I’m really excited to share that I’ve written a book with the awesome @missis-scs.bsky.social for primary English subject leaders. Huge thanks to @jonhutchinson.bsky.social for his wise words and support along the journey!
I’m delighted to have contributed to this series! @triciamoss.bsky.social and I wanted to bring together everything we wished we’d known back when we were starting out in leadership of the English curriculum. We hope How To Lead It, Primary English does just that for primary English subject leaders!
