Now it might sound like this post is a bit of a pat on the back for a mate (well in some ways I guess it is) but I really wanted to put the spotlight on someone who, for me, embodies the best in education.
For me, there are a variety of essential parts to what it is to be a decent education professional. They need to be reflective, risk-taking (informed risks of course), developmental, not be afraid to work out of their comfort zone (because this is where learning can have a high chance of success – that’s the risk!), caring, dedicated…. so forth and so on.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mat in a variety of guises over the last 5 years or so and it was when we were working together recently in Jersey I realised how far both he, and I, had come in that time.
