Get yourself out of your comfort zone. We look from the top of education and the first step on the path to a career in teaching with an ITE university lecturer. Listen to the vision and drive behind Mat Pullen’s take on education and school culture.

#16 Get to know your students. Relationships with your pupils is absolutely critical. Get to know something about them and let them get to know you.
#17 Don’t be afraid to try things. You are the role model to your kids in your class. If they see you taking calculated risks and trying new things they will try new things themselves.
#18 Show your passion and develop something new with an after school or lunchtime club. You can try your ideas out without the pressure and without the observations.
