http://iapsah.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 18, 2007. Although I'm not a Watford. Fan, an interesting feature in February's Observer Sport Monthly. Caught my attention. Apparently Aidy Boothroyd is an avid student of management theory and is an advocate of both The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell. Although it hasn't done much for Watford's fortunes it serves to emphasise the importance of applying broader principles to the management of your chosen field. Saturday, March 17, 2007. Searching for killer apps. Then there is Netvibes.

Aspiring Head: Are the media finally catching up?
http://iapsah.blogspot.com/2007/04/are-media-finally-catching-up.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Are the media finally catching up? The rise of teachers' blogs News crumb EducationGuardian.co.uk. Its wonderful that the Guardian have published this piece about blogging by teachers. But there is far more to teacher blogging than the "welcome to my world" approach that is discussed here. That need the spotlight. Blogs like yours and mine, ones which are interested in reforming the education system, don't even feature on their radar. :-(. Wednesday, April 18, 2007 5:40:00 am.

Aspiring Head: November 2006
http://iapsah.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 26, 2006. Pupil Health and Safety. TeacherNet: Pupil Health and Safety. Just a reflection on the way last week started. In the 12 years that I have been teaching PE and games no one has ever been seriously hurt until, that is, last Monday. What makes me laugh is that with all the angst and worry over health and safety in school sports, particulary rugby, the only child ever to damage themselves in one of my sessions is a 6 year old who was actually standing still at the time! To engender...

Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Heads 'do not improve schools', but what about Roy Keane? BBC NEWS Education Heads 'do not improve schools'. Another in the occasional series. Why On Earth Do You Want To Be A Head? Starts this time with research from the Policy Exchange. Think-tank - "The Leadership Effect: Can Headteachers Make A Difference? Well an initial (and sarcastic) response to that question would be no, because even teachers can't make a difference, that would be the job of the classroom assistants!
