Strategies: Covey’s 8th Habit - “You work on your circle of influence” – do what your doing exceptionally well. And you have a circle of concern around it - abandoning the emotion to focusing your energy on things that you CAN have a positive effect on.

“Help you to discuss an entry point for the E5 model at the school level”

Suggestion is to do a ‘Learning Walk ‘ in another school with a specific focus – i.e.: looking at how team meetings are run, another focus could be analysing how the ell being program be more effective to ready youngsters to access schooling in senior years to minimise suspension and other difficult challenging issues of disconnectedness.

Workshop must show something of a work in progress – suggestion is we use screen dumps of wiki space and turn into a PowerPoint!
