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. 🔗Blog here: msybeebs.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/a...

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. @unleashingme.bsky.social

I miss teaching ‘An Inspector Calls’. @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK Some lessons, I would begin with teaching new vocab Ss could use to describe a character & use ‘I say, You say’ to learn pronunciation and share sentences to use it in different contexts. Example in the photo:
