"Professor John Hattie and Raymond Smith will introduce mindframes that ensure that leaders at every level can select, implement, and evaluate high-impact interventions that result in systemwide success."

*seeing assessment as informing impact and next steps
*collaborating about progress and impact
*being a change agent and believing all teachers can improve
*strive for challenge
*work with feedback - both giving it and ensuring it's understood by teachers, and also accepting and acting on it when given
*engaging in dialogue
*explicitly informing teachers what success looks like
*build relationships and trust; it's safe to make mistakes and learn from others
*focus on learning

Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong. It is powerful because it is based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.
