There were some brilliant pieces of writing last year - the published collection is well worth getting hold of
Who'd have thought there'd be so many eco-criticism articles? It shows how good emagazine is at keeping up-to-date with what's going on in the literary world
Really enjoyed meeting lots of inspiring teachers on yesterday’s mixed attainment course. Wonderful to have such expertise and enthusiasm circulating in the room.

Reading the Carnegie list every year is a brilliant way to keep up with what's new in children's and YA fiction. Another varied + inspiring crop in 2026 @cilipslg.bsky.social @tiafisher.bsky.social @jprosewriter.bsky.social @patricknessbooks.bsky.social
Package schools bring so much to our webinars - lively, knowledgeable contributions in chat and a boost to overall numbers. The more participants in a webinar, the more the knowledge there is to share
Wonderful to be in Paris yesterday for the ELSA Lifelong Learning conference. Thank you to all the enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers at my 3 sessions and to the organisers for being so welcoming
Brilliant piece in today’s @theobserveruk.bsky.social if you can get hold of it. As English teachers we need to help students look beyond the literal observer.co.uk/news/columni...
It's gone!
I'm struggling to find the right emoji to encapsulate how frustrating this must have been. It's a real problem when being observed by a non-specialist working within a different pedagogical tradition + one I worry policymakers don't fully understand. Your lesson sounds fantastic, btw!
This powerful @georgemonbiot.bsky.social article from 2020 is in the EMC Awe + Wonder anthology. I'll be using it to start my 'Climate Education in English' webinar in June. Two free units of work for all attendees!

It would be an interesting study to track differences in student writing over the years - how do pedagogical + curriculum trends affect what students produce? I think I know just the person for that ...
Giving students 'an appetite for cultural consumption' is a terrific way to approach English
'in a sane world' 🤔
Great numbers on EMC CPD this term. 60 today at @barbarableiman.bsky.social 's 'What is Good Writing for A Level', combo of one-off attendees + EMC webinar package holders. Come join the fun at future courses with a Summer Webinar Package for your team! www.englishandmedia.co.uk/workshops/21...
Researching next term's courses, I came across this slide from a year or two ago. A reminder that English is a subject that resists easy chronological sequencing. Success lies in making effective choices, ones which may well be different to someone else's www.englishandmedia.co.uk/courses/
Wonderful to see schools still sending their teachers on CPD in decent numbers. Two more courses before the end of term that look like filling
At the moment there's only one place left - so hurry!
