Thrilled to launch www.miriamhussain.education I have marked the occasion with my first blog on my website - an insight to my career & values in education. www.miriamhussain.education/writing/first I hope to document my writing & reflections as a leader & teacher. Excited for the journey ahead. 📝📚
A reflection on a Macbeth lesson with my Year 11s. The joy of sharing new knowledge and watching students respond with clarity and insight. Teaching is such a privilege.

A superb read by @funkypedagogy.bsky.social on ‘How to teach English Literature’. An excellent reminder on the importance of literary scholarship, symbolism and subject knowledge especially for our students.
