Behaviour At The Crossroads
Behaviour At The Crossroads By Phil Naylor Decision time readers! 2024 is a big year. It is the year of an election and with it the inevitable change to educational ideologies, opinions and experts. Speaking to Mark McCourt in an early Naylor’s Natter podcast episode, we discussed the 20-year educational cycle where ideas develop, flourish, mutate, wither and die. At that time, we were reminiscing on such educational fads as Brain Gym, Learning Styles, Flight paths, group work and Kagan Structures.
The Power of Team with Sam Crome on Apple Podcasts
In education, resources and time are scarce, yet the demand for performance is sky high. School leaders invest money and labour into improving their schools, navigating trade offs along the way. But what if one of the biggest improvements we could make to our schools was something we already do?

Naylor's Natter by Phil Naylor
Review by Frank Norris Chair, Blackpool Education Improvement Board 2 Oct 2022, 5:00 The Review: Naylor’s Natter by Phil Naylor By Phil Naylor More from this theme Recent articles Publisher Bloomsbury Education Phil Naylor knows that colleagues who teach in areas of significant economic and social challenge get used to initiatives landing from afar that appear good on paper – but don’t work out so well in their context.
Stranger Things In Education: The Upside-Down World Of Email
Do you sometimes wish for a simpler time? One where your colleagues came and found you for a face-to-face chat, rather than bombarding you with emails, creating an impossible to-do list? Phil Naylor believes it’s possible to flip our current email practices upside down… The 1980s are enjoying a welcome resurgence. Netflix’s phenomenon ‘Stranger Things’ has opened up the joy of a more straightforward, less frenetic and, paradoxically, more exciting time.
How to support schools in hard times
Every school has been affected by the pandemic, but for schools already dealing with challenges, teaching during Covid-19 and returning to some kind of normal is more difficult. In this opinion article, assistant head and expert adviser for the Teacher Development Trust Phil Naylor describes the realities of teaching in schools in challenging circumstances and sets out how he thinks subject associations can provide relevant and realistic support programmes. Some schools are harder than others.

What Makes School Governors Effective?
Are your school governors ‘evidence informed’? This was something I wrestled with ahead of my application to be a primary school governor in the summer of 2017. If as a secondary teacher of almost 20 years experience could be daunted by the responsibility and aware of a lack of expertise, is it any wonder that schools find it difficult to recruit governors? It is good to hear that they do have the motivation to make a difference, which can be very powerful in driving school improvement.
Safeguarding Triage
The role of the DSL still carries the “Ultimate lead responsibility for safeguarding and child protection”. Phil Naylor explores the issues surrounding Safeguarding and how schools might collaborate efficiently with external agencies to triage Safeguarding concerns. The days of a sole DSL with absolute responsibility for all safeguarding concerns in schools is coming to an end. Systems in which one person picks up and deals with all concerns are flawed and unsustainable.

How to embed evidence-informed teaching and learning in your school' with Jade Pearce by Naylor's Natter Podcast 'Just talking to Teachers'
Book exclusive- Jade's summary The book has three parts. In part one I have attempted to summarise twenty of the most seminal pieces of education literature. I hope this part of the book will make learning about evidence-informed teaching more accessible. This includes a summary and takeaways for teaching.
Being a leader in education is an always-on job. There's always more to do, more staff and children to help. So how can a leader ensure that they are doing the right things, at the right time, without burning themselves out?
We have a serious problem with the image of teaching in this country. In the eyes of many, teaching is not truly a profession akin to other professions. In the popular imagination, it is not on a par with medicine, law or accountancy, engineering, architecture or business.
