Our Book Club session today was ‘small but mighty’! Whilst not many attended, the rich conversations around ‘Virtuous Educational Leadership’ & the connections between Viviane Robinson’s work and that of many others were both highly thought-provoking + deeply heartening… 👐🏻

Looking forward to tomorrow’s ACEL WA bookclub that takes place tomorrow. A free event to discuss Viviane Robinson book Virtuous Educational Leadership. Got a schematic ready to help focus my thinking 🤔 Found it interesting making links to other educational researchers

So many connections been made while reading (re reading) Virtuous Educational Leadership to various other educational writers. Really looking forward to hearing where other participants’ thinking takes them tomorrow 😊
