Primary maths at MEI/Oak and KS2-3 transition keep me busy during the day. By night I'm often found with a violin in hand or perhaps marking a bowls match πŸ€”

Oooh - please may I steal this? I'm just tweaking a session I'm leading at the MEI Conference on Friday and this will fit perfectly! I will credit you, of course, and also to make it clear that I didn't take the photo 🀣

Primary educators πŸ‘‹πŸ»

I am interviewing teachers for a research project aimed at understanding how teachers learn from each other in the workplace. But my sample is currently very secondary heavy

Could you (please!) spare me an hour of your time this week or next? It will be interesting, I promise!
