Inspiring keynote opening to GEMS IB Conference from @manalrostom4 “I didn’t come this far to only come this far” @MrJamesEnglish @shafaque_r @HellyHurf @botes_rudi @Curryk23 @kirstydewilde @tjacksondxb @claire21treacle

The research of Kouzes and Posner indicates that seeking feedback is the behavior leaders fail at the most. Seek specific feedback. Don't ask, "How am I doing?" https://t.co/LJloEncgHc

What is a good IBDP education? How do we articulate the balance between the Mission and Vision of the IB w that of individual schools and contexts, and then how do we implement? #IBGC2023 @MrJamesEnglish @shafaque_r @Curryk23 @botes_rudi @HellyHurf

Give timely fdbk against clear criteria and ensure it is responded to with a new or adjusted outcome - simple! @JamesNottinghm #IBGC2023

If there is no outcome following our fdbk to Ss, that’s not time well-used. @JamesNottinghm #IBGC2023

Wait time #2 - the space btwn their response and yours, can yield more depth. Let their response sit for a moment, see what Ss do - they will add more, provide Eva or explain in diff ways. @JamesNottinghm #IBGC2023 @shafaque_r @HellyHurf @Curryk23 @tjacksondxb @MrJamesEnglish

Ts often get thanks for coaching winning teams, high grades etc - perhaps a little less so, for “changing lives” which they have the opportunity do, everyday @SueRoffey #IBGC2023

Learning to Be and Learning to Live Together need as much attention in our programmes as Learning to Know @SueRoffey #IBGC2023

The future of education - NO ONE should fail education. @SueRoffey What did the pandemic teach us about there being a role for everyone in society? What do we think post-pandemic? #IBGC2023

How might we enhance the service culture at our school using our ECA structure supported/inspired by IB Festival of Hope #IBGC2023 @FestivalHopeIB @MrJamesEnglish @Curryk23 @shafaque_r @HellyHurf

Most of the UNSDGs are 15% complete or less - with 50% of the timeframe having passed. What can / should schools and education contribute to get these back on track? #IBGC2023

Self efficacy develops from students overcoming challenges. We need to help our students get through @TheLearningPit @jamesnottinghm #IBGC2023

5 Commitments of Great Teams: 1. Commit to giving 100%. 2. Commit to getting better. 3. Commit to staying positive. 4. Commit to the team’s mission. 5. Commit to each other.

@PrincipalProj Always start with a focus on a core value from the perspective of how it applies to the teachers - not the students. Culture change requires everyone to be focused on the goal. It's not about what we want teachers and students to do. It's about who we want them to be.

We asked teachers what tiny shifts made a difference in their classroom—and their answers surprised us. Just a few words can have a positive impact! Here are 5 Tiny Language Shifts (that can make a *big* difference). 🗣️ 🧵1/6

AI has the ability to show empathy #oecdforum @shafaque_r

Standardization of recruitment processes risks losing the ability to account for those with challenges and therefore raising levels of discrimination #oecdforum

Challenges to ensure that those losing jobs can transition to the new roles - esp for marginalized groups within society

While jobs are being lost, new roles are being created to offset the impact #oecdforum
