Adopting Appreciative Inquiry: An approach to building on Success

Due to the nature of the range of needs at the school – the support team is a very large one. Like any new post-holder, I wanted to ‘make my mark’ and set about planning new initiatives with gusto. I decided to audit and observe for the first year whilst I got the Senco Award under my belt and this gave me time to take stock and work out how to go about facilitating and leading the changes I desired. One year later I was ready to begin.
