"A great school leader should never stop being a great teacher.

I am a leader, a teacher for life, and a life-long learner. 

Each day in a school brings new learning for leaders, teachers and students. 

Three things I believe about education:

• Great teachers earn the respect of their students, through building authentic, respectful relationships, clear & consistent expectations, and the provision of a supportive learning environment.

• Explicit teaching reaps rewards.  A great teacher recognises the diverse needs of students and provides targeted, differentiated instruction.

• An inquiry-based, co-operative learning model works.  Students must be encouraged to take risks, make discoveries, think critically, and be creative."
