“An audience with the world”
Follow David
David is a multi award-winning deputy head teacher at Heathfield Primary School in Bolton. Faced with the age-old problem of getting his pupils to consider their audience, David built an audience of millions for his pupils to write for.
SATs results in writing shot from 9% Level 5 to 60% Level 5 in just one year, with each child in 2010 making on average, two years progress, a feat that was subsequently matched by the 2011 Year 6 leavers and 2012 leavers.
He is now on a mission to bring blogging to as many teachers and pupils as possible through QuadBlogging, which supports teachers and class blogs by providing an instant relevant global audience.
David and his pupils regularly present about the impact blogging has had on learning and have featured on BBC1 Breakfast TV and BBC Radio 5 Live. David’s Blog can be found at DeputyMitchell.com, and the Heathfield blogs can be found at heathfieldcps.net.
