A message from the Editor, Helen Mulley

The world of education is fast-moving and high-pressured; everyone has an opinion, and no one can deny that what happens in schools is incredibly important, for students, communities and indeed, our nation’s future. Expectations of teachers have arguably never been higher; yet at the same time, the status of the profession is somehow strangely undervalued. At Teach Secondary, our aim is to try and counter this by focusing on respect and celebration. Sharp, relevant contributions from some of the most innovative and credible educational thinkers and practitioners around encourage challenge and debate; and real voices from actual classrooms ensure that effective teaching and learning is always the main mission, with sharing best practice a top priority."
