Hello. Welcome to We Are In Beta.
I am the Founder, @NiallAlcock.
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.
What is We Are In Beta?
We Are In Beta started as podcast in 2019, which aimed to tell the stories of inspiring school leaders.
Now, it’s an online community of 20,000 +school leaders and teachers, which exists to help them share how they get the best outcomes for their students.
When you join we do three things to help you:
Use national data to discover incredible schools achieving success
Produce insights about it to help you learn from that success - conferences, resources, podcasts, etc.
Build communities of like minded educators around them so you can all achieve success together.
If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, welcome aboard - subscribe today, and please do spread the word.
Connect with me on Twitter and LinkedIn
Thank you,
Niall
Who am I?
I’m a former school leader, teacher trainer and school governor.
I love learning. I love hearing about what others are learning. I love helping others to learn.
Times are tough in schools but I believe the answers are within us. There is so much expertise and knowledge locked in the system that we don’t get to hear about.
Join me as I learn how to best share it with you here.
