John Tomsett taught for 33 years in state schools and was a teaching secondary headteacher for 18 years. He writes a blog called This Much I Know and has written extensively about school leadership. He has published 10 books, including: Love Over Fear: Creating a Culture for Truly Great Teaching ; Putting Staff First: A Blueprint for Revitalising our Schools (with Jonny Uttley); Cognitive Apprenticeship in Action (editor); Huh: Curriculum conversations between subject and senior leaders ; Primary Huh: Curriculum conversations with subject leaders in primary schools ; Primary Huh 2: Primary curriculum leadership conversations ; SEND Huh: Curriculum conversations with SEND leaders ; and Alternative Provision Huh: Curriculum conversations with AP leaders (all with Mary Myatt). He maintains that the best thing for our students is that our teachers are happy, healthy, well-qualified, highly motivated, hard-working, well-trained experts. Consequently, he believes we should put staff first. www.johntomsett.com X: @johntomsett See less
