A page for teachers. (If you’re not a teacher, there’s still something here for you).

While you're here, have a look at my books. You can request eBook samples by clicking here. They’re aimed at middle-grade readers.

Teachers are unique. Even those who are not university-trained play a role as teachers. Parent? Sports coach? Music tutor? We are artists, writers, musicians, psychologists, mathematicians, counsellors, coaches, linguists, designers, and moderators. We care. We give a damn. When we need to, we kick ass. We nurture and shape learning.

The Australian Government recently passed legislation prohibiting children under 16 from accessing social media. Although it is still a year away from becoming law, it is another step towards preventing or at least limiting harm from these platforms.

Of course, the platforms themselves don’t cause harm–the end-users do a good job of that.

There’s innovation right there. Books don’t have all the answers, nor does your favourite search engine.
