One of the opportunities that comes with middle leadership is the chance to look at familiar elements of teaching and learning through a different lens. While we continue to ask questions about our own classroom practice, our leadership responsibilities can encourage us to think more broadly. For instance, we may start to consider how different approaches work in different contexts, how the choices we make shape the curriculum, or what impact our more strategic decisions have on students, both in our own classrooms and beyond. Looking at our practice through these different perspectives can lead us to question things we might not have considered as classroom teachers, creating new opportunities to explore, reflect and learn. This can be a powerful starting point for meaningful professional learning.
