Our February magazine has landed!

The February edition of Education Executive magazine is now live and ready to read!

We did it, we got through January! Although at times January felt like it lasted an eternity, we are now finally in February and I know that, for me personally, the increased hours of daylight are already lifting my general mood – so I hope you are all feeling more uplifted too!

In this issue we take a look at how to evolve current strategies, practices and thinking. David Carne kicks things off on this theme by using Albert Einstein as an example to explore why leaders must constantly develop their thinking and Stephen Mitchell discusses how to find new and creative ways to approach the challenges SBLs may face. Alison Kriel gives her advice on how schools can take a more proactive, rather than a reactive, approach to tackle hateful language and Phil Burton emphasises the importance of the report, rectify and record strategy when it comes to fire safety.

We also turn our attention to evolving digitally, including how online searches could enhance the recruitment process and Laura Williams shares some helpful advice on how you can manage those never-ending emails in a more effective way. Austen Puleston explains the importance of the DfE’s digital and technology standards on elevating the discussion around IT, Neil Limbrick gives his top tips on how to segment your IT planning and Nigel Milligan discusses the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 on the Connect the Classroom scheme.
