School Improvement with Nick Hart (identify the problem and then find the right solution)

In this episode Toria chats to Nick about how leading a school isn't easy and that what works for one setting won't necessarily work for another. Nick is an ardent believer that leaders need to know their school well and the problems that they are trying to address. He talks to Toria about the perils of fads on social media and how this can direct leaders away from what their setting needs.

Nick is the Executive Headteacher of the Alwyn and Courthouse Federation in Berkshire. He is a visiting fellow with Ambition Institute, facilitating on the NPQH and is one of the organisers of ResearchED Berkshire. He blogs at www.mrnickhart.wordpress.com and tweets @mrnickhart.
