Human resources constraints ‘The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken’ Dr Samuel Johnson ( )

Human resources constraints Reluctant learners/Reluctant teachers “Seeing the mote in your neighbour's eye..” “I know what I am doing” “I am not going to change my way” “I know what works with these kids“ “It has never been like that”

Human resources constraints Reluctant Teachers are: Inflexible Unenthusiastic Uncreative Good at following prescriptions

Human resources constraints The oppressive head teacher Usually more that 10 years in charge of faculty Lack of IT knowledge Rule under the ‘divide and rule’ principle Promote unsafe environment for learning Good politicians: members of every school committee

Human resources constraints ‘…the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher’ Wright, S., Horn, S., & Sanders, W. (1997) A quality teacher in every classroom is the ultimate aim, but how to achieve this is the big question and challenge.
