I write the schools teaching and learning newsletters every two weeks. These are NOT my own personal ideas I merely source them from various places (research articles, text books, twitter, educational blogs) to provide CPD to the staff at my school and share best practice. They include teaching and learning ideas, activities, current and topical pedagogy etc. If this is something you are responsible for in your own school or you would like to improve your own knowledge with very short simple snippets of advice then why not download them and save yourself a bit research time. In this download you will receive the first seven newsletters.
