With this in mind I have developed a Ning site for beginning teachers. Please join up if you are a beginning teacher, or you may want to pass this on if work with/are responsible for newly graduating teachers. This network can be used for support, sharing of the great ideas, questions and the wonderful experiences that beginning teachers have.http://newteacher.ning.com/

Given how little learners remember about learning Graham Nuthall's Hidden Lives of Learners I wonder why a situation where they "revert to teaching in ways that they remember being taught" is viewed so pejoratively.
Perhaps the ways we remember are they ways that create memory - which is after all what learning is about - without memory we have only entertainment (aka engagement)
I am back from Christchurch where I have been reading Phil Rosenzweig's "The Halo Effect and eight other business delusions that deceive managers" - Louise - you just have to get a copy - it explodes all those managing change - creating successful learning communities, successful leadership workshops, seminars, and kneecaps the ict_pd successful cluster research reports, e-fellowship action research, and associated Masters and PhD theses that have endured in the last 10 years - exposing them as "errors of logic and flawed judgment" - Thank god for articulate myth busters.
I want to critique the ministry's Best Evidence Synthesis on School Leadership, by Professor Viviane Robinson at Auckland University to see if how it measures up to the Halo effect.
Yours
