This spring, the number of high school graduates in the United States is expected to hit its peak. Starting in the fall, enrollment will likely enter a period of decline that could last a decade or more. This looming demographic cliff has been on the minds of education leaders for nearly two decades, dating back to the start of the Great Recession. A raft of college closures over the past five years, exacerbated by the pandemic, has for many observers been the canary in the coal mine.

Just check the website here. I took the opportunity to go to Anglesey Abbey at the weekend. One of the options is to book onto a free tour of the Royal Geographical Society.

14 years in. I wonder if I can do this the next 20 years. Middle. School. Social. Studies. Teacher. My goodness. I often wonder if I’m doing things in the best way… Am I challenging students enough? Am I meeting everyone’s needs? Do my policies fall in line with school-wide policies? Is it a bad practice that I accept work anytime without a late penalty?

What's the most creative idea you've ever had while teaching geography? If you feel able to share it (with full credit given) for a presentation I'm putting together for an event at UCL in July please get in touch. There's a slide from my presentation below. It will feature some of my more creative ideas of the many I've had, and shared in numerous books. they date back to the early 2000s when the world was a different place and before people used TES Resources and Twinkl.

A Principal's Reflections

MARCH 16, 2025

" Morale isn't just a feeling; it's the engine of collective effort. A high-spirited team can achieve the improbable, while a disheartened one struggles with the routine." The struggle is real, my friends, and when it comes to morale, it is up to us to work to ensure this remains positive. Recently, on my podcast Unpacking the Backpack , I discussed this topic in detail after revisiting a blog post I wrote in 2022.

A few weeks ago, my family spent several days completing a 1,000-piece puzzle. It was slow at firstwe sorted pieces, built the edges, and struggled through tricky sections. Recently, we decided to do the same puzzle again, and this time, it only took a few hours. Even though we didnt remember exactly where each piece went, we recognized patterns, familiar colors, and key sections, making the process much faster.
