You shouldn’t send teachers on conferences – we start having mad and controversial ideas. One great thing about this conference has been discovering just how highly regarded we are as an educational establishment – there are people out there who see us as the shining city on the hill…..I spoke to one teacher last night who’s worst day in education was the day she didn’t get a job at Joeys. Yet they seem to believe that we must be, we have to be, leaders and innovators in 21st century education. Are we? Would we honestly say we are? I know I’m not……….yet!
