Koru - The Podcast #006
The erudite and entertaining Travis Purnell of Harrow International School Hong Kong. Travis takes time out of his VERY busy schedule to discuss how Harrow approach the use of data. The theme is very much about working with colleagues, pupils and parents to get the best outcome for the child. Travis' view that data tells a story is the key and Harrow Hong Kong are proactive in ensuring time, resource and support are available to help teachers support their judgements and their work. The focus on individuals is paramount and Travis and his team do a great job of keeping that front and centre of all things. hashtag#education hashtag#internationalschools hashtag#hongkong hashtag#schooldata hashtag#gettingitright Available Friday 28th November.
Education Leaders Live
This month Chris Scorer and Shane Leaning unpack four episodes covering trust, coaching, student leadership and protecting your focus time as a leader. The conversation gets honest about loss aversion in schools, why brilliant teachers go quiet when they're tired of being judged, and whether leaders at trust level can genuinely connect with what's happening in classrooms. Plus a proper debate about those "have you got a moment" interruptions and whether closing your door makes you a bad leader or a strategic one.

Reframing Your Literacy Strategy
Is your school's literacy strategy doing more harm than good? In today's episode, educational consultant joins me at a local British pub to delve deeply into how our traditional approach to literacy might be causing stress and anxiety for students. Chris draws from both professional expertise and personal experience to challenge the orthodoxy of literacy education. This episode is a must-listen for international school leaders who are keen to explore more inclusive ways to support student well-being while also fostering literacy.
How to Democratise your Data
Chris Scorer and Shane Leaning explore how schools can create a data landscape that aligns with their diverse objectives, especially in international schools. We discuss the reluctance of data leads to embrace full transparency due to regulatory concerns, the educational journey parents and teachers must undertake to understand data, and practical strategies for integrating data into daily teaching.
One striking point of our conversation was the tension between teacher intuition and data-driven decision-making. Chris eloquently argued that data should serve as a supportive tool for teachers rather than a rigid directive. He shared practical strategies for overcoming teacher resistance to data, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces for teachers to engage with and explore data without the fear of making mistakes.
