(Breaking) Middle Ground is a celebration of Middle Ground, a resource created by English teachers, for teachers. In these free member only workshops, Middle Ground writers will explore the lesson sequences they’ve prepared, delve into their favourite activities, share the inspiration for their work and demonstrate how the resource can be used in the classroom. Whether you're teaching middle years, exploring new ways to support diverse learners, or simply looking for fresh classroom ideas, this series of workshops will offer practical insights and a collaborative space for discovering how Middle Ground can engage middle years learners. Register for as many as you like!
