What happened when a School put Lantern AI to the test?

Last month, we introduced the Lantern Leadership Studio, a governed AI environment designed to help school leaders establish the correct policy-based professional footing of a situation before deciding how to act. The post - Can AI Help School Leaders Think more Clearly has a leadership challenge and a downloadable response from the Lantern Leadership Studio. This second part reflects on what happened when a real school used it.

Hi Beth. Thanks for the kind mention. The follow up chat about the limitations of NPQH is very familiar. It came up in our Rethinking Headship survey repeatedly last year. Which was why I developed the Head Cases offer, now recruiting for a second cohort. www.ssatuk.co.uk/cpd/leadersh...

Just started reading this. I've got as far as the end of the Introduction and I can already feel that my blood is beginning to boil!

We’ve had a wonderful year with @walkthrus.bsky.social in 2024. The books continue to be popular to our great joy! The 1-2-3 was a nice moment. In theory we have our Coaching book out in 2025 but since we haven’t written it yet.. that remains to be seen! Thanks to all our readers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

MarcusRashford a great player and so much more. Given the chaotic Leadership and Management at MUFC over the ladt decade I think he's done well. Hope he shares more great moments at Man Utd (in a calm, supportive and focused environment) and continues to support those in need

Labour going further on the winding back of academy freedoms than expected by tackling pay too - interested to see how/if that relates to CEO pay Ending the automatic academisation of failing schools seems quite symbolic @fcdwhittaker.bsky.social with the story schoolsweek.co.uk/childrens-we...

Law paves the way for new council schools and national pay and conditions for academies

Ballpark flat tax numbers: a fiscally neutral income tax flat tax would be about 25% - i.e. 5% increase in basic rate, 15% cut in higher rate. So the average earner would pay about £1,200 more tax/year. Someone on £100k would pay £5k less. Someone on £200k, £30k less.

It was a pleasure to speak to Sir Kevan - some particularly interesting views on the current standard of schools, trust accountability and ‘learn as you go’ policy making … schoolsweek.co.uk/sir-kevan-co...

Delighted to have contributed to this excellent report from @alicegregson.bsky.social At TEAL We wholeheartedly support a system-wide Retention Promise. We must change the lived experience of teachers if we want to solve the recruitment crisis schoolsweek.co.uk/a-system-wid...

Why school leaders should sign up to a retention promise

Working together as system leaders, we can solve a large part of the teacher retention crisis ourselves

Super analysis from @samanthajbooth.bsky.social and @fftedudatalab.bsky.social - new inspections will give parents a more positive picture, as many schools had one or more better sub grades than their overall judgement Will be difficult to distinguish for a parent between the old RI and Good now

Schools Week@schoolsweek.bsky.social · 2y ago

Most schools rated ‘requires improvement’ last year had multiple ‘good’ or better sub-grades, suggesting parents will see a more positive picture of their child’s school now headline grades are gone

Loved today at Hope Academy. Thanks for all your organisation and time today, Mike.

Very fortunate to spend INSET day with @leadinglearner.bsky.social today as he launched our Walkthrus Implementation Project. His wisdom, experience and passion for improving outcomes for all was inspirational. A really brilliant day.
