Integration  in Behaviour

This paper describes how anyone who takes part in an organisation shows how they integrate  unconsciously in their behaviour, their  own values, thoughts and assumptions about  the purpose of that organisation.   It shows how Consultant Leaders in education  can raise the quality of their work with their clients by paying particular attention to those underlying factors, by using the conceptual tools of Aim Statements, ‘organisation-in-the-mind’,  and the continuous process of finding, making and taking roles.

Working with the Concept of Organisation-in-the-Mind
A  paper presented to theinscape conference, Germany, on 15 September 2000, introducing a way  of thinking about organisation which has  been developed by The Grubb Institute as  a significant tool for leadership and management in institutions. It focuses on organisation as it is being experienced by the manager, and differentiates this from institution-in-the-mind  as an unconscious construct affecting the  behaviour of managers.

The Psychodynamics of Meaning and Action for a Sustainable Futurecontribution to a special edition ofthe journal Futures, 32 pp339 - 360.

Oscillation  Theory emphasises that transformation can only occur when persons transform themselves accepting their dependence and taking responsibility for their own anxieties, development and behaviour. Truly sustainable development  can only occur when, in this way, persons reduce their impacts on the ecological and  social processes that support them. Policy-makers need to recognise that ‘external’ problems have experiential, emotional and cultural roots.

Just Prisons

This short paper examines the distinctiveness of what  it means to manage in a prison.  It puts forward the hypothesis that in the  wider context of society, criminality has  no logical explanation and is most fully  understood as being irrational.  It  suggests that underlying the problems of  managing in prisons in a context of irrationality,  is the
need for prisoners to be treated justly.

The Regeneration of Criminal Justice

The paper  offers a fresh approach to criminal justice. It suggests that the many recent attempts to tackle criminality have tended to concentrate  on measures of performance which are increasingly irrelevant to the community.
This is largely because the criminal justice agencies, in concentrating on their own  survival, have lost sight of
what the community needs and have ignored  the power
of regeneration which lies in individuals  and their communities.

Leading Schools from Failure to Success…
How three Christian headteachers transformed church schools

This book is about three examples of church schools being transformed. The schools’ morale was at rock bottom, and exam results were far below acceptable. All three schools moved from being the most unpopular, to becoming over-subscribed and rated by Ofsted as improving schools, demonstrated by good standards of teaching in classrooms, rising exam results and falling disciplinary difficulties.

There was only one change of ‘personnel’: the headteacher. The heads’ Christian faith was a core part of their understanding of the meaning of life and the call to work in these particular schools. The heads had the intention of making inclusive schools, open to serving their local communities as they are.

This book is important for national and local policy-makers as well as teachers, parents and educationalists.

Including  ‘Dizzie Rascal’

Why  do we have recurring behaviour and attendance issues in schools, and what can we do about  it? This paper offers the hypothesis that  behaviour and attendance problems are largely the result of how our education system only  works with parts of the child, and fails to acknowledge and harness the whole developmental  process that children and adolescents are  going through. Using the case of Dizzie Rascal, the REED RAINBOW of human and social development, and new thinking about ‘child-centred’ practice, the short paper offers tools to  enable school staff, and professionals working  with schools, to bring about long term transformation in how we understand and practice inclusion in education.
