Empowering and further educating your teachers will lead to increased student outcomes and engagement.
This has created so many possibilities for teacher professional learning networks that are not limited by geography. We can now reach teachers and students in places we couldn’t before.
Teachers no longer have to travel long distances or for many hours to access high quality professional development.
We serve teachers and schools in 3 ways.
Professional Development Courses
By embracing the options that digital technology provides, we can produce high quality, subject specific, curriculum agnostic, borderless professional development options that build confidence in English and literature teachers.

WTW World Lit Podcast. Decolonising Literature
While we love literature in English, we are aware of how the English language has been, and still is, used to undermine cultures. It frustrates us that you can still see courses in ‘English Literature’ being taught around the world, but the texts that are studied are not English. They are Indian, and Russian and South American among many others.
The internet has provided educators with opportunities that were not even imagined when we started teaching. When researching literature most of us needed to go to the library and find works by other (usually white) academics who had worked with that author or culture.
But we don’t have to do that now.
I can only imagine how wonderful it would have been to speak to a teacher in St Petersburg about how to teach Chekhov.
In the WTW World Lit Podcast – Decolonising Literature we speak to teachers and writers in other countries about their literature. About the culture and history that lies behind the texts we are teaching.
Online Coaching for English Teachers
There is no single body of knowledge to be taught in English and literature. Poetry, novels, plays and films, amongst other texts, are used to teach students the skills they will need when they leave school. We wrote about this on our blog.
‘Soft Skills’ need a better PR Agent. | We Teach Well
As new issues arise and new texts are released, it is necessary for English teachers to keep current. That can be hard to do in the business and immediacy of a school setting. Our coaching programs give them the space and help to do this.

What is this ‘marking the roll’ problem?
Probably electronic roll marking will become de rigueur, but let us not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Let us find other ways to ensure that every student hears their name spoken by an adult with respect, at least once in every lesson.
‘Soft Skills’ need a better PR Agent.
It is 3 years since I made my geriatric foray into the wonderful world of EdTech. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating the geriatric bit, but not much. As a woman in her 60s I often find myself as the oldest person in the room and often the room shows surprise at my...
