Hello and Welcome

Well - the first post... what does one write?


  • Something inspirational?
  • Something funny?
  • Something else?
I really don't know... I hope what I do write will be worth the effort of looking???

Who am I and why am I doing this... sounds good to me...

Who am I?
I am an Advanced Skills Teacher with over 15 years teaching experience in both private and state schools. I have taught Science courses ranging from Key Stage 2 through to A-level and IB in schools throughout the UK. Currently I am working in a rapidly growing and evolving Science Specialist school in middle England. I love being at the "chalkface" although now it is more often an interactive white board!

A lot of my time in schools is spent mentoring and supporting colleagues, be those that are new to the profession or those that just need a little extra help to get back on track. In many schools I am supporting the Good --> Outstanding or Satisfactory --> Good agenda for OFSTED.

Why am I doing this?
In my website (click on the word website to go there) "Teaching - Tricks of the Trade" and this blog I aim to provide more teachers with the "Tricks of the Trade" that will help them to achieve the excellent lessons they know they can teach.

Please add comments on here, or send me feedback via my website if there is anything you would like to see on the website, but that is currently lacking... I guess after so many years at the "chalkface" I forget what the sheer panic of a new job and the first time in the classroom in charge is really like!

Good luck and enjoy the holidays.
