WILF: Reduce Change to Increase Improvement by Viviane Robinson 583j1n

In this episode, I’m explaining What I Learnt From: Reduce Change to Increase Improvement by Viviane Robinson. This is the third episode that sees me go through my annotations and notes for a book that explores an area of English teaching or leadership. This time, it’s a text that I was actually assigned as part of a Masters I did a few years ago. Amidst all the theoretical reading, Viviane Robinson’s writing jumped out as instantly practical and so resonant when considering my own experience with leadership. I subsequently listened to a brilliant episode she did with Ollie Lovell for the ERRR, which brought all of its ideas to life. As always with these books, I really recommend you take a look by purchasing for your department or self but particularly if you’re someone with middle leadership or management aspirations or responsibilities. Expect to hear: What the by and engagement approach to improvement are What a theory of action is How to have constructive problem talk How to respectfully inquire into others’ theory of action And finally, the four phases of theory engagement that lead to lasting change If you want to be kept up to date on when educational chat like this happens, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast and/or follow me on Twitter @chrisjordanhk Links: Reduce Change to Increase Improvement by Viviane Robsinson Ollie Lovell’s interview with Viviane Robinson on the ERRR on1z
