Cornerstone Teacher Learning

I've recently been thinking a lot about advice.

In a crowded social media world where fact and opinion is often blurred and expertise is sometimes buried under an Internet awash with information, I wonder if we need to get back to the simple things?

When I thought about all the advice that I had received to get fitter, eat healthier, develop better mental or emotional habits, write or teach more effectively, be a better parent or get my finances in order, something dawned on me.

And it was this: who is giving the advice is important because they boil down years of experience to a few simple rules that work in a complex world. If you follow them.

I had fun writing this article for Rob and his team at The Wealth Quay - and I'm posting it here because I think it applies to a lot of area of life and teaching.
