Andy Ross, UK, Primary, Early Years

Hi, I'm an experienced primary and early years teacher with a particular interest in raising barriers to professionals in education. I am passionate about the importance of effective leadership, ways that teaching staff can be best utilised and optimising the time in the classroom.

I have a background in experimental physics, so love all things practical and investigative in the classroom, and believe that the journey that academic journey that children take in the early years is probably as daunting and exciting as doing doctoral research - it's a voyage in to the unknown that needs freedom and careful assistance.

A teacher's views on the practise, policy and philosopy of early years and primary education
My blog is an outlet for some of my musings over the current state of early years and in particular I like to address issues which I think are critical to professionals achieving their very best. This could be what effective leadership looks like, how to carry out effective formative assessment or ways that continuing professional development can be used to help us maintain our passion for children's minds and learning.

Pete Watson

Pete Watson

Pete Watson, UK, Secondary, MFL

Current Head of Spanish in an Independent Boarding school. I speak Spanish, French, Portuguese and basic Italian, having lived in a variety of countries including Colombia, Chile, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates. Interested in use of Web 2.0 technology in the MFL classroom, writing, sports, travel, guitars and foreign film.

MFL Tricks
The aim of this blog is to give ideas for MFL lessons. I think there will be a focus on Web 2.0 tools and other potential uses of technology in the classroom, but I will also add ideas for teaching techniques and games and activities that I use in my own lessons, or have learned from other teachers.

I will tend to give examples from Spanish as this is the language I teach, but hopefully most of the ideas here can be used with other languages as well.

Graham Dickie



Graham Dickie, Scotland, Primary

I have been teaching for 10 years. Currently, I am a headteacher in a small, very small, rural primary school in Argyll, on the west coast of Scotland.

That sounds grand until you realise that I am the only full-time teacher in the school! My colleague teaches for a day and a half to allow me time for the never ending paperwork and planning.

I am a dreamer! I see new technologies and dream of ways to use them in teaching & learning. Embedding them in my practice is another matter!
