  1. Welcoming the hurricane www.belmontteach.wordpress.com @BelmontTeach

  2. “The good news is, we make the difference…. …..the bad news is, we make the difference!” • School NOT important, Classroom IS • Improved teacher quality = Improved achievement • 6 months Vs 2 years • Disadvantaged students achieve at SAME rate

  3. The “ok plateau” Years of teaching experience Rivkin, Hanushek and Kain (2005) from Dylan William’s Keynote at SSAT 2012 conference – based on 4 different models of measuring teacher quality

  4. The choice is YOURS! Plod or practice? Ericsson’s “Iceberg illusion”

  5. 10000 hours

  6. Practice makes perfect? We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore, is not an act, but a habit

  7. Deliberate practice... Requires: • Humility • Narrow focus • Considerable effort • Regular practice • Small/steady steps • Increased challenge • Grit • Resilience • Perseverance • Growth mindset • Commitment from school leaders Looks like: • Reading/research • Share ideas • Reflection and thinking • Observe others/be observed • Analyse best practice • Isolate skills / integrate • Peer/coach feedback • Record what does/doesn’t work • Repetition/tweaking …IS HARD!

  8. 80 20 Pareto principle

  10. Butterfly effect In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependency on initial conditions in which a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorentz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier.
