Around 200+ Black and Global Majority educators & allies attended the Aspiring Heads Summit which was organised by Nadine and Ethan Bernard.

Supporting Black and GM educators through empowered leadership was the theme and they did just that.

Our book has been out in the world for half a week - it's been wonderful to have people sending through photos of their copies!

@msybibi.bsky.social, Michael Chiles, Sam Crome, & David Goodwin were kind enough to read the book ahead of publication - here's what they had to say!

I am asked regularly by teachers for tips and ideas for managing wellbeing and workload.

I’ve taken an excerpt from my book ‘A Little Guide for Teachers: Thriving in Your First Years of Teaching’ and turned it into a blog post.

I miss teaching An Inspector Calls.😢

One of my fave lessons is when we discuss Mrs Birling.

I enjoy teaching new words and my students used to enjoy learning them so here’s one of the vocab starters I use to recall tier 2 vocab to describe Mrs B.

REND 2025. Great to see my friends and colleagues from my network.

This time Anais and I spoke about the ethnic disparities in ITT and beyond and what we need to do about it.

I was blooming nervous because that stage was huge and the message was important.
