S1 Ep50: Practical Examples of Character and Positive Education - Book Launch Panel 2 Part 2

Aug 10, 2020

Welcome to Episode 50.

This is the fourth of the extended podcast episodes over the next few weeks, where you will be able to listen to the replays of the For Flourishing’s Sake book launch events.

Today, I bring you the second half of the second panel discussion of the book launch extravaganza.  This panel was recorded live on 18th June, the day the Kindle edition of For Flourishing’s Sake was published.

I chaired the panel myself and the panellists were:

Flora Barton, Headteacher, Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England Primary School

Kelly Hannaghan, Mental Health and Wellbeing Consultant

Patrick Ottley-O’Connor, Education Consultant, Leadership Coach and Headteacher.  Executive Principal at North Liverpool Academy.

Rebecca Tigue, Head of School, University of Birmingham School

In this second half of the panel discussion, the panellists discussed what their interpretation of a whole school approach to character and positive education is, then moved onto an interesting discussion about how we “catch” character and wellbeing behaviours, before moving on to a fascinating conversation about how we bring people on board that don’t understand what we’re trying to do. We closed the panel with each panellist sharing their hopes and dreams for the future of education.

You can watch back all the panel video recordings here. The final panel discussion will take place on 21st August - the day of the For Flourishing’s Sake paperback publication - at 12.30pm BST.
