And if we get that right, we don’t just build teachers.

We build stories.

We build futures that remember our voices long after the paperwork fades.

THREAD 🧵

What if the most important curriculum in teacher education isn’t written down?
Not the one in policy or paperwork, but the one built quietly in trust, reflection, and becoming.

Ready to submit!

I’ve finished my MA dissertation.

128 pages, 36k words —can’t believe it’s done!

Balancing everything has been challenging; my wonderful family (2 young boys), work, the podcast, amongst other things.

Thanks for the support

Proud of completing and proud of what I’ve produced.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Teign School today.

I recorded two podcast episodes —

One with HOD (Keira Wylie) & some of Teign’s PE ambassadors, we talked pupil voice.

Second, I was joined by two @marjonuni ECTs - Carrie & Ella. We talk ECT year, mentoring & vision.
