But increased it has. So what can senior leaders do to address the drivers for this and how can they find ways of cutting through anything which is not absolutely necessary? This chapter explores further the three main strands identified in the Government’s Workload Challenge, set out in the previous chapter: planning and resources, data management and marking. Planning First, to planning. The Department for Education’s workload review group on planning and resources identified planning a sequence of lessons as more important than writing individual lesson plans. The most compelling reason for moving away from compulsory daily lesson plans are that not only are they not necessary, they can get in the way of the bigger ‘flow’ of the sequence of learning.
Second, senior leaders might deem it too risky to do away with lesson plans because they believe that they might be needed for an inspection. Data management. Headteachers' standards 2020. Introduction Headteachers are leading professionals and role models for the communities they serve.

Why we need to ask bigger, bolder and better questions about education. It's time for less dogma, fewer polarised, sterile arguments and the humility to realise how much we can learn from others.
Two hundred and sixty four million children in the world do not attend school. (Unicef) That number is increasing not decreasing. So the task in many countries, often scarred by famine, poverty, conflict or prejudice, is basic but hard: to train enough teachers; get children to come to school. Three examples of improving education in developing countries are the work Sir Michael Barber and his team have done in Pakistan, the new schools being set up in Africa e.g. in Sierra Leone, and the work of big foundations e.g Lemann trying to do similar work in Brazil.

If I’ve learned anything from all this research, it’s that almost everything a teacher does in a classroom works. The key question is not, “What Works?” But “Is it working sufficiently above the average of all the possible things I could be doing in the classroom?” Shortly after my research synthesis Visible Learning (2009) was published ( many of my colleagues were unhappy with the findings related to the overall effectiveness of school leaders.
