Hey thanks for the kind words chaps, it's very much appreciated.

T: your words are welcome anytime!

Monbla: The title was 'A reflective report on the leadership of implementing a programme of teacher evaluations'. I was interested in the effect that formal evaluations of teachers' practice had on the learner experience. I was working with the hypothesis, 'a teacher evaluation programme has a positive effect on the learner'.
Without going into detail, my findings were conclusive; the evaluation process not only improved the learner experience but also enhanced teacher self efficacy and practice.

Congratulations Stick! I am in the midst of doing my Masters in Education through Vancouver Island University. It's a bit tough because I am in South Korea doing it totally independently, except for residences in the the summers.
I admire and envy you bro! Hearing your accomplishment gives me encouragement. Well done and hopefully I will be making a similar post in about a years time.

That's superb Smithy. Stay with it as it's all worth it in the end. Distance learning is especially tough but if you have a good tutor they should be able to provide you with effective support. Happy to act as a critical friend if it helps.

Thanks bro. Writing Chapter 3...well should be instead of poking around in here. You know, concerning methodology, I wonder if I could consider smoking my pipe and pondering a legitimate method of study. It has had a considerable effect on my paper and produced excellent insights. Perhaps I can reference my pipe and Royal Yacht in the Appendix. I could take a photo of them and include them as figures (e.g., Figure 1.2 This BBB estate bent-billiard is responsible for the wisdom exhibited in Chapter. 5) (Figure 3.1 Five tins of Dunhill Royal Yacht were consumed during the writing of this thesis) Something like that. Ugghh...I better get back to work.

Stick...Bloody good show, old man!! Raise a few pints at your "local." A well-earned degree; congratulations on a job well done FTRPLT

Hey, thanks awfully old chap. As it happens I had a few in the pub last night. I don't think it's sunk in properly in yet; after 5 year's non stop study, to suddenly not have to read, write reports, assignments and dissertations, is a little weird. I just need another project now....!

I'm with ya', Stick!! I spent three years getting my Masters, working full time, family obligations, all the normal day-to-day stuff plus all the academic stuff. You've earned a "star' for your efforts Enjoy the fruits of your hard work!! FTRPLT

That sounds a familiar story! Two young children, and both of us working full time and long hours. My standard day was up at 6.30, sort the children for school / nursery and out the door for 7.30. Start work at 7.55, and finish at 17.00. By the time the children were in bed and we'd eaten, house admin, it was 21.00. Study for 2 hours (sometimes more). Bed at 23.00. And repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat x 5 years. Yes, I'm pretty proud of that. Just looking at putting it all to good use now by applying for lecturing jobs in unis. Fingers crossed!
