Baggy Trousers: July 2016
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Thursday, July 28, 2016. I went down to the crossroads (Robert Johnson). Engage, enable, expect, empower. No, not the new scrum instructions from the referee. No indeed, these are what Ken Robinson says in Creative Schools. Are the roles teachers need to fulfil. Soexpert teachers enable engagement and learning to happen. Sir Ken: The key to raising achievement is to recognise that teaching and learning is a relationship. Links to this post. Recently, a ...

Baggy Trousers: December 2016
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Saturday, December 31, 2016. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup (America). Happy new year everybody! In the Queen's 2016 Christmas message she focused on the idea of inspiration coming from ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It's true. I certainly gain a lot of inspiration from people around me and it's a good time to look back on 2016 and thank some Joe and Jo Normals who have inspired me. It's a messy process this challenge bus...

Baggy Trousers: I read the news today oh boy - four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire (The Beatles)
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016/12/i-read-news-today-oh-boy-four-thousand.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Tuesday, December 27, 2016. I read the news today oh boy - four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire (The Beatles). My very first purchase upon reaching London for our latest trip to the country with a meaningful cultural context (hello Arsenal, Carry On. Films, Stratford Westfield Mall) was what, do you suppose? Boy oh boy, do I miss a proper paper when I'm outside the U.K. Our San Francisco stop over meant I could read the New York Times. I can't a...

Baggy Trousers: August 2016
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Already know you that which you need (Yoda). The heroic journey storyline is close to my heart. Star Wars. Is only one great example of the archetypal heroic quest. Does a great job outlining and updating Joseph Campbell's legendary work. It's the journey we all make. In fact, if we're lucky, it's a journey we make over and over again throughout our lives. Personally I think I'm due for a number 11 about now! Links to this post.

Baggy Trousers: January 2017
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Monday, January 30, 2017. Nervous tension, man's invention (The Kinks). First day nerves. Everybody has them to a degree. It's probably when my mother's advice is most relevant. Deep breath. Pin your ears back. Links to this post. Wednesday, January 25, 2017. If you hear as the warm night falls the silver sound from a time so strange, sing to me, sing to me (Pink Floyd). But, sigh of relief - normal service is now resumed! Links to this post.

Baggy Trousers: When the lights go down in the city (Journey)
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016/12/when-lights-go-down-in-city-journey.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Sunday, December 18, 2016. When the lights go down in the city (Journey). In celebration of City Lights Bookstore. In San Francisco and Wardini Books. Stage 1 English's 20th century American poetry course (omg - YES! Also had a Lawrence Ferlinghetti text as required reading - A Coney Island of the Mind. I was on board! Luckily, Jacky, Samantha and Jesse were waiting so I had a limited time to browse - otherwise I would have come out with loads of books!

Baggy Trousers: When it comes to leaving, I hope you understand (The Allman Brothers Band)
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2016/11/when-it-comes-to-leaving-i-hope-you.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Monday, November 28, 2016. When it comes to leaving, I hope you understand (The Allman Brothers Band). Recently, like yesterday, I resigned from my job and took a new position at a school in northland, NZ, as Principal. I was simultaneously offered another position at a school in the UK. It was a dilly of a pickle. Which one of these great opportunities to go for? Both of them offered a Hobson's choice. As you know, I'm a huge believer in Occam's Razor.

Baggy Trousers: We don't need no thought control (Pink Floyd)
http://baggytrewsers.blogspot.com/2017/01/we-dont-need-no-thought-control-pink.html
What was the duty of the teacher if not to inspire? Thursday, January 5, 2017. We don't need no thought control (Pink Floyd). I'm on holiday in London right now but I just watched a couple of Seth Godin's TED talks. And my mind is back on school. In a good way. Teachers never really turn it off. We're magpies, collecting bits and pieces that may be useful. Well, these two talks were great! I urge you to take some timeout and have a go at them. You won't be disappointed.
