Thank you to our many wonderful readers so far this year – and particularly to our many wonderful contributors who write for EduResearch Matters from across the nation. Taking a brief pause from our regular publishing routine to do a recap of some of our posts you may have missed. Many of you will be having a public holiday on Tuesday so here’s a chance to catch up.

Our entire back catalogue is here. Please browse. Want something to listen to? Try this podcast from Don Carter and Jane Hunter but read about it here first.

What’s happening in schools? Teachers now: Why I left and where I’ve gone: a heartbreaking post on why teachers are abandoning the classroom and what they’ve decided to do instead. Also check out Why do teachers have bigger workloads now? and Nightmare so far away: the truth about why teachers can’t live where they work.

What about our students?Trauma in all our classrooms: Here’s how to respond and Screen panic: how much time is too much?
