Staffroom Secrets

It can be difficult teaching a subject from scratch, but we are here to help! This website has been designed to help teachers help each other.

In many cases, teachers in schools and colleges can be delivering subjects alone, with little material available to help them plan and deliver interesting lessons. By providing an opportunity for teachers and lecturers to share materials of all kinds, as well as discussing issues on the forum, we hope that you will be able to avoid last minute panics and hours preparing materials that someone else has already created.

Get What You Need

On our forums (Click on the Resources button above) you can see what is available. Not found anything you need or want? Then click on the ‘What You Want’ button, start a new thread and tell everyone what it is that you need, whether it is a lesson plan, a video clip or just some advice.

Help New Teachers

By providing feedback, joining in discussions and uploading your own material, you can help other teachers in your subject area. We hope to avoid teachers having to spend their own money to buy lesson plans, module briefs and other resources and encourage an open source forum of sharing. This way, everyone benefits! For the site to be successful, we hope you can join in and help. If you would like to, get in touch and tell us all about your expertise.

Feel Free

For the moment we are concentrating on teacher training and Media-related topics — but don’t let that stop you writing about what is closest to your heart in teaching and training, no matter if it has nothing to do with these subjects.

If you teach, use the site in any way you can to help yourself or others in the profession.
