primary go-to guides. These resources, have now been checked and uploaded onto our portal, are poised to elevate the science provision for our primary students. Excited to see the lessons come to life and witness the impact firsthand next term! 3. Our journey at the NPQEL has begun, and the timing couldn't be more perfect. The modules focusing on Implementation have been enlightening, and I'm thrilled to be connecting with fellow leaders. It's inspiring to exchange ideas and experiences, knowing that we're all committed to driving positive change in education. 4. Year 11 support remains a top priority across our secondary schools, and this month it has been on supporting foundation students in achieving a 4-4+. Team Science has been going above and beyond, and I'm hopeful that our efforts will be reflected in the outcomes. Together, we're empowering our students to reach their full potential. Exciting times ahead! Can't wait to see what March has in store. #Education #TeachingAndLearning #LeadershipDevelopment

🎉📚 Exciting news! 📚 🎉 I kicked off 2024 with a fantastic milestone—our research article got published! The journey from inception to publication took nearly two years, but the feeling of seeing our work in a top-ranking journal in our field makes it all worthwhile. What makes this even more special is that this accomplishment stems from the hard work of John and Ify during their undergraduate project. It was supervised by my esteemed colleague, AdaObiagu Obiagu. Teamwork truly pays off! A piece of advice for final-year undergraduates: collaborating with 'serious' or 'strict' supervisors can lead to incredible outcomes. Sometimes, the true value of disciplined mentorship becomes evident only after graduation. Don't overlook the wisdom and guidance; it can make a world of difference. Now John and Ify have an academic paper in a high-ranking Web of Science-indexed Journal with a 3.2 impact factor. You can read the full paper at https://lnkd.in/eKZVBBGG Cheers to more wins in the New Year!
