#40 - Tom Sherrington - Rise Above Judgement

In this episode, I’m talking to Tom Sherrington – education consultant and author. With 30 years' experience as a teacher and school leader, Tom is now teaching teachers, through his ground-breaking series of WalkThru books – which, at the last count, are being used in 50 countries around the world. Everywhere from Brighton to Brazil, from Norwich to New Zealand. Tom also coaches through his blog, teacherhead.com, which has thousands of followers.

Tom is in demand worldwide and works with hundreds of schools and colleges providing training and consultancy support to improve the quality of teaching.  As such, he is a regular keynote speaker at many education conferences and festivals. 

In our conversation, Tom shares:

*What the students did to him as a supply teacher

*What an exhausted colleague did when the next class was arriving

*And why - when he couldn’t see the wood for the trees - Tom went to see the trees… in the wood.
