@MichaelRosenYes We’ll definitely be looking for poets — especially those who teach the ‘how’ — to contribute. We’ll be in touch!
Today we launched NATE's Creative Approaches to Teaching Poetry project, funded by Tower. Teachers from Hall Cross, Wales High, King James's and King Edward VII schools joined James Durran for a day of shared reading, discussion and creative exploration. Updates to follow!
@MichaelRosenYes We surely will! In fact, we’re hoping to recruit some to join us for a larger scale event after the summer to explore the inspiration and process of writing.
Tickets for the NATE Conference, sponsored by @AQAEnglish, are selling fast, but some are still available: £25 trainees/ECTs, £35 members, £45 non-members. Includes refreshments, lunch, exhibitor access and drinks reception. nate.org.uk/product/nate-c…
@NATEfeed @BarbaraBleiman Brilliant piece Barbara! I’ve only read quickly but I’ll be rereading more carefully on Monday and following up on some of the refs. I haven’t read the Burgess et al study, which sounds v interesting
"A few very limited talk strategies have appeared and been endlessly discussed on social media. They risk sucking all the oxygen out of the room": a superb synthesis of genuine, gimmick-free #oracy education by @BarbaraBleiman @NATEfeed: nate.org.uk/2026/06/05/thi…
Interesting article in @NATEfeed on ‘Why good writers still struggle with new writing tasks’ It explains new research exploring how writing in history, science & English varies and the different demands & opportunities they create. nate.org.uk/2026/06/05/why…
In this great article, @BarbaraBleiman explores what the momentum behind oracy means for English classrooms, drawing together research, policy and practice to highlight the ideas we should keep in mind as we prepare for the new National Curriculum. nate.org.uk/2026/06/05/thi…
@BarbaraBleiman Your article raises lots of important points — including the nature of English as a dialogic subject, talk as part of identity and the importance of authentic rather than performative classroom talk. Recommended reading for English teachers.
Can anyone recommend any great English Lit A Level teaching in the south west that might allow me to come and observe/ pick their brains on June 29th? @NATEfeed @EnglishAssoc @mr_englishteach @LauraLolder @DoWise @SPryke2 Huge thanks if anyone has any contacts!

@NATEfeed So awesome, love this
@MichaelRosenYes @NATEfeed They should. I’d love to teach it too- I was a writer for many years before I was a teacher. Wouldn’t it be a joy, both for the students- and for us?
@NATEfeed Hire poets!!! We can teach this!!!
From zines to protest poetry, an East London college has transformed the Extended Project Qualification into a year-long creative writing incubator. Pete Lawler explains how it works — and why it could work in your school too. nate.org.uk/2026/05/22/the…
