I don’t really do reviews as the body of evidence of posts on my blog will testify but I wanted to talk briefly about a piece of kit I’ve just got which I felt was essential for me to have. I’ve had access to a Kanex ATV Pro for a…
With there being lots of discussion about NQT’s and students starting their PGCE courses, I thought I’d share a few things that I know now that I wish I had known when I first started teaching – hopefully they will be of some help. This certainly isn’t an exhaustive list…
