Today, I did something I never thought possible... I (finally) delivered the manuscript for Leading Secondary English to @bloomsburyed.bsky.social. 64,500 words. 8 incredible case studies. 1 dream (almost fulfilled!).

#UKEd #EduSky #UKteaching I'm keen to give this platform more of a go as Twitter descends further into bin fire territory... I really miss seeing posts from #TeamEnglish. Some of the regulars from the golden age of blogs / sharing resources / discussion on Twitter never appear here... Help?

A bittersweet change in bio for January for me! I'm so excited to get my teeth stuck into all things Teaching and Learning @TrinityAcademyL, but will miss leading the powerhouse of the English Department. The purple baton is passing to you @missbury.bsky.social

I'm in the final stage of writing the manuscript for Leading Secondary English, ready to hand over to @BloomsburyEd in a few weeks! Collating the case studies (from some actual GENIUSES), finalising referencing and with a bit more text to add it'll be done! 🥳

A thoroughly enjoyable, and most importantly, USEFUL KS4 Book Look today @TrinityAcademyL. We had a model where we do this openly, with full transparency of the process for all, and completed COLLABORATIVELY. If Carlsberg did English departments... 💜🌟

FIFTY TWO leaders and teachers are visiting @TrinityAcademyL for our first Education Professional Day tomorrow. I can't wait to tour delegates through Morning Recall, a Learning Walk, then deliver a presentation on our TAL Literacy Strategy with @_MrLevick. 💜🌟
