As I said before #ukedchat, best way we can get SLT/SMT to work

with us is if they are on board here... or at muuua, or somewhere

similar...

example, they should listen, care, respect be forward thinking.

Ok, let's get specific here. What makes a good deputy head-

teacher? #ukedchat

SkoorBttaM 20:13

Shouldn't the senior LEADership team be leading others and

modeling best and innovative practice??? #ukedchat

Creativeedu 20:13

RT @PetermSkelton: Should it be role of SLT to identify good

practice and publicise/highlight it through school? #ukedchat in-school Tms area good way

#ukedchat is it a case of 'top down' from the government and

Oftsed that influences senior management, which prevents

creativity thoughts...

BobToms100 20:12

#ukedchat SLT & HTs can decide what they want to do with all the

new info from Twitter (if they join in) @john_at_muuua


#ukedchat keep all informed - then we know why things are being

done

TheHeadsOffice 20:12What 'right of reply' should there be to SLT if they are not playingthe game? #ukedchat

#ukedchat. Allocating time so groups of staff can share ideas and

then more importantly develop resources needed to implement

them.Catriona_O 20:11 @bellaale too right!! #ukedchat!

DEPJO 20:11

Senior leaders must remember teachers don't usually CHOOSE not

to do things - it is usually a question of prioritising workload

#UKEdChat


There is a wealth of good practice in most schools. I think it should

be shared #ukedchat

bellaale 20:11

Too many managers are great talkers, not great listeners

@matthewbritton I think Matthew some of those things u dismiss

are v important in the learning process #ukedchat

respectmycrest 20:11

SMT need to know about the issues in all curriculum areas, I've

never had a science specialist in the SMT of where I've worked

Cherise_Duxbury 20:11 @03mghanem #ukedchat what reponsiblities would you drop?

cherrylkd 20:11

@colport #ukedchat need to inform ofsted. It's not the choice of

SLT to do this

PetermSkelton 20:11

@cherrylkd that's not what they are claiming now. Just had the

new style inspection. they say it's about observations now

#ukedchat

louisehutch 20:11

#ukedchat realistic & achievable targets - yknow like we say kids

shd be given! No fake deadlines - be fair & firm :)

ICTmagic 20:11

SMT should concentrate of the 'Team' part & ensure they adopt

feedback from someone who hasn't taught for a while in same
