Episode 141: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Shannen Doherty for the first episode of the eagerly awaited sixth season of the Thinking Deeply about Primary Education podcast.

Shannen shares her reflections on leadership, her own professional growth and how to lead meaningful change across a number of settings.

As part of the chat we explore...

1. When we last spoke, you outlined your plan for establishing Walkthrus across your trust. How has that gone over the last 18 months?

2. Things appear to be going very well. What do you think is the secret to your success?

3. Have there been any instances when you’ve realised that a change you made or a direction you had taken wasn’t working? And, if so, what did you do about it?

4. With change on any scale it is difficult to get everyone moving in the same direction. How do you ensure buy-in from everyone?

5: How have you maintained your own professional development at the same time as supporting so many others?

6: You spend quite a bit of time supporting schools outside your trust as a Walkthrus mentor. What is this like, and would you recommend it to other leaders with a similar interest in coaching?

7: Any final advice for anyone who is trying to develop the professional development culture in their school and feeling enthused having listened to this episode?

...and much, much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
