I am the proud author of 'The Confident Teacher' and 'Teach Now! English'. I write regularly for the TES and Teach Secondary magazine.
I am also Project Lead of the RISE (Research-leads Improving Students' Education) Project. An EEF funded randomized controlled trial to evaluate if and how a Research-lead can help improve outcomes for students. I am also a privileged member of the ResearchEd Advisory Panel.
