NEW BLOG: I don’t blog that often (my last was in May 2020) but I thought I’d take the opportunity to expand on how I’ve used ‘read, re-read and read again’ after yesterday’s @TMEnglishIcons presentation. Be kind! 😂 https://englishteachersnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/02/avoiding-diminished-diet-read-re-read.html?m=1 @Team_English1

It's so important to pause and reflect (and blog!)
If you have 5 minutes, join me as I reflect on the teaching of mathematics in the early years - something all maths leads must do.

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.

I am National Content Manager at the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), after fifteen years as an English teacher and school leader. The focus of my work is supporting school improvement and making research  evidence accessible and useable for teachers and school leaders.

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 am a ResearchED Trustee & a member of the Chartered College of Teaching Impact Journal board.
