I designed and delivered a training plan so all teaching staff gained the Apple Teacher Accreditation to ensure they had a significant level of expertise to use their Apple products on a daily basis, both to enhance the learning provision and to support their own daily organisation and workload.

It was vital to build a team that had a growth mindset and a shared ownership over the defining and implementing of the school vision.

My Year 4 Teacher, Mr Tilden, was identified as having a real passion for ICT and someone we needed to really inspire and challenge. 

I used this application as a case study to start his leadership journey by working with me on the entire process. 

I modeled how to take a project and map out the Intention, Implementation and Impact for each stage to drive progress, monitor success, hold people to account and adapt for each individual and challenge that came up along the way. 

James was given key responsbilities to deliver including staff CPD sessions and to deliver a new boundary breaking experience for our application - The Radio Greenside Podcast!

James has now spoken at Apple Education Conferences himself, is an Apple Distinguished Educator and I was delighted to hand over the role of ICT lead to him. 

'I've had to completely reinvent my teaching but  cannot see myself teaching without Apple technology now i've seen what's possible!'
