Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I am a secondary school Principal from Northern Ireland, but first and foremost a classroom practitioner who continues on the quest to try and discover - alongside many, many others with a similar passion and interest - what may work best in the classroom to ensure high quality learning and teaching.

It's a really exciting time for educational research. Some of the current writings - Allison / Tharby / Didau / McCrea / Willingham / Crehan etc etc - are just the icing on an increasingly delectable cake.

I hope this blog may help me to formulate and clarify my own views and maybe - just maybe - to make my own small, modest contribution to the interesting debates currently ongoing in the world of education.
