Excited to announce I am writing a book on lethal mutations of research we commonly find in schools. I have a list of what I think are the most pervasive ones but would love to see if I have thought of them all...what do you think are the most common ones?
I have a question: what are your experiences of applying for teaching/leadership jobs. What's good? What needs to change? This includes interviews
I'm conducting qualitative research for a journal article on HR & application processes for teaching & leadership vacancies in England - including interview. Looking for participants for focus groups & case studies of good practice - please get in touch to take part.

Great morning in New York. All registered for 'Learning and the Brain' - always amazed to see my books in another country!
We’re thrilled to be at Learning & the Brain 2025! If you’re at the Conference, we’re in the Central Park Room. So many terrific writers and thinkers here.
Currently half way to NYC to speak at Learning and the Brain with some edu-heroes and friends!
⚡️Check out these top-notch testimonials from the dynamic duo @hugheshaili.bsky.social and @carlhendrick.substack.com — I’m delighted to feature and distil their powerful ideas in Volume 2 — two educators who consistently elevate the conversation around evidence-informed practice. 🙌
