So annoying when magazines do this. Lots of teachers now earnestly discussing font choices when the writers could have easily found out (had they cared) that these effects haven’t replicated.

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.
