There are lots of excellent GCSE English YouTubers: @MrBruffEnglish @DystopiaJunkie @staceyreay @happyteacherhub but I am proud of my Macbeth playlist and Power & Conflict videos. It's a good feeling to reach this milestone:

In a few weeks it'll be 5 years since my debut novel, Powerless, came out. It's hard to believe it's been that long. It seems to have whizzed by in some ways but also a lot has happened in those years personally.

Oracy, literacy, di, reading, writing none of this is new/unlocking the secrets of the universe. What’s key is being armed with a toolkit of approaches, grounded in rich subject knowledge & subject specific strategies, that allow us to engage the children we teach in learning

Mr B@teacherslyceumOct 25
A lesson can look brilliant. Pupils engaged. Hands up. Tasks completed. But can they remember it six weeks later? Can they apply it independently? Engagement is visible. Learning is harder to see. My latest article: teacherslyceum.com/2026/10/2… #TeachingAndLearning #EduTwitter

Engagement Is Not Enough - Teachers' Lyceum

As many teachers have done, I have occasionally walked out of a lesson thinking:
