Hi I’m Lizzie Harvey, the lead coordinator for the TMEnglishIcons event. I currently work as an English teacher in Somerset, where I am also a middle leader for Student Voice. I am an AQA Language examiner and a Literature graduate. I am really looking forward to our first English event in early 2020. I really believe that high quality and inspiring subject specific CPD is key to that great classroom magic we all aspire to create and master - there’s a Harry Potter metaphor in there somewhere! My current classroom focuses are expanding cultural capital and vocabulary through explorations in Classical Literature, as well as closing the gap in attainment with working-class male pupils. I know TMEnglishIcons will fuel further classroom inspirations. See you there!
