New school, new challenges, new opportunities

Seeing as I'm on the cusp of leaving one job and about to start a new challenge, it seems apt to dust off and regularly contribute to the blog.
This past year has been spent treading water, professionally, through a variety of disappointments and setbacks, but this new role gives me the opportunity to get my mojo back and make a difference in an excellent school.
I've set myself many goals, both short- and long-term that I am to achieve. Chief amongst these is to blog regularly. So here I am, blogging. But what I really want to start doing in my blog is actually have something to say. ICT is such a vital and dynamic career, with so much about it to engage and excite teachers and learners; it is important that I contribute more to the sharing culture, rather than just consume it.

Here are the challenges and opportunities for the coming year...

  • implementing DCF
  • aintaining high standards.
  • upskilling staff
  • 360degree safety
  • building learning communities
  • school digital leaders 
  • social media presence
All pretty achievable and in-line with the kinds of things you'd expect to face when taking on a new role, I think you'd agree.
