Inspiring to be at the Australian Schools Plus Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards last night. I was privileged to sit with two of the winners - Lisa Hurst from Holy Spirt College in North Queensland, and George Allen from Cobram Secondary College in Victoria. Good to see Minister Jason Clare and David Gonski (yes, he's a person not just a funding model) taking the time to honour our great teachers.

Creating a robust pool of leaders — and future leaders — helps to ensure better outcomes for students. If you are a principal, or have responsibility for leadership development at your school, the “Leading for impact” guidelines are a great resource for identifying and supporting future leaders.
