Teachers' Safety and Security in schools matter.

Looking forward to the National Implementation Framework towards the Professionalisation of the Public Service as the South African Council for Educators (SACE) is Professionalising the future-fit teaching profession. #futuretrends

Alcohol sales will be permitted as normal, but no alcohol may be sold during curfew. #FamilyMeeting #Level2 #alcohol

Based on these discussions, Cabinet has therefore decided that the country will be placed on Adjusted Alert Level 2 with effect from tomorrow. This means that: - The hours of #curfew will start at 11pm and end at 4am.

The need to learn sits at the heart of adaptability - becoming a future fit leaders #futuretrends

@MahlauleEnock It calls for more leadership empowerment and capacitation

What impact will remote learning have to school leadership in times of covid-19 pandemic? #future trends.

@txm1971 @UJLibrary @PanMacmillanSA It helped me to understand and appreciate the 4IR issues in ordinary language.

@UJLibrary @PanMacmillanSA

@MileNgaka Partnerships, twinning and other collaborative ideas are needed to create resourcefulness and address digital challenges in these schools. Also, apply innovate ideas such as concepts such as, Connect-to-Learn.

The use of digital communication platforms has disadvantaged township schools (Public school) during this crisis time of Covid 19. Leadership requires skills to address the above challenge.

What are factors that can hamper creativity for innovation at your school or organisation?

@metcalfemary11 @Les_CT @MalulekeMugwena @basilman10 @Lesufi Definitely. I will be happy to collaborate on that.

@mapula_e @Les_CT @MalulekeMugwena @basilman10 @Lesufi I will be in touch with you - we could work on this together! 🤗💃💃💃

All teacher are front line workers on whom the whole country depends - as a group (of all ages) must be vaccinated as a priority - and the workers in schools on whom the smith functioning of education depends

@metcalfemary11 @Les_CT @MalulekeMugwena @basilman10 @Lesufi Good idea Mary. Supported.

@Les_CT Excellent idea re SACE. We could argue for a ‘surplus’ supply for a short period - or a few dedicated days just for teachers & school support staff. School, & therefore teachers, are distributed across country proportionally to population @MalulekeMugwena @basilman10 @Lesufi

@Les_CT @metcalfemary11 Agreed @Les_CT. This might work because all public and independent school teachers are registered with SACE.

@metcalfemary11 Payslip and SACE registration maybe? However if doses are allocated to sites by number of persons that can be accommodated daily, then walk-ins may result in a shortage for those who are elderly and otherwise vulnerable with scheduled appointments.

Reading Teressa Amabile literature as I prepare for innovation in this digital working environment - She talks about creativity as an Individual Thought (Graham - The Art of Thought) and creativity as Group Activity (Osborn- How think up) #futuretrends

As we think of establishing, empowering and nurturing creative teams for our digital organizations, Amabile' Componential Theory challenges us to reflect critically on the figure below: #futuretrends

@ZiLu9380 Lack of information and understanding of digital trends.

Why is Leadership in the Digital Future important? #futuretrends #4IR in the illustration below, which of the responses is pertinent to your organization?

@kutu_Liz There is a concept of Teacher Leadership where teachers are leaders in their own right in classrooms and schools. Also, collaborative and adaptive leadership do not thrive in such a "boss and subordinate or command and control" environment. Change is here with us #futuretrends

#futuretrends School management team should stop undermining the ideas and opinions of teachers.Just because a teacher did not make it to management seat does not make them less critical thinkers or decision makers. Collaborative working produces the best results. Or am I wrong?

What are characteristics of being an adaptive leader? #FutureTrends @Zeenat64348002 @DevandreeN @MrGM_Muller @MahlauleEnock @Ameera200603303 @SarasRugbar @LesibaMasalesa1 @DevandreeN @leon_roets @CharisseSwanep1 @niquiperrang @jaemebhulley @AlanaCT15 @Devash_14

@kutu_Liz @kutu_liz We also have a responsibility to assist and support them in changing from fixed to growth mindset so that they can adapt and not die with the entire school in these constant changing times #futuretrends

Food for thought for us Digital Leaders to be in this complex changing times. What do you think of the Sceince of Anticipation that says, "You need to rethink of tomorrow today". How do you make leadership choices and practice balancing act in this changing times #futuretrends
