Editor's Notes
- Resarch / gather information – bias , sources of information
- Introduction to session and myself.
- Quick presentation
- Dotacracy activity
- Enquiry is.. Post it activity? – what is enquiry? Examples of enquiry seen in teaching practice,
- Reinventing the wheel – it is very likely that there will be a presentation out there that you can edit / change already
- Learning is our core purpose – everything should link to learning. My questions – how will this imporve le
- Two questions that I try to get a yes to. Filter the downwards pressure – don’t pass too much downwards

- How can you overcome barriers? Never expect anything you can’t do yourself – seek advice and help as well as give it
- Culture of support and CPD – drop ins, observer and be observed
- Finally – all too ay to focus on the negative – stay happy. Get out for tea and cakes, residentals
