I have wanted to get to @researchED1 Haninge #rEDHan for so long, and never yet made it. But this year I am delighted to be presenting online.
Looks like a fabulous line-up (and maybe a hint about @HFletcherWood 's new job?) @EvaHartell

I write this blog in a personal capacity.

After fifteen years in the classroom, I now support the cause of education from the other side the school gates. For most of the week I work for the EEF, as National Content Manager, supporting teachers and school leaders to access research evidence.

Additionally, I write edubooks and offer consultancy. Also, I am very lucky to have a column for both TES and Teach Secondary magazine.

Alex Quigley

I write about education, evidence, reading, writing and vocabulary. An ex-teacher, I work to support schools and teachers to make the difference for pupils.

I write books for Routledge, including the bestseller, ‘Closing the Vocabulary Gap’. Currently, I am a columnist for both TES and Teach Secondary magazine. I work for an educational charity focused on breaking the link between parental income and educational outcomes. I am a ResearchED Trustee & a member of the Chartered College of Teaching Impact Journal board.
