Where to start
Teachers rarely arrive with a course title in mind. They arrive with a problem on a Tuesday. Pick the sentence that sounds most like your week and go straight to what answers it.
Everything is new at once: the timetable, the marking, a parents’ evening you have never been to. What you need is an order of priorities, not another tip.
“I need someone to tell me what matters this term, and what can wait.”
“I want one structured route through my first two years, not twenty browser tabs.”
Settling is partly routine and partly what you ask once they are in their seats. Both can be taught, one small piece at a time.
“Half the lesson goes on getting them in, settled and listening.”
“I ask "does everyone get it?" and a few hands go up. I still don't know who doesn't.”
The books come home, the comments go unread and Sunday disappears. The way out is a different shape of feedback and of planning, not a faster pen.
“I spend my Sunday writing comments that nobody reads.”
“Everyone says AI will save me hours. I don't know what to trust it with.”
“I can plan a good lesson. Planning a good half-term is another matter.”
Your class holds pupils with dyslexia, autism, ADHD or anxiety, and a support plan that says what they need but not how to do it on a Tuesday.
“I have pupils with needs I have not been trained for, and a class of thirty.”
A course supports your teaching. It does not replace advice from your school’s SENCo.
They are in your room this morning and the first lesson is today.
“A new pupil arrived this morning and we do not share a language.”
The job is new, the team is not, and a plan is expected. Leading other adults is a different craft from teaching well yourself.
“I got the job. Now I have a team, a budget and a department that expects a plan.”
“I have been asked to mentor an early career teacher, and nobody showed me how.”
More than one of these?
Tick the courses you want, say how many hours a week you can give, and see the plan laid out week by week before you add anything to your basket.
