Great opportunity with Pathway Program

Demonstrating impact on your CV / resume I read lots of resumes, I like to read each of them thoroughly before putting them into the yes, no or maybe piles. Most resumes I review are lists of things teachers do. If I were to give one tip for teachers to increase their chance of making the ‘yes pile’ it would clearly demonstrate impact. Below I have shared a made-up example to demonstrate the common error on resumes. ·        Taught a Year 2 class ·        Marked books, undertook planning and gave feedback ·        Led a CPD session on Talk Less Teaching ·        Organised a trip to the Natural History Museum in London ·        Built relationships with teachers ·        Engaged in conversations with parents regarding their children’s literacy ·        Ran a gymnastics club Now look at the same list with a few extra words in CAPITALS ·        POORLY Taught a Year 2 class ·        Marked books, undertook planning and gave feedback BADLY ·        Led a DREADFUL CPD session on Talk Less Teaching ·        Organised a SHOCKING trip to the Natural History Museum in London ·        Built LIMITED relationships with teachers ·        Engaged in POINTLESS conversations with parents regarding their children’s literacy ·        Ran a gymnastics club WITH NO TAKERS You would not interview this person, I suspect nobody would. I know these are extreme examples, but by not demonstrating your impact you allow the reader to use their imagination as to the quality or otherwise of your impact.  The same list again below as impact statements ·        Taught a Year 2 class in which 100% of students achieved age related expectations and 80% exceeded them ·        Marked books, undertook planning and gave feedback leading to a 15% increase in the termly outcomes of students in my class in comparison to the rest of the grade. ·        Led a CPD session on Talk Less Teaching, feedback from SLT shows 35% more staff have adopted this method and can demonstrate positive outcomes from using it ·        Organised a very successful trip for 70 students and 8 staff to the Natural History Museum in London leading to a showcase for parents ·        Built relationships with teachers leading to 30% improvement in staff retention ·        Engaged in conversations with parents regarding their children’s literacy leading to a marked increase in parental engagement with their children’s reading at home ·        Ran a gymnastics club which saw membership grow 40% in the first term and it has been full since. ISR International School on the Rhine receives applications for teaching and administrative roles each day, this post is a plea to make hiring managers roles easier by showing them what you can do without in the form of clear impact statements.

Meet Maria Gmaj, a first-year MGM student! 🌟 Curious about her journey before MGM and why she chose this path? Check out below the interview with Maria, who shared insights into her pre-MGM experiences and what led her here. 🏠 Hometown M: I come from a small town near Warsaw, Poland 🇵🇱 🍔 Favorite food M: Hard to choose, but probably placki ziemniaczane (savory potato pancakes). 📖 Favorite quote from a book M: I am more of a poetry person, so my favorite quote is from a poem „The Envoy of Mr. Cogito” by Zbigniew Herbert (translated by Bogdana Carpenter): “go upright among those who are on their knees among those with their backs turned and those toppled in the dust” 🎥 What were you doing before starting the program?  M: I got my bachelor’s degree in Cultural Studies at the University of Warsaw, while working part-time as an English teacher. 👩🎓 Why did you choose the #MGM program?  M: I chose this program because I wanted to change my academic and professional direction, and it allowed me to do so in the most seamless, streamlined way. I have always been interested in various aspects of entrepreneurship, management and economy, and the intensity of this program helps me to see different elements of those fields. I like the fact that it offers comprehensive and extensive courses that cover all the bases needed to enter the business world. 🎯 What do you hope to do after the #MGM?  M: Since becoming acquainted with the broad horizons of management, finance and economy, I became interested in project management and business strategy. My hopes are to build a career in a similar field. I am looking forward to seeing the internship opportunities at the end of this program. We thank Maria for her insights and wish her the best of luck on this academic journey! 👍🏻

When I was a child, this meant something. We believed it and it was a powerful USP. Sadly in less than a decade it was history, why? Because it was built on two things. 1 The amazing courage and innovative ability of people such as Abraham Derby, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, George Stephenson et al but also importantly, our work culture was built on the CRAFTSMANSHIP system. A craftsman by definition is responsible for the quality of his or her own work. It was their source of pride and they did long apprenticeships in order to acquire their jealously guarded skills. The Foremen or Supervisor was the leading craftsman and for both worker or manager, he was regarded with great respect because he knew the most. A new recruit would think themselves lucky just to live in the same street and walk to work with him. Sadly in 1914 and on, we put all of them into khaki Uniforms and buried them in the poppy fields of France. Post WW2 the UK adopted an alien culture. So called Scientific management. In this we took the skill out of the work and elevated it to a new breed called management specialists including Quality Control. Japan also adopted Scientific management but quickly discovered that it resulted in rapidly deteriorating labour relations and poor quality. Professor Ishikawa postulated. This new system does not work. All you get is high volume of cheap and shoddy products. We cannot go back to Craftsmanship as it is uneconomic but perhaps we can combine craftsmanship by training the workers in problem solving with flow production and get the best of both Worlds. They called the result Quality Circles. The UK did not do this. It relied on Inspectors to screen out the defective work and we still do that to this day and we are paying for it. Even after all this time it is not too late to start and we can help you do it. Two things. 1. Join our two week Study Tour in May to Japan to see how it is done in the company of me, David Hutchins who has taken many teams before. 2. Check out our courses on www.dhiqc.com and join our growing team of associates. #ceoguide #ceos #ceoleadership #ceosuccess Kola (getKOLA) Olutimehin Jimmy Forster Stephen Murphy Global Excellence Team (GET™)

It’s often difficult to transmit the diversity and intensity of learning and living on our summer immersion courses for teenagers, and the many linguistic, social and personal benefits they can gain. We hope the ‘Dear diary’ entry in our latest newsletter gives some insights: http://eepurl.com/iPl0hk

🎓My First Year at Prague University of Economics and Business and Top 5️⃣ Things I Learned🎓 The course of the two semesters presented many rigorous challenges as I had to focus on managing my grade average, internship, and extracurricular activities. However, as time went on I have been getting increasingly more experienced in terms of managing all things at once. This allowed me to absorb knowledge from my two university programs, internship, and other extracurriculars. But most importantly, I feel like I have made a leap that puts me closer towards my career goals which has been the reason I found this process very fulfilling and rewarding. Now, although there is still a lot to learn and improve, I am happy with how it went considering I have met all of my short term objectives. Here are the top 5 things I learned 1️⃣Make the best out of the opportunities presented to you Find and engage in what fulfills you. It will motivate you to move forward. 2️⃣Expand your network Building meaningful relationships immensely enhances your experience. 3️⃣Sky is the limit You can achieve anything you want as long as you are willing to work hard enough for it. Having a clear vision and a plan helps a lot. 4️⃣Take breaks Sometimes it is better to rest in order to avoid burnout in the future. 5️⃣Teamwork does not always equal dreamwork Working in a team can be challenging, especially when the team members do not share similar goals. Usually, it’s best to take initiative and steer the team as if you were its senior member. My highlights🏆 - Finishing the year in the top 3% of my class - Admission to an extracurricular excellence program Honors Academia - Passed CAE at CEFR Level C2 Where do I see the most room for improvement?📈 - Managing my time - Point number 4 Feel free to share your top five!♻️
