It’s #rEDBrum day! Looking forward to having my mind inspired and meeting lots of educators

Hayley @hayley-b.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

On my train journey this morning, I had an explore of the @authorfy.bsky.social platform and what a brilliant resource it is! Looking forward to exploring more at home with my daughters so they can watch some of their favourite authors talk about their books and writing.

English subject mentors of ECTs and ITTs - what challenges do you face when working with your ECTs? Which areas do they need most support in? Is it subject knowledge? Support with adapting lesson resources? Subject specific pedagogy? I’d love to hear from you for some research. @litdrive.bsky.social

I keep coming back to this text for my studies and wish I had a copy when I was teaching. English teachers: this is a brilliant text for developing subject knowledge, approaches to studying fiction in the classroom and reflection questions. amzn.eu/d/bwJTK1q

The power of reading … my 7 year old writing like she is Enid Blyton. I’m in love with the opening line 😍 I’m sure we all know that feeling.

*this is not just teaching! I’m commenting more on the expectation of society/ we put on ourselves to be all the things all the time and it’s just so hard to keep all balls juggling - career, parenting, life etc

It’s hard. Yes, you have the holidays but what about the drops/pickups, the assemblies and school events you can’t attend or getting home to help your YR child with reading but they’re too tired because it’s so late. It’s a constant feeling of guilt. You love your job but you love your family too

Enjoyed listening to @steplab.bsky.social webinar yesterday. Expert analysis of teaching clips and a generous free share from Steplab. Thank you to all involved. Side note: love how @pepsmccrea.bsky.social frames the emotional response to watching teaching in the webinar and in the docu.

ECTs and trainee teachers: please can I ask for your help? I want to hear from you about your experience in teaching. What do you love about it? What do you wish you could change? If you’re a teacher who left teaching after their first few years, what pushed you to leave? Pls comment below👇

In my ECT seminars this week, I asked ECTs to share a thank you or a shoutout to their mentors. I’ve been reading them through and they are so lovely! I can’t wait to share with mentors and Induction Leads about the impact mentors are having. ☺️ @winacadtrust.bsky.social @natinstteaching.bsky.social

Been feeling a lot of self doubt and had a dose of imposter syndrome the last few months but I’ve done a ‘thing’ this morning and it felt good and I remembered I can do some stuff well (when I get out of my head). I need to talk more kindly to myself.

We have a new series on the site, 'Shakespeare: The Essentials'. These courses provide clear and accessible introductions, designed for students who are looking to grasp the main events and relationships, without delving into complex analysis. Ideal for younger or lower ability students.
