Newsletters
Two free newsletters from me — research-informed insights for the classroom and longer-form thinking on teaching, learning, and AI.
I write two newsletters that I hope you’ll find useful. They cover different ground but complement each other — one bite-sized and focused on classroom practice, the other longer-form and more reflective. Both are free, and you can subscribe to either or both below.
📚 Every Monday
Tips for Teachers
Each Monday I break down a research paper and explain what it means for teachers in the classroom. Practical, evidence-informed, and designed to be read with your morning coffee.
