January always seems to take a while to get going, and this year is no different. It’s been a slow start, but I’m gradually getting back into the routine. The festive season feels like a distant memory now, and it’s time to focus on the year ahead.

While much of the world celebrates endings and beginnings in December, those of us in education find ourselves firmly in the middle of our journey. January isn’t our fresh start–it’s our midpoint, a time for reflection.
