<p>Heads of Department should be the engine room of any school. Ensuring that this is the case, without becoming overburdened by admin or losing trust in colleagues is the topic we unpick this week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Guest starring Jess Lund, Head of MFL at Michaela School, and very long-winded questions from Paul, we look at the best parts of being a HoD, the pitfalls to look out for, and general advice to anyone who is looking to make their mark as a middle leader.&nbsp;</p>

S3. Ep 1 - Starting a New Year

Those Who Can is a podcast designed to help teachers reflect on their practice. Each week Will and Paul will talk through various aspects of teaching, aiming to share our thoughts about what has shaped our experience, as well as talk through the advice we might offer to teachers at a variety of stages in their career. 
By talking through aspects of teaching that we find difficult or have wanted more advice on, we hope to encourage more teachers to reflect on how they go about their day-to-day work at the chalk face.
