Writing & the teacher
This resource contains a set of activities that use 'Imaginative writing' in various ways as a tool for thinking and learning. Like many of the resources in The Pool, it aims to breach the barriers between subject thinking and educational thinking. The resource is made up of an introduction and two different activities: Activity 1: helps teachers and supporters of learning to explore the way in which their values and experience inform their minute-to-minute pedagogic decisions. Activity 2: involves identifying metaphors for teaching and then exploring them in practical ways.

Hearing yourself teach
This resource is a development of the familiar idea of a learning journal. It represents an invitation to use private writing as a medium for extending and reflecting upon teaching experience. Thus it focuses on the use of reflective dialogue to defamiliarise day-to-day experience, and consciously improve teaching practice. The resource consists of an introduction and an activity for individuals to undertake in their own time.
